Monitoring and Managing Proxy Services

The Netra j proxy cache server offers three different types of tools for monitoring the state of proxy-caching services:

• You can monitor proxy cache services through web pages. See "Monitoring a Netra j Proxy Cache Server" for a description of the monitoring web pages.

• You can monitor proxy cache services through web-based log tracing tools. See "Proxy Cache Log Files" for a description of the various types of logs available.

• You can use any SNMP-conformant management platform (such as Solstice Domain Manager) to monitor and manage a Netra j proxy cache server through Management Information Bases (MIBs) included in the Netra j proxy cache software. The software also supports a set of traps that notify you of critical events, ranging from a down server to a failure report on a server component. See "Configuring SNMP Services".
