Monitoring
Reliable system monitoring through statically assigned SNMP indices
With anynode 4.14, system and network monitoring becomes significantly more reliable and stable in the long term. Especially in environments where administrators, network engineers, or operators of large SIP infrastructures work with tools such as Zabbix, PRTG, or Nagios, the new capability to permanently assign SNMP indices to specific objects plays a crucial role. Nodes, routes, or interfaces retain their index numbers even when configurations are modified or system structures change. Monitoring systems can therefore consistently access the same metrics—regardless of updates, expansions, or adjustments in the setup.

Reduced Effort and Increased Operational Reliability
This approach greatly reduces administrative workload: dashboards no longer need to be redesigned, triggers do not need to be adjusted, and queries do not have to be revised after every configuration change. Historical data remains comparable, which significantly simplifies long-term monitoring, trend analysis, and availability measurements in high-availability enterprise networks or provider environments. Especially where multiple anynode instances are integrated into central monitoring systems, or cloud SBCs require continuous supervision, the consistency of indices leads to a noticeable increase in operational reliability.
Extended Monitoring Data and Secure Access Control
In addition, anynode 4.14 expands the scope of monitoring information with more detailed data on Hot Standby status, additional MIB entries, and new traps for system and link status changes. Administrators can precisely control both SNMP and WMI access, with access disabled by default for security reasons. This flexibility ensures that both traditional data center environments and modern cloud or hybrid infrastructures can be reliably monitored at all times—with maximum transparency and minimal administrative overhead.
In a hot standby environment with two anynode systems, the hot standby status is monitored by an external tool via SNMP.
