Managing the application over SNMP

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol for managing network devices.

To work over the SNMP protocol, Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway uses an SNMP Agent to track information about application performance. Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway can send this information in the form of statistics or SNMP traps, which are notifications about application events.

The SNMP protocol allows you to access the following information about the application:

Read-only access is granted.

Information about SNMP traps and statistics sent over SNMP is stored in the MIB database. The local snmpd service on each cluster node serves as the SNMP server receiving the statistics. Interaction with an external SNMP server over the AgentX protocol is not supported. SNMP traps can be received by using the snmptrapd service locally on each cluster node, or they can be redirected to an external server.

For operations over the SNMP protocol, preconfigure the snmpd service in the operating system on each cluster node.
