Monitoring
SNMP monitoring
Any device that speaks SNMP, polled from inside your network by an agent.

What it checks
SNMP monitoring
One implementation covers more equipment than every agent platform put together: switches, routers, printers, UPS units, NAS boxes and PDUs all answer SNMP, and none of them will run an agent.
The community string is stored encrypted, and the poll happens from an agent inside the network rather than from the internet.
- SNMPv2c polling of an OID you choose, with a threshold and a comparison.
- A catalogue of the usual OIDs (interface status, interface traffic, uptime, CPU, temperature) so you do not have to look them up.
- Any numeric OID you type, for the ones we do not list.
It comes with the rest of the platform
Every monitor type shares the same alerting, the same status pages and the same map: escalation with on-call hours, a public status page, checks from independent networks, and agents for anything the internet cannot reach.
Questions
- Which SNMP version?
- v2c. The community string is encrypted at rest and never leaves your network, because the poll is performed by your agent.
- Do I need to know OIDs?
- No, for the common cases: the catalogue covers interface status and traffic, uptime, CPU and temperature. Anything else can be entered as a numeric OID.
- Does the device need to be reachable from the internet?
- No, and it should not be. The agent polls it locally and reports the result outward.
