hi
I was trying to monitor some Applications of a Novell ZenWorks Server, but I'm not able to find them all.
For example I can't see the service novell-zenserver.
Is there maybe a configfile I have to edit?
Please help me
I don't think there's enough info here to help. Have you opened a Support ticket?
not at the moment
I try to monitor the applications via SNMP-Monitor, but the applications I need does't appear. I've this Problem on more "Novell" servers
You should run a MIB Walk on the hrSWRunTable - 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2 and see if it returns the name of the applications you need to monitor.
If they are there, then open a ticket as advised by Denny as something might be wrong in APM.
If you cannot find them, you will probably need to refer to the SNMP Agent documentation installed on your Novell servers to figure out how to populate the apps in this MIB table.
If you have Engineer's Toolset, you can use SNMP MIB Browser to quickly check if the app is in the MIB table.
Start > All programs > Engineer's Toolset > Classic Tools > SNMP Tools > SNMP MIB Browser
If not then you can use snmpwalk in command line.
It can be downloaded from the below URL as stand alone tool without the need to install the full Net-SNMP package.

It will tell you that some modules are not installed which is normal and you should see what returned your device.
If it returns "No Such Object", then the MIB is not supported or you specified wrong protocol version, community string, ip address etc...
HTH,

I also can't see the application with a MIB Walk, but the MIB is supported.
How I can enable the apps for snmp monitoring?
The documentation of the SNMP agent installed on your server should explain how to populate correctly the list of apps in this MIB. I have never worked on Novell servers so I am not sure how you could make it work.
As per this doc from Novell: http://www.novell.com/documentation/znac5/znac_user/index.html?page=/documentation/znac5/znac_user/data/bg66dma.html
It should fully support the Host-Resources-MIB which contains the hrSWRunTable.
It seems that it is based on Net-SNMP.
I advise you to check the Novell ZenWorks forum: http://forums.novell.com/novell-product-support-forums/zenworks/
The Net-SNMP website might be useful too if I am correct guessing it uses this SNMP agent:
http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/man/snmpd.conf.html
See the Process Monitoring section in the above link.
If you have a support contract with Novell, it might be time to use it as well .
