Introduction

when monitoring network devices with PRTG. The present document describes the underlying

concepts and application fields for the SNMP tester, as well as it explains how to use the tester

in detail.

Why SNMP Tester?

Monitoring via SNMP is the most basic method of gathering bandwidth and network usage

data. However, SNMP as a base for extensive monitoring often comes not without problems.

Reasons for these issues are not obvious in many cases.

The SNMP Tester is developed to support debugging steps for SNMP monitoring with PRTG.

You can test various configurations to communicate with an SNMP device. The tester records

every step of this communication so that you can investigate the functionality of your SNMP

device and the corresponding SNMP settings.
