23.8. SNMP Sensors¶

Reports » Devices » Overview » SNMP Sensors displays the following data when there is at least one SNMP Sensor active:

Status	A green check mark indicates that the SNMP Sensor is connected to the database. If you see a red “X” instead, make sure that the WANsupervisor service is running and look for errors in the event log.
Sensor Name	Displays the name of the SNMP Sensor. Click to open a new tab with specific data. Administrators and operators can right-click to open the SNMP Sensor Configuration window.
Interface	Interface name and the associated color.
Pkts/s (In / Out)	Inbound and outbound packet rate.
Inbound Bits/s	Inbound throughput and usage percent.
Outbound Bits/s	Outbound throughput and usage percent.
Errors/s (In / Out)	For packet-oriented interfaces, it represents the number of inbound and outbound packets that contained errors, preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, it represents the number of inbound transmission units that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.
Discards/s (In / Out)	Discarded inbound and outbound packets even though no errors were detected to prevent them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
Oper. Status	Current operational state of the interface. The Testing state indicates that no operational packets can be passed. If Administrative Status is Down then Operational Status should be Down. If Administrative Status is changed to Up then Operational Status should change to Up if the interface is ready to transmit and receive network traffic; it should change to Dormant if the interface is waiting for external actions (such as a serial line waiting for an incoming connection); it should remain in the Down state if and only if there is a fault that prevents it from going to the Up state; it should remain in the NotPresent state if the interface has missing (typically, hardware) components.
Admin. Status	Desired state of the interface. The Testing state indicates that no operational packets can be passed. When a managed system initializes, all interfaces start with the Administrative Status in the Down state. As a result of either explicit management action or per configuration information retained by the managed system, the Administrative Status is then changed to either the Up or Testing states (or remains in the Down state).
CPU%	Percentage of CPU resources used by the process.
RAM	Amount of RAM used by the process.
Start Time	Time when the SNMP Sensor started.
Server	The server that runs the SNMP Sensor.
