ipMonitor Feature » Support for SNMP & WMI


  • Retrieve and analyze data from devices, servers, and applications using SNMP v1/2
  • Manage Windows® devices and applications via WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation)
  • Browse and search ipMonitor's internal MIB database or create a custom MIB database

ipMonitor utilizes multiple "interrogation methods" to collect data from monitored devices, including SNMP, WMI, and RPC. ipMonitor automatically selects the method best suited to the device type, ensuring that you are always presented the most accurate and complete data available.

SNMP Monitoring

ipMonitor supports two methods for testing and analyzing data from SNMP-enabled servers, network devices, and applications:

  • Polling: The SNMP Monitors poll devices, servers and applications on timed intervals to retrieve and analyze specified data.
  • Listening: The SNMP TRAP Monitor listens for incoming traps sent by SNMP agents and analyzes the data it receives against specified rules.

WMI and RPC Monitoring

ipMonitor relies on WMI and RPC to deliver advanced monitoring of Windows devices, servers, and applications. Leveraging support for WMI and RPC, ipMonitor provides monitoring for many Microsoft technologies, including:

  • Monitoring the health of SQL servers
  • Monitoring Exchange performance, queue, and RPC counters
  • Ensuring Windows services are running
  • Testing the Kerberos 5 authentication server's ability to serve tickets
  • Scanning security, system, and application event logs
  • Monitoring available drive space on Windows shares
  • Monitoring structure of directories and file properties
