All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Observer, java.lang.Runnable, java.io.Serializable, javax.servlet.Servlet, javax.servlet.ServletConfig

public class Interfaces

extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

implements java.util.Observer, java.lang.Runnable

The Interfaces servlet collects information about all the interfaces on a SNMP server.

It will collect continuously information (depending on the update interval) unregarded it being accessed. It will start when the servlet is initialized (that is when the web server is started and loading all its servlets) until it is destroyed.

The following parameters should be configured when installing this servlet on a Java based webserver:
• HOST the hostname or IP address of the SNMP server, default localhost
• PORT the port number of the SNMP server, default 161
• INTERVAL the update interval, default 10 sec

When accessing this servlet (with a GET action) it will print its last updated information to your webpage. The servlet will respond quickly, since it already has the information. This information can easily be parsed so you can to combine it with an application.

In order to use a servlet you need to have a Java based webserver where you can add and removed servlets.

The benefit of an servlet is that:
• this servlet is the only one to collect this information
• every one (that is allowed by the web server) can access this information
• the network traffic will be kept low
• the chance of success is bigger, since a servlet has much more privileges than an application
• no application is needed if the servlet returns the information as (html) text
