To use SNMP logs in Avid ISIS servers, you need to enable SNMP monitoring on the server. This will allow you to collect information such as system performance, errors, and alerts on network traffic. You can then use SNMP monitoring tools to analyze and track the data collected from the server's SNMP logs.
It's the backbone of network monitoring, but it's not the only thing that can or should be used. Microsoft for example does not recommend using SNMP for OS monitoring on security grounds. The more advanced monitoring software out there like NetCrunch 8 will use performance data from the OS itself, instead of relying on SNMP. Flow data like from NetFlow can also give you much deeper insight into your network traffic than SNMP can. Most simpler devices will rely on SNMP however, like your IP phones, printers, etc.
SNMP is the most widely used protocol for network monitoring

If the projector is SNMP enabled, any network monitoring software out there will be able to do it for you.
It sends an alert message to the management station when a threshold is reached.
Brocade Network Monitoring offers one-way SNMP trap forwarding and filtering, sensing predefined threats, remote troubleshooting, and real time and predictive capabilities for the network.
An SNMP trap is a notification sent from a network device, such as a router or switch, to a management system indicating that a specific event or condition has occurred. Unlike SNMP polling, where the management system requests information, traps are unsolicited messages triggered by events like device failures, threshold breaches, or performance issues. This allows for real-time monitoring and quicker response times to potential problems in the network. Traps are part of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which is widely used for managing networked devices.
Usually its done via SNMP. A device(s) within the network tracks the packets/bytes and this information can be retrieved by the core network via SNMP GET. There are also other devices that integrate AAA and a flow monitoring device to report more accurate information.
Log into Traverse as zyrion with password zyrionGo to Administration -> Devices -> Create a new deviceSelect the device type, enter the SNMP string if known and version.On the next screen, select SNMP and PING checkboxes. If you are adding a Windows server, select the WMI checkbox instead of the SNMP checkbox.Hit Continue on the next screen and wait while Traverse scans the target device.A list of all tests found on that device will be displayed. Click on the "Provision Tests" button to add the device.The device will automatically be scheduled for monitoring.

SNMP (simple Netwrork Managenet Protocol) provides system management tool for networks. An administator can monitor remote computers running Windows clients with SNMP Agent.
