Launch Tools

Launch SNMP Monitor

You can use any standard SNMP-based monitoring tool to view details of the health of the Unified CVP solution network. All Unified CVP product components issue SNMP events, which can be delivered to the network monitoring tool. To specify a SNMP-based monitoring tool as the destination for SNMP traps and statistics, you must edit the Log Messages XML file on the Unified CVP Server for each event that the server generates. For information on editing the Log Message XML file to send SNMP events to an SNMP monitoring tool, see Edit Log Messages XML File.

You can launch the administration web page for an external SNMP monitoring tool from the Tools menu in the Operations Console.
