1.2 Features and Benefits

The following are just a few of the features and benefits of monitoring SNMP-enabled devices with AppManager:

  • Centralize all SNMP generic GET/SET capabilities under a single AppManager tab

  • Retrieve or poll anything from individual SNMP OIDs up to portions of (or entire) SNMP Tables

  • Easily add new MIBs, without entering raw OID values

  • Support SNMP versions 1, 2, and 3.

  • Store and protect SNMP community strings and security profiles

  • Use Knowledge Scripts to perform common SNMP calculations such as deltas on iteratively retrieved values

  • Poll SNMP attributes at short fixed-time intervals, and report critical data about the polled values

  • Use Knowledge Scripts to perform an SNMP walk retrieval of SNMP tables and process/report results across the table

  • Create customized Knowledge Scripts tailored to serve your particular environment

  • Checks for SNMP traps forwarded from NetIQ SNMP Trap Receiver

  • Monitors SNMP version 1, 2, and 3 devices by using SNMP to poll MIBs (management information bases).
