SNMP Settings

PA Storage Monitor can associate a set of SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) credential with a monitored computer or device.

The following context menu choice allows you to see the Set SNMP Settings dialog.

The Set SNMP Settings dialog allows you to set SNMP credentials that are appropriate for the server being monitored.

This dialog allows you to set the following items:

SNMP version of the remote agent - v1, v2c and v3 are supported. The SNMP version value v2c is the default setting.
If using SNMP version v3, a username/password needs to be entered
The community string value is set to 'public' by default

The SNMP settings are used for checking disk space and CPU usage on Linux/*nix machines, as well as by the SNMP Monitor for products that support it.
