Proxy Sniffer SNMP agent

The Proxy Sniffer SNMP agent allows you to collect arbitrary values from SNMP enabled devices, while running a load test.

This allows you to mesaure performance data from all devices involved in the process of serving HTTP requests.

How does it work

The SNMP agent acts as a proxy between the Proxy Sniffer GUI server and the monitored SNMP devices. While a loadtest is running, the agent will perform SNMP queries at regular (configurable) intervals. The collected data is then collected by Proxy Sniffer and is available for further processing (visualization).

Results

After a load test has been run you'll be able to plot the values of the SNMP measurements in a graphic. This examples shows a graphic plotting the CPU utilization of a webserver during a load test:

Requirements

The SNMP agent will run on any machine where a JRE 1.5 is available.

Pricing

The SNMP agent is available as an add-on to Proxy Sniffer. It's priced at 600 USD. Support and maintenance costs an additioanl 300 USD per year.
