SNMP Manager1.67

SNMP Manager is a lightweight Windows application designed to help you monitor network connections.

User interface

The GUI looks outdated and provides a simple way for viewing individual clients or workstations as icons. The icons turn red in case of failed attempts to ping the IP address and green if the IP address responds to SNMP requests.You can change the icons revealed for each workstation based on the devices’ object ID. You may extract icons from EXE or ICO files. Plus, you can make the application show the IP address, SNMP object name or custom text below the icons.

Network monitoring options

SNMP Manager gives you the possibility to tweak the ping process by modifying the polling frequency, timeout, and size. Plus, you can ping each workstation individually.A new workstation can be manually added by providing information about the IP address and name, as well as enabling SNMP. What’s more, you can use the IP discovery tool in order to identify IP addresses based on the subnet address.Last but not least, the program lets you edit the tools that can be launched directly from the icons, enable the automatic polling mode, ping a custom host, as well as get information about the status of each client (time, date and message).

Bottom line

All things considered, SNMP Manager integrates a few network monitoring features but it hasn’t been updated for a long time so you can make use of its capabilities especially if you are the owner of an old operating system like Windows 95, 98, NT or 2000. A GUI facelift is also needed in order to make the entire process easier to work with.
