ELM SNMP Collector

SNMP Collector Monitor Items collect some or all SNMP data from IP Virtual Agent(s) being monitored. Data can be collected based on one or more OIDs. The SNMP Collector requires the Windows SNMP service and operates by polling the IP Device at a scheduled interval, then writing the data to the ELM Database as SNMP Data.

SNMP Collectors behave like Performance Collectors. Performance Collectors query monitored servers for defined statistics and return that data to the ELM Primary Database. An SNMP Collector's job is to collect the data provided by an IP Device using the Simple Network Management Protocol and deliver the record(s) to the ELM Server.

The SNMP Collector displays the OID, Translated Name, and the Community fields. An SNMP community string is a text string that acts as a password. It is used to authenticate messages that are sent between the management station (the SNMP manager) and the device (the SNMP agent). The community string is included in every packet that is transmitted between the SNMP manager and the SNMP agent. After receiving an SNMP request, the SNMP agent compares the community string in the request to the community strings that are configured for the agent. The Add OIDs button opens the Select OID window. This window provides the opportunity to select specific OIDs to monitor. OIDs may be browsed from a server or from a MIB file.
