SNMP Monitoring

If it supports SNMP, WhatsUp Gold can manage and monitor it.

Straightforward SNMP monitoring

No matter the device, system, service, application or OS, if it has an SNMP MIB or is WMI enabled, it can be managed by WhatsUp Gold using the same consistent standards based data.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an IP based application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between management / monitoring solutions and any SNMP enabled devices.  SNMP enables network administrators and IT professionals to manage network and application performance, find and solve problems, and plan a path for growth.
