Simple debugging tool for monitoring
configurations that use SNMP
With SNMP Tester, you can run simple SNMP requests against a device in your network.
This test program is based on the SNMP technologies built into PRTG Network Monitor.
The idea of this program is to have a tool that enables you to debug SNMP activities
to find communication and/or data issues in SNMP monitoring configurations.
If the SNMP connection works with this test program, it also works with PRTG.
