SNMP monitoring requires that the device be configured to allow SNMP polling by our Network Operation Center and it must be configured to have SNMP traps pointed to a special IP address on our servers which captures and reports on this information to the Network Operations Center. ITO Agent monitoring builds on the functionality of SNMP monitoring and extends it to the actual operating system of servers. SNMP Monitoring is included in ITO Agent monitoring. This agent check every significant aspect of the routine operation of the server and reports on the overall health of the server to the EasyStreet Network Operations Center. Any problems such as low disk space, application errors, hacking attempts, and countless other elements are constantly checked and compared against baselines for indications of trouble now or to come.
Agents are available for all major platforms.
EasyStreet will provide you with the agent software as part of the monitoring service activation process. This is usually a single word with no spaces and acts as a kind of password for SNMP monitoring. These two string should usually be different and you only need to provide the Read Community String for EasyStreet Monitoring. The read string only allows us to gather information and does not allow us to change anything on the device. Port monitoring does not require a community string.
