Sistema cliente-servidor aplicando SNMP para el control y monitoreo de equipos informáticos en la empresa Ambacar Ltda.

Abstract

Currently, Ambacar Ltda. company has become strongly consolidated both locally and internationally for the excellence and high dedication in the provision of its automotive services, which has allowed it to distribute large amount of computer equipment’s in each of its service points, as they are able to provide the necessary resources for the correct exchange of information. This has led to take into consideration the importance of adequately controlling and monitoring each of the computer equipment’s, in order to provide the best benefits for the organization. For this reason, the present research project aims to implement a client-server system using SNMP protocol, to improve the process of communication, updating, visualization, monitoring and search with each of the previously installed agents in the computer equipment of the Ambacar Ltda. company, by using a web server. For this purpose, each of the components that are part of SNMP management were developed, ASN.1 was used for the development of the managed information base (MIB), to store the required control information, and C# for client development, which runs in the background on each of the computer equipment, to adequately receive and respond to each of the requests sent by the server. Finally, ASP.NET Framework was used for the development of the SNMP web server, using the layer programming model, in conjunction with the use of Bootstrap, CSS, JavaScript and Ajax to improve the design and communication between the client and server side, Additionally, the Extreme Programming (XP) agile methodology was applied to manage the software development process.
