Many CA Performance Center data sources use SNMP to query the MIBs of managed items for performance information. SNMP profiles are definitions that contain the information necessary to enable secure queries of device MIBs using SNMP. These definitions provide SNMP parameters to data sources when needed while ensuring data security.
When you register a data source, any profiles that were created in the data source are added to CA Performance Center. The reverse also occurs: Profiles already established in CA Performance Center are sent back out and shared among all registered data sources. Naming conflicts are resolved. And any changes made to a profile are propagated to all registered data sources during synchronization.
Users with the Administrator role can create, edit, and delete SNMP profiles. Although all SNMP profiles are shared among data sources, they are specific to tenants. The Default Tenant Administrator sees a list of SNMP profiles associated with the Default Tenant (which is transparent in a single-tenant environment). In multi-tenant environments, each tenant administrator can only see the profiles for that tenant.
