The SNMP management information base (MIB) defines network data available for SNMP monitoring. The MIB file is located in the <pf_install>/pingfederate/SNMP directory. The MIB describes the object identifiers that PingFederate uses to communicate information through SNMP. These identifiers are globally unique and managed by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).
SNMP supports Gets and Traps.
- Gets
- A Get is a request for status information sent by a network-management console to an SNMP agent. Embedded within each PingFederate server is an SNMP agent that brokers the communication between the management console and the PingFederate runtime engine.
- Traps
- A Trap is a spontaneous communication from an agent to a network-management console. PingFederate generates a Trap at regular intervals, the server “heartbeat.” Each Trap contains the amount of time the server instance has been running since its most recent start-up.
Configure access to SNMP monitoring on the
