Management and Monitoring Services
The Management and Monitoring Services component of Novell ZENworks Server Management provides industry standards-based monitoring, management, and reporting for heterogeneous network environments.
Management
Site Services |
Management Site Services includes automatic network discovery, network topology mapping, alarm management, role-based administration, statistical reporting, and MIB tools. |
Traffic
Analysis Agent |
Traffic Analysis Agent monitors network traffic, captures data, and collects statistics for monitored network segments, nodes, and devices on NetWare and Windows servers. It includes tools to help you review and analyze the gathered data. |
Server
Management Agent |
Server Management Agent provides SNMP-based management agents for NetWare, Windows, and Linux servers. These SNMP-based agents supply real-time server performance data, along with information about server alarms and events. Using Server Management, you can perform tasks such as trending, graphing, and fault management. |
Advanced Trending Agent |
The Advanced Trending Agent gathers and stores the trend data (historic data) for any parameter instrumented by an SNMP agent, if it is defined by a MIB variable and not just pre-configured MIB variables. |
