Hello Tom

So the solarwind expects SNMPV2 ? Does SNMPV2 handle bulk request?

My experiences with Solarwinds interacting with z/OS have not been pleasant.

First discovered it as my major source of Scanning ports of my system for 
vulnerabilities.Until I purposely put in Defensive Management Demon 
filters, they were my ONLY source of that kind of hacking attempts.  Maybe it 
was a different program on the server identifying itself as Solarwinds, but a 
bad tase is a bad taste.

Second discovery is that their software introduced  worldwide investigations 
into some questionable practices and intrusion attempts.   Defective software 
or Chinese TikTok attack V1.0.

That was enough to keep them in mind as a company to avoid. If they have 
cleaned up their game, more power to them.  If I have misread the situation, I 
apologize.  I have enough worries before trusting something with the track 
record I have experienced.

I forgot that was the name of the product, was thinking it was the cutesy
name of the exploit (a la "SPECTRE" et al.) and thought you were either
joking or deluded! LOL

Anyway, no, sorry.

Solarwind to z/OS

2023-05-08 Thread Jake Anderson
Hello

Is anyone in the list who has already implemented Solarwind connection to
z/OS over SNMP ?

I have few questions about it and let me know if we can discuss it ?
