SNMP
Short for Simple Network Management Protocol, a set of protocols for managing complex networks.
The first versions of SNMP were developed in the early 80s. SNMP works by sending messages,
called protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts of a network. SNMP-compliant devices, called
agents, store data about themselves in Management Information Bases (MIB) and return this data to
the SNMP requesters.
SYSLOG
In order to track information on events, device jobs, and packets flows, most security devices out put
these events using the syslog information model. This output uses a specific format and protocol
defined in RFC 3164.
