Monitoring and Managing

The Netra Proxy Cache Server offers web-based tools that enable you to monitor:

• An individual server

• An array

• The state of the proxy cache service, for an array and a server

There are also web pages that enable you to monitor proxy-cache-related log files. See Chapter 15, Monitoring a Netra Proxy Cache Array and Proxy Cache Service," for a description of the monitoring web pages. See Chapter 17, Monitoring Proxy Cache Log Files," for a description of the various types of logs available.

The Netra Proxy Cache product is shipped with Management Information Bases (MIBs) that enable you to use any SNMP-conformant management platform (such as Solstice Domain Manager) to monitor and manage a Netra Proxy Cache Server. 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.

The Netra Proxy Cache Server and Array MIBs are described in detail in Chapter 16, Netra Proxy Cache Array MIBs and Traps."
