January 28, 2013

Overview:

Devices send traps the SDC – Secure Domain Connector 

  • Central trap locations for all devices: 
    • Primary Trap Director         
    • Host-Name:
    • IP Address:
    • Location: 
  • Failover Trap Director  
  • Datacenter Network Devices: 
  • eHealth
  • eHealth Primary
    • snmp-server “Host-Name”
    • snmp-server “community” 
  • Datacenter Network Devices:
  • Host-Name:
  • IP Address:
  • Location: 
  • eHealth
  • eHealth Backup
    • snmp-server “Host-Name”
    • snmp-server “community”

Variety of mechanisms monitor enterprise at multiple levels

  • Edge agents track CPU load, memory usage, and disk activity
  • RMON probes collect packet statistics and protocol data from links, paths, and network devices
  • Capable of receiving third party MIBs to leverage existing technology and monitoring solutions

Information assembled by central console server and correlated to build various views and reports

  • Backend Database storage and data management
  • Rules and thresholds highly customizable to ensure alerts and reports are tailor to needs of user, whether technical or business
