Google Search Appliance: Getting the Most from Your Google Search Appliance Essentials 70
Monitoring a Search Appliance with SNMP
You can also set up the search appliance so that status information can be monitored using any third-
party SNMP management application. Through SNMP, the search appliance provides a subset of the
information that appears in the Admin Console. The data provided through SNMP is read-only.
Using SNMP with a Search Appliance
To use SNMP monitoring with your search appliance, you need:
• Management Information Base (MIB) files for the search appliance, which you can obtain from
Google
• A third-party SNMP management application, such as HP OpenView, freeware utility Getif, or Linux
tool snmpwalk
• To enable and configure SNMP on the Administration > SNMP Configuration page
