Library monitoring and querying

The TS4500 tape library provides several way to monitor library status and query the library for operating details.

TapeAlert support
The TS4500 tape library is compatible with TapeAlert technology, which provides error and diagnostic information about the drives and the library to the host application.
SNMP requests
The TS4500 tape library allows requests from an SNMP manager running systems management software, such as Netview®.
SNMP messaging
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) enables the tape library to exchange information over a TCP/IP local area network with an SNMP manager running systems management software, such as NetView®.
SNMP audit logging
SNMP audit logging provides logging information about specific TS4500 tape library user actions.
