Hi All

Is it possible to monitor Network devices / SNMP that sit behind a SCOM Gateway server? If so, how do these get discovered?

I have a need to monitor devices like HP printers, WAP, JetDirect cards, EPOS equipment etc. on a site that doesn't have SCOM on-premise.

Are there any limitations to this?

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, it is possible. when you create discovery, you may specify that it should run from gateway server.

On the device you want to monitor, set your SNMP public community string to point to the IP address of the SCOM Gateway server. In the SCOM Administration console, choose Network Devices in the Discovery Managment Wizard choose network device and click next. In the next screen enter the IP address of the network device you want to monitor and under the mangment server drop down choose the gateway server whos IP you entered in the SNMP string earlier.

Here is a similar thread for you reference:

In addition, you may check is there any management pack for your devices and import them into your management group.
