Network Base¶

The nep-network-base provides the minimum requirements to implement a basic monitoring of a network device using SNMP protocol. With nep-network-base it is possible to perform standard monitoring of:

Firewall objects
Router objects
Switch objects
Voip objects
Wifi objects

Using the provided objects, is possible to:

Perform common checks based on SNMP uptime
Perform basic checks based on SNMP (CPU load, Hardware health, Memory usage)
Perform extra checks based on SNMP (Interface health, Interface usage, Stack state)

Minimum supported environment¶

This package can be installed on systems running the software described below. Systems with equivalent components are also suitable for installation.

Required software	Requirements
