Abstract
A cloud service provider hypervisor server, which supports a cloud service provider hypervisor, receives a cloud consumer's management information base (MIB) from a cloud consumer. The cloud consumer's MIB is a portable MIB that is capable of being loaded into multiple cloud service provider hypervisors. A trap receiver in the cloud service provider hypervisor server receives a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap from a resource described by the cloud consumer's MIB. The SNMP trap is an SNMP message, from the resource, that describes an event in the resource. The SNMP trap bypasses the cloud service provider hypervisor, such that the cloud service provider hypervisor server transfers the SNMP trap to the cloud consumer without any interpretation of the SNMP trap by the cloud service provider hypervisor.
