The Sybase Adaptive Server Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Agent Plug-in is a Unified Agent Framework plug-in, which provides SNMP-based network monitoring for Adaptive Servers. SNMP provides a means to monitor and control network devices, usually in TCP/IP networks.

SNMP sends messages, called protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts of a network. SNMP-compliant devices, called agents, store data about themselves in Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP requesters.

The Adaptive Server SNMP Agent Plug-in implements the Adaptive Server Management Information Base (MIB). The Adaptive Server MIB contains descriptions of the objects SNMP manages.
