Monitoring SNMP Agents & Traps

Many devices use SNMP to report their health and operations. They often use SNMP traps to report failures or they can also embed a true SNMP agent and a documented MIB which specifies the meaning of each SNMP OID. Listening to SNMP traps and, even better, polling SNMP agents constitute an efficient way to ensure that your device is operating properly.

Monitoring Studio supports SNMP v1, v2c and v3 for SNMP polling. For SNMP traps, only SNMP v1 is supported.
