Monitoring the health of SNMP

The PATROL Knowledge Module for UNIX and Linux gives you the ability to monitor the BMC PATROL SNMP system. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support is built into the BMC PATROL Agent. The application class checks to see if the SNMP Master Agent and subagent are running, lists configuration information, and provides diagnostic tests with which you can troubleshoot problems. This application class also provides the ability to
