WLDF in action

This is a REALLY interesting article on how to setup SNMP alerts in WebLogic, using the WLDF framework

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/cico-wldf-091073.html

It's POWERFUL. One wonders why people don't use WLDF and SNMP by default to manage WebLogic domains.
The answer is probably that these products are not properly packaged for the end user, they are still cumbersome to setup and exploit... so people still rely on 3rd party agents and monitoring tools like Nagios, Hyperic etc.

It's a pity that such a valuable tool receives so little attention.
