disk space) as well as the condition of essential iControl services (GSM, RMID, Densité Manager,
etc.).
Both types of agents are discussed in detail in the following pages.
Configuring the GSM as an SNMP Agent
Any iControl GSM can be made to act as an SNMP agent. The GSM SNMP agent reports the
status and alarms of Miranda’s Densité and Imaging cards and frames (along with every other
alarmable entity visible in the GSM Alarm Browser) in the form of an SNMP table (see
). This table can be queried or polled for alarms and statuses by any third party SNMP
Manager.
You can configure the GSM to act as an SNMP agent for all alarms or you can configure the
GSM as an SNMP agent for an individual alarm. Additionally, you may have multiple instances
of the GSM-as-SNMP-agent when the agents represent different alarms.
