You can receive information about the status of SVMs deployed in the virtual infrastructure by using any network management system that utilizes the SNMP protocol. An SVM is installed with an SNMP agent that can send information about the status of the SVM to the network management system of your organization.
SNMP Agent can relay the following information about the status of SVMs with the File Threat Protection component:
The count of protected virtual machines includes all virtual machines that were under the protection of the application over the last 30 days, even if those virtual machines are currently powered off.
For SVMs with the Network Threat Protection component, SNMP Agent can transmit information about RAM usage by the nsmain process (as a percentage of the maximum value that, when reached, causes the application to restart).
This data is specific to the application and such information is contained in the MIB files named KSV-MIB.txt and KSVNS-MIB.txt that are supplied together with the application. You can use these files to receive additional information from SVMs. You can also use other MIB files to receive the necessary information from SVMs.
You can restrict the list of IP addresses to which the SNMP Agent relays SVM status information to prevent unauthorized access to the SNMP service.
