Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a service which runs in the Guest OS of a VM. Turbonomic uses SNMP to understand which applications are running on a workload, and their resource consumption from the OS perspective.

(6.4 version family, only) Turbonomic uses SNMP to create application instances by name, stitch the named instance to the VM, and feed per-application resource consumption to Turbonomic.
