NMS Provides following features :-

Network Statistics

    Using SNMP protocol NMS can also capture some of the important Network Statistics of the given host. Basic facility provided in it are as under:

Using SNMP commands like snmpget, snmpwalk we can search for the given ObjectID in the SNMP agent at the remote host. These ObjectIDs are described in the MIBs. Our NMS runs this commands for the particular variable from the remote agent and the response is sorted and distributed accordingly for the each protocol details.

Here, the above fields are the variable, which are included in the RFC 1213 MIB, which is supported by almost all available agents.

Graph

    Graph Section will display various graph of some very useful Network Statistics. This includes Graph on   IP, TCP, UDP and ICMP.

    Graph we have used SNMP for getting various data and for displaying in graphical form a package from Advent net.

    First we collect all the data using SNMP and then this is displayed on graph. Graph is updated in every second.

Screen Capture

    Screen Capture is utility from which one can capture screen of remote computer. Thus one can know what the remote computer is currently doing.

    When the NMS asks for the particular host’s screen, it will send the message for it to the NMS client side daemon. The client side daemon will capture the screen and using encoding, it will convert it to the JPEG file. After saving the file using new socket it will send it to the NMS server side daemon. And finally the JPEG file will be displayed to the NMS server.

Task Manager

    Task Manager is utility from which one can manage task running on remote computer. Thus one can run any task to remote computer or kill the running task on remote computer.

User Manager

    Our main aim is to develop Network Management System that will handle the entire Network Management task. As parts of this we have add feature that will handle user account with suitable right access.

Partition Information

    Partition Information will display partition table of the remote computer. It includes partition, its size, mount point, if it is bootable or not, if it is writeable or not etc.

     The server side program will ask for partition information to the client. This is also done using SNMP. We have used various ObjectID for it and using snmpget and snmpwalk command fetch all the values and displayed in tabular form

CPU-Memory Usage

    CPU-Memory will give which process is using how many CPU time and how much memory uses. The CPU usage is given in millisecond and the memory usage is given in kilobytes.

    By using SNMP we have take each process Cpu time and Memory Usage. Server side program will ask for Cpu usage and Memory Usage and these data will be capture and displayed in tabular form.
