The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet-standard protocol for managing devices on IP networks.
Many devices support SNMP and uses range from ordinary to exotic. Monitoring the health of these devices can provide useful functionality to a Sybase CEP system. Adding the SNMP capabilities to control network devices, page someone, or take automatic actions on pre-programmed events makes SNMP an important part of an administrator's toolkit.
Sybase CEP allows you to both get and set SNMP OIDs.
