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 SVM status information:
SNMP Agent relays the Running (service is running) or Stopped (service is not running) value for each service.
This data is specific to the application, and such information is contained in the MIB file KSVLA-MIB.txt that is provided together with the application. You can use this file to receive additional information from SVMs. You can also receive other values of SNMP counters from the standard set of the Net-SNMP package.
You can enable or disable SNMP monitoring in the Administration Console when creating a Protection Server policy or in the Protection Server policy settings.
You can also enable or disable SNMP monitoring in the Web Console when creating or modifying the Protection Server policy settings (Application Settings → SNMP Monitoring Settings).
If SNMP Monitoring is enabled in the active Protection Server policy, the SNMP agent installed on an SVM relays information about the status of the SVM to the network management system of your organization.
If the policy that enables SNMP monitoring is inactive, information about the status of SVMs is not relayed.
To enable or disable SNMP Monitoring in the Administration Console:
