SNMP

The SNMP Check component allows you to use SNMP credentials to monitor a specific application instance running on a device. You may add an SNMP Check component to an application profile or an application instance.

Name. Enter a unique name for the component.
Description. Enter additional information about the component.
Critical. Click to select this check box if the component is critical.

Note: Components specified as critical cause the application to go into a down state when the component is out of threshold. Non-critical components cause the application to go into a warning state. For more information on application states, see Working with application states.

Polling frequency. Select a time (in minutes or hours) you want APM to wait between polls.
Performance Counter. The performance counter you would like to monitor. You may type the performance counter or click browse (...) next to Instance to select the counter.
Instance. The instance you would like to monitor. You may type the instance or click browse (...) to access the SNMP MIB browser and select the specific device, performance counter, and application instance you want to monitor.
Use raw value. Select this check box to gauge the current polled value instead of tracking the rate of change over time.
Polling timeout. Enter the length of time APM attempts to connect to the selected device. When the time you enter is exceeded without connecting, a timeout occurs and APM stops trying to connect to the device. This is considered a failed connection.
Poller retries. Enter the number of times APM attempts to send the command before the device is considered down.
Warning threshold. Enter the component thresholds for the warning state. For example, if the component value is greater than 90 for 5 minutes, put the component in the warning state.
Down threshold. Enter the component thresholds for the down state. For example, if the component value is greater than 95 for 5 minutes, put the component in the down state.
