SNMP Informant is an innovative and enabling technology that extends and adds value to the SNMP Management of Windows operating systems.

By simply installing SNMP Informant on a Windows system (with the Windows SNMP service installed), you can begin collecting low-level, mission critical performance and operational data from any SNMP-based network management system such as Castle Rock SNMPc.

SNMP Informant significantly enhances your ability to manage Windows resources throughout your enterprise, thereby supports more effective problem diagnosis, trend analysis, capacity planning and budget forecasting. This can help lower your Windows infrastructure Total Cost of Ownership.

SNMP Informant-Advanced

The flagship product, SNMP Informant-Advanced installs as an extension agent to the Microsoft SNMP stack, and provides SNMP access to hundreds of Windows Operating System Performance Counter objects.

Application Plus Packs

Once you've implemented the Advanced agent, enhance your SNMP monitoring with the addition of one or more Application Plus Packs! These add-ons allow you to collect even more (hundreds more!) performance metrics from:
      - Exchange Server
      - SQL Server
      - ISA Server
      - BizTalk Server

Operational (WMI) Agents

SNMP Informant OS, Hardware, Exchange and Virtual Server agents are "WMI Proxy agents". They accept SNMP messages, convert them to local WMI queries, retrieve the data, and reply back via SNMP. With these agents, the Windows WMI subsystem is opened up to SNMP!
