The cloud-base version of Traverse requires users to install a Data Gathering Engine extension (DGE extension) on any network they want to monitor. The DGE extension relays data from the network you are monitoring to a component of your Traverse cloud website called the DGE. The DGE performs the actual polling of data, receives SNMP traps, generates alarms based on thresholds, and does the aggregation of data in real time. When you install a DGE extension for your local network, you are asked to identify the "upstream" DGE that your DGE extension will relay data to.
If you are using firewalls within the data center, you must configure access through the firewalls to enable the monitoring of the devices behind them. Also, if you are using Network Address Translation (NAT) or a private address space, the IP address must be unique within the data center.
