Managing SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is one way to monitor the health of the system and
generate alert messages (SNMP traps) for system problems. To use SNMP, the FluidFS cluster
‐specific
Management Information Bases (MIBs) and traps must be compiled into a customer ‐provided SNMP
management station. The MIBs are databases of information specific to the FluidFS cluster.
