5.12. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an "Internet-standard protocol for
managing devices on IP networks". Devices that typically support SNMP include routers,
switches, servers, workstations, printers, modem racks, and more. It is used mostly in
network management systems to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that
warrant administrative attention. SNMP is a component of the Internet Protocol Suite as
defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It consists of a set of standards for
network management, including an application layer protocol, a database schema, and a set
of data objects. SNMP Agents expose 'MIB Objects' expressed as Variables.
SNMP Server module allows SNMP agent exploring, crawling for exposed variables,
displaying real-time values on the mobile clients and monitoring variables for changes using
configured rules.
Using Pulseway Manager you start by discovering your network for SNMP agents or you can
manually add them by providing the connection details.
