A Comparative Analysis of Network Management Protocols in IoT Applications

Abstract

The complexity and growth of new smart objects networks are generating a new demand for the maintenance of these devices, with the need to remotely monitor and control these devices without consuming significant resources. Analyzing the memory and electric power consumption of the protocols used in the management of these networks is a way to highlight the best protocol alternatives for this type of application. This study develops an experimental study, analyzing the behavior of SNMP, Zabbix and MQTT protocols, in terms of memory and electric power consumption, when it is used in an Internet of Things application, with a sensor device implemented on the ESP8266. The experiment is performed by monitoring devices in an environment with some Motes and a Zabbix server. The study analyzes the ROM and RAM memories occupied by the firmware code, in addition to the electric power consumption of each protocol. At the end, the study confirms that the three protocols analyzed are supported by the platform used. The research shows that the SNMP is the protocol that consumes the least amount of device memory, that there is no significant difference in the energy consumption between the protocols and that the MQTT protocol is suitable to be used in this environment and it also enables a significant reduction in energy consumption.

Pemantauan Jaringan Menggunakan Nagios Dan Zabbix Dengan Notifikasi Telegram Messenger Dan Google Mail

“…Protokol Zabbix sangat sederhana dan bekerja dengan koneksi TCP. Zabbix Agent yang mengimplementasikan potokol manajemen yang digunakan sebagai target pemantauan dan kemudian menyediakan data untuk sumber daya lokal (22). TCP merupakan protokol yang terdapat dalam OSI Layer di layer transport yang mendukung transfer mechanism data yang reliable, sehingga aliran data yang dibaca TCP receiver berurutan, utuh, tanpa duplikasi dan tidak rusak (23).…”

Desain dan Implementasi Sistem Monitoring Sumber Daya Server Menggunakan Zabbix 4.0

“…Salah satu perangkat lunak yang banyak digunakan untuk implementasi sistem monitoring sumber daya server atau perangkat jaringan adalah Zabbix [6]. Tentu saja banyak kriteria yang harus dipenuhi dalam memilih perangkat lunak monitoring, tetapi kelebihan perangkat lunak ini adalah open source dan free, antarmuka berbasis grafis, dan menggunakan database SQL (Structured Query Language) sebagai pengelola data [7] [8].…”

Developing Integrated Smartphones Notification of Server Resource Monitoring System Using Zabbix, Webhook, and Telegram

“…The last terms is Zabbix. Zabbix is one of the software that is widely used for the implementation of a server resource monitoring system or network devices [9]. Of course, many criteria must be met in choosing monitoring software, but the advantages of this software are open-source and free, graphical interface, and use structured query language (SQL) database as data manager [10][11].…”
