In network management and monitoring systems, or Network Management Stations (NMS), the Simple Network monitoring Protocol (SNMP) is normally used, with which it is possible to obtain information on the behavior, the values of the variables, and the status of the network architecture. network. However, for large corporate networks, the protocol can present latency in data collection and processing, thus making real-time monitoring difficult. This article proposes a multi-agent system based on layers, with three types of agents. This includes the collector agent, which uses a Management Information Base (MIB) value to collect information from the network equipment, an input table of information from the network devices for the consolidator agent to process the collected data and leave it in a consumable format, and its subsequent representation by the application agent as a web service, in this case, as a heat map.

En los sistemas de administración y monitoreo de redes o Network Management Stations (NMS), normalmente se utiliza el protocolo Simple Network Monitoring Protocol (SNMP), con el cual es posible obtener información sobre el comportamiento, los valores de las variables y el estado de la arquitectura de red. Sin embargo, para las grandes redes corporativas, el protocolo puede presentar latencia en la recopilación y el procesamiento de datos, lo que dificulta el monitoreo en tiempo real. Este artículo propone un sistema multi-agente basado en capas con tres tipos de agentes. Esto incluye el agente recolector que utiliza un valor MIB(Management Information Base) para recolectar información de los equipos de red, una tabla de entrada de información de los dispositivos de red para que el agente consolidador realice el procesamiento de los datos recolectada y los deje en un formato consumible y su subsiguiente representación por parte del agente de aplicación como un servicio web, en este caso como un mapa de calor.
