VSP One SDS Block has an SNMP agent function that issues failure information (pertaining to the VSP One SDS Block storage cluster) as event logs (using the SNMP protocol) to an SNMP manager connected to a control network prepared by the user.

Also, you can verify the system configuration and operating state by using the SNMP protocol.

VSP One SDS Block, which has detected failure information regarding the devices to be managed, sends a message called a trap to the SNMP manager without being requested by the SNMP manager.

To use SNMP, set items such as SNMP enable or disable, SNMP trap issuance destination, SNMP-based request permission, and system group information according to Setting SNMP access control.

For the SNMP protocol, a standard structure is defined for management information and database, which is called "Management Information Base (MIB)".

(Virtual machine)(Bare metal) Information about the hardware that has a failure is defined by MIB. In addition to a standard MIB, an extended MIB is provided.

(Cloud) Information about the EC2 instance or EBS volume that has a failure is defined by MIB. In addition to a standard MIB, an extended MIB is provided.

The failure information issued to the SNMP manager includes information from event logs whose severity is "Critical", "Error", or "Warning".

Failure information issued to the SNMP manager is based on the event logs created after setting SNMP. Event logs created before setting SNMP are not applicable.
