Running the Configuration Wizard
|
|
Query Manager Configuration Wizard lets you add devices to the polling
configuration either manually, by importing device definitions from a file,
or by discovering devices using the advanced Device Discovery operation.
The Device Discovery feature lets you quickly discover SNMPv1, SNMPv2c
and SNMPv3 devices either on the local subnet or in the specified address range.
The discovery can also be performed as the SNMP-based network scan.

Configuring parameters for polling remote SNMP devices
|
|
Device Properties window lets you view and configure the SNMP access parameters
and the polling interval for polling a particular SNMP device.
SNMP MIB Query Manager supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 protocols.

SNMP MIB Query Manager supports all SNMPv3 USM security levels and protocols,
including support for the CFB-AES-128 privacy protocol.
Besides the standard SNMPv3 User-based Security Model, Query Manager
supports also the DOCSIS Diffie-Hellman key ignition algorithm for
seamless management access to the DOCSIS-based SNMP agents,
like cable modems, cable modem termination systems, set-top boxes, etc.

Configuring polling units
|
|
To specify what OIDs you want to monitor, you simply drag-and-drop
desired OIDs from the MIB Tree view onto the list control of the
Polling Unit Properties window. OIDs can be scalar OIDs,
whole or parts of MIB sub-trees, or MIB tables (with all
or only specified instances). Table index discovery function
is also included.

Configuring polling groups
|
|
Polling units are organized in polling groups which could be shared between
devices. To associate a polling group with an SNMP device, drag the
polling group and drop it onto a device icon.

Configuring event notification options
|
|
Query Manager can inform you about any type of event that requires
your attention either via e-mail, by playing sound files, and/or by invoking
external programs and passing the event information to them through
command line switches. By default, all events are also logged to an
ASCII file and included into generated HTML reports.

Query Manager includes a set of predefined RMON templates that let you configure
RMON collections on remote devices in a straightforward manner.

Controlling Query Manager Polling Engine
|
|
Query Manager lets you control the operation of the Polling Engine module (start, stop,
restart, database setup, ...). When the Polling Engine is started, it continuously polls
devices on the network, detects and notifies users about network events, stores the
polling results to a database and generates HTML and/or CSV report files containing
polling results.

 (View Web report screen shots in full size)
SNMP MIB Query Manager periodically generates and updates interlinked
HTML report files that enable a full-featured online or offline Web monitoring of your network.
By viewing the main Web report page in a Web browser, you can keep
yourself fully informed about the current state of monitored devices
and their interfaces, view problematic devices, interfaces and storage units,
and see a history of network events.
To see the detailed information about
individual devices, their interfaces, response latency, packet loss rate,
CPU, memory, disk utilization rates etc., simply follow the hyperlinks on
the main page that lead you to the Web pages dedicated to individual devices.

Monitoring network events in Query Manager
|
|
The Events tab of the Output window displays all detected network events
in chronological order. Events are displayed with different colors,
based on the event severity level, so you can tell at a glance if any
important event occurred.

Viewing device performance statistics
|
|
(view other device performance screen shots)
Device Performances window lets you view device's basic system information,
monitor device's current response times and packet loss rate,
network interface statistics and, for systems implementing the
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB, also device's current CPU, memory, and disks space utilization rates.

Viewing polling results in graphs
|
|
Query Manager lets you monitor graphically presented values
of numerical OIDs and MIB expressions collected from one or more devices.

Viewing collected OID values in the Polling Results window
|
|
Polling Results window displays the values of all OIDs and MIB
expressions collected from a device within the given time frame.
Polling results can be exported to CSV files for external viewing or post-processing.

Expression Editor lets you edit the built-in MIB expressions
or create new ones. MIB expression is an arithmetic formula
used for calculating values that cannot be acquired by simply
querying OIDs, because no OID that provides such information
is implemented in the monitored SNMP device.
