Data acquisition
Each probe uses a different method to acquire data. Which method the probe uses depends on the target system from which it receives data.
The Probe for Genband IEMS is a direct SNMP monitoring probe. The probe acquires event
data by acting as a trap daemon and monitoring SNMP traps and events
on both UDP and TCP sockets. It is able to handle a high volume and
high rate of traps and receives traps independently of trap processing
using an internal queue mechanism.
Note: Depending on the Genband IEMS version the following elements may not be available in the
EMS. Check with Genband for further details:
- nnExtAlarmActiveAdditionalText2
- nnExtAlarmActiveIdAlias
The probe handles high trap rates and high burst rates using two buffers: one buffer for all of the sockets that the probe monitors, and an internal queue between the reader and writer sides of the probe.
