SNMP Support

This release supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for monitoring devices over IP networks.

The grid provides standard statistics on Linux hosts for each physical server and the grid controller. In addition, you can access CPU, memory, disk, and network usage statistics for all running appliances and the grid controller, as reported by the hypervisor. Network and disk names display their CA AppLogic names, such as terminal 'in' or volume 'boot'. Appliance statistics are provided as an SNMP extension.

No additional grid resources, such as dedicated monitoring appliances or applications, are required. There are no changes needed to your applications and nothing to enable per application or appliance.

The SNMP data is accessible from the external network of the grid controller over a secure, authenticated connection. CA AppLogic supports only SNMPv3.
