The AS/400 has native SNMP support, and my understanding is that Nways provides
additional function for it. But even without Nways, you can integrate it into
NetView. Jim Kellock has posted this information about it before.
In 1997 he wrote:
Yes, you can monitor AS/400. There's an AS/400 module for
Tivoli Framework I believe, but you can also include
SNMP-enabled AS/400's in your netview management. There
a publication in the AS/400 advanced series called
'SNMP Support' that explains the configuration and the
available SNMP MIBs. Doc number is SC41-3412-00.
and in 1998:
For people interested in AS400 SNMP info, there's a Redbook called
An Introduction to AS/400 SNMP Support, SG24-4504-01, 2nd Ed., Nov. 1997
And another user posted this information about a trapgend-like agent available
from other sources:
An OS/400 SNMP Agent is available from COMTEK. It monitors processes, disks,
cpu and other resources. Also filters and forwards QSYSOPR messages to OV.
Includes a management tool as well.

Subject: Re: querying AS/400
I have seen one that I was told was the regular host Netview for AS/400
with SNMP turned on. I remember being surprised that the mib variables
it responded to looked suspiciously like trapgend. Have you tried a
query of the private branch of the mib tree with the mib browser?
Cordially,

Hello,
does anybody know about a SMUX agent for OS/400 that would allow us to
retrieve
information about CPU activity, etc, a bit like trapgend does for AIX ?
