The Design Of Net Monitor System For Software Applications Based On SNMP

Compared with the matured management of hardware devices in networks, the management of software applications running in networks is still in confusion. This article analyzes the MIB (Management Information Base) structure, ASN. 1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One) and PDU (Protocol Data Unit) in SNMP. On the base of analysis, the author introduces the designation of the Net Monitor System for Software Applications (NetMonitor) whose targets are not hardware devices in traditional SNMP but software applications running in networks. This article shows the structure model of NetMonitor and expands the MIB information. According to characteristics of NetMonitor, the author gives the specific PDU and the communication protocols used among modules. There are detailed solutions to some prime technical problems.
