Abstract

In a multi-core device or clustered system, instead of snmpd polling for configured monitoring values of an entity to determine if reached a threshold, each core in a multi-core system or node in a clustered system triggers information to the snmpd about entities that may be or are generating SNMP traps. A configured threshold T is distributed among the cores or nodes, as the case may be, based on the number of cores or nodes. If there are ‘n’ cores in a multi-core device, and the configured threshold is ‘T’, then each core checks for a per-core threshold value ‘T/n’. If there are ‘n’ nodes in a clustered system, and the configured threshold is ‘T’, then each node checks for a per-node threshold value ‘T/n’. Snmpd then gathers information about this entity from all the cores and checks for the threshold ‘T’.
