Foglight for SNMP 5.9.2 - User and Reference Guide

Overview tab

This tab displays only when a host is monitored by an SNMP agent. If a host is not monitored by an SNMP agent, then the Overview tab does not display.

Purpose

If a host is monitored by an Infrastructure agent, the Overview tab displays system information, alarms, and SNMP traps. If a host is not monitored by an infrastructure agent, CPU and memory information also displays.
