2.2.1 Resource browsing function
You can browse the resources of servers on a network. This function acquires MIB objects from SNMP agents and displays them in the Resource Browser window of the monitoring manager.
The following figure shows how SSO browses resources.

If the ESA is running on the SMS server, the SMS information can be browsed as well. SSO can browse two types of resources: summary data and performance data.
- Summary data
-
Static information such as computer configuration information and setup information
- Performance data
-
Dynamic information whose value varies by time such as operational information and statistics
The SNMP-agent protocol versions that are supported for resource browsing are SNMP Version 1 (SNMPv1) and SNMP Version 2 (SNMPv2c).
The resources that JP1/Cm2/SSO can browse depend on the MIB object that can be acquired by the SNMP agent.
