Preface

This guide covers the Oracle SNMP Support feature and the public and private MIBs that support its use with certain products. This information is provided to assist you in developing SNMP-based management applications for these products.

Audience

This manual is intended primarily for third-party developers of SNMP-based management applications. While these readers may have a good working knowledge of SNMP, they may not be as familiar with relational databases, or Oracle products in particular. A secondary audience for this manual includes database administrators, who may be familiar with Oracle products, but who may be less familiar with SNMP.
