Any technical education in monitoring would be incomplete without a thorough understanding of SNMP. SNMP stands for Simple Network Management Protocol. In real life, it is often not simple; does not only apply to network devices; and often cannot be used for management of devices, only monitoring. It is definitely a protocol, however. 🙂
For those of you who need a handy reference guide, we are publishing a new eBook: The Comprehensive Guide to SNMP, authored by yours truly in my copious spare time. Download the eBook and you’ll learn:
- What SNMP is and why it matters
- An explanation of the different versions of SNMP and the pros/cons to using them
- Questions, Answers and Traps
