DESCRIPTION:

OpenVMS has a long history and was very popular because of it’s reliability and industry specific applications. It supports SNMP but the datapoints are not very helpful. Luckily, a company named ComTek makes an SNMP agent with lots of good datapoints. (click here for more details). Below are screenshots that show some examples of the datapoints and graphs.

vms-misc vms-disks vms-errors

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Buy (or get a trial) of ComTek and install it on your OpenVMS system.
  2. Download these DataSsource files (disk, misc, errors) and add them to your LogicMonitor account using Settings > Datasources > Add > From file.
  3. You can add more OIDs to these datasources or create additional datasources. Look at the MIB file to figure out which OIDs.
