In this episode, we explore how Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Syslog operate as essential monitoring and diagnostic tools in cloud deployments. SNMP collects performance and status data from devices and services, enabling centralized monitoring dashboards to track health metrics and generate alerts. Syslog provides a standardized way to forward logs from various systems to a central location for storage, analysis, and correlation. Both are critical for troubleshooting, capacity planning, and security auditing.

We also discuss how to secure these services, including using SNMPv3 for encryption and authentication, restricting collector access, and ensuring log integrity in transit. On the Cloud+ exam, you’ll need to recognize scenarios where these protocols enhance visibility, streamline monitoring, and support compliance requirements. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com, where you’ll find more cyber prepcasts, books, and information to strengthen your certification path.
