Net-SNMP Agent
Net-SNMP is a popular open-source health monitoring package consisting of an SNMP
daemon (snmpd), an SNMP agent, and several utilities. Net-SNMP allows a third party SNMP
manager to monitor various aspects of an Application Server, such as its network interface
statistics, processor usage, disc usage, and memory usage.
MIB Browser
The MIB Browser enables loading, browsing, and searching MIBs, browsing the MIB tree, and
performing all other SNMP-related functions. The MIB Browser also enables viewing and
operating the data available through an SNMP agent in a managed device.
The MIB Browser:
• enables saving of MIB Browser settings.
• provides the capability to load and view MIB modules in a MIB tree.
• helps in traversing the MIB tree to view the definitions of each node for a particular object
defined in the MIB.
• enables performing the basic SNMP operations, such as GET , GETNEXT , GETBULK , and SET .
• supports multi-varbind requests.
• enables real-time plotting of SNMP data in a graph. Line graph and bar graph are the two
types of graphs that are currently supported.
• provides a user-friendly view of the SNMP table data. The table data can be viewed in a
separate window called SNMP Table Panel.
• enables viewing the incoming traps using Trap Viewer and parsing of traps.
