A Corente Services Gateway uses the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to monitor servers. Any servers to be monitored must have an SNMP agent installed on them. For Windows servers, the SNMP Windows component is required. For all other operating systems, is is best to use the NET-SNMP agent. But you can use any other agent, as long as it supports the Host Resources MIB as defined in RFC 2790.
You can monitor any server that meets the following requirements:
The monitored server must support SNMP Version 1 (as defined in RFC 1157) and be able to respond to polls from SNMP network management stations.
The monitored server must support the Host Resources MIB (as defined in RFC 2790).
If the monitored server is not on the same LAN as this Corente Services Gateway, the Corente Services Gateway must be able to communicate with the server either over the Internet or through alternate methods (such as via a private backbone or alternate connection).
