Configuring the Domino SNMP Agent for Linux
Follow the steps below, once per platform, to configure the IBM® Lotus® Domino® SNMP Agent for Linux®.

Note Before using the Domino SNMP Agent, make sure TCP/IP and SNMP are properly installed and configured on the server. To use the NET-SNMP Master Agent provided, refer to Using NET-SNMP with the Domino SNMP Agent. Otherwise, verify that your Master SNMP Agent supports the SMUX protocol, per RFC 1227. Ensure that the Domino executable and the Domino data directories are in your search path.

Otherwise, refer to the documentation for the master agent technology you are using. Configure appropriate trap destinations and community names for your remote management infrastructure.

Note The Domino SNMP Agent is set up to run automatically. This means that once the Domino SNMP Agent is configured, it is virtually always running, even when Domino is not. If you later upgrade Domino, stop the LNSNMP process before beginning the upgrade process.
