Abstract

Join us for this session that describes the value of increased agility and shorter time to adopt new technologies through the use of the self-certification capabilities provided with the CA Unified Infrastructure Management SNMP Collector. When new system technologies are implemented, the IT administrator can create vendor certifications to rapidly begin monitoring those technologies and to develop rich, meaningful metrics by adding new device and MIB OID support to the SNMP Collector probe. Attend this session to get the most out of the SNMP Collector self-certification in the event that existing device metrics are insufficient or if you have unsupported SNMP-enabled devices.

Overview and Architecture


Overview

Customize the out-of-the-box monitoring capabilities.

Customize expressions associated with out-of-the-box metrics.

Accelerate monitoring of new vendor device without waiting for official support.


Architecture


Key Definitions

Components Physical or logical subdivisions of device

that can be individually monitored

(e.g., CPU, Interface and Jitter)

Metric Families A set of metrics that define all of the

monitoring attributes for a particular

component


Key Definitions (cont’d)

Vendor Certifications A set of metric definitions for a device

containing vendor MIB OIDs and mapped

metric definitions

Metric Definition The raw or derived value of an OID

associated with a metric in a Metric Family

Select SNMPCollector instance.

Validate test device.

Load MIB file for OIDs.

Select required OIDs.

Add OIDs to cart.
