SNMP for the SMC Appliance

SNMP traps and monitoring access can be configured to receive information about the health of the SMC Appliance.

Using SNMP monitoring software or an SNMP station, the appliance can be polled for information about available disk space, memory utilization, and running processes. Polling the appliance regularly helps you to identify appliance events early, such as partitions becoming full or processes running hot. SNMP Traps can be configured so that the appliance alerts the specified user or community.

Both SNMP 2c and 3 are supported. Configuring SNMP access to the SMC Appliance is done from the Management Client. The list of available Net-SNMP common MIBs can be found in the /usr/share/snmp/mibs directory. Visit https://⁠www.net-snmp.org for MIB descriptions.

Note: SNMP users and communities have read-only access to the appliance.
