Abstract. The increasing complexity of distributed computer systems generates the need for continuous monitoring and analysis of their performance. This paper presents some aspects of implementation of a distributed network management system according to the network management requirements called FCAPS (fault, configuration, accounting, performance and security) outlined in the ISO and ITU-T documentations. The idea of utilizing of certain part of FCAPS management tasks by adding diagnostic data to network communications scenarios and providing this data via SNMP protocol is presented.
