Monitoring Directory Server Using
The server and database activity monitoring log setup described in Chapter 12,
"Monitoring Server and Database Activity" is specific to Netscape Directory Server
(Directory Server). You can also monitor your Directory Server using the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) which is a management protocol used for
monitoring network activity which can be used to monitor a wide range of devices
in real time.
SNMP has become interoperable on account of its widespread popularity. It is this
interoperability combined with the fact that SNMP can take on numerous jobs
specific to a whole range of different device classes, that make SNMP the ideal
standard mechanism for global network control and monitoring. SNMP allows
network administrators to unify all network monitoring activities, with Directory
Server monitoring just part of the broader picture.
