Concept Guide

Command | Monitor management instrumentation base

The Command | Monitor MIB (10909.mib) provides instrumentation data that allows you to monitor the

health of a client system with SNMP management applications. It provides:

• Information about the status at key points in the system.

• Rapid access to detailed fault and performance information gathered by industry-standard systems

management agents.

• Version information for BIOS, firmware, and operating system.

In addition, traps are sent to report a change in status of the health of critical components.

The Command | Monitor MIB structures the MIB objects into groups of scalar objects or MIB tables that

provide related information. The following describes each Command | Monitor MIB group and lists the

MIB group number assigned to the MIB group. The Command | Monitor MIB groups are identified by the

SNMP OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10909.1.<MIB group number>, where <MIB group number> is the number

assigned to the MIB group.

NOTE: From Dell Command | Monitor version 9.0 onwards, the 10892 MIB is not supported. The

10909 MIB deprecates 10892 MIB and identifies only client systems.

NOTE: You cannot perform write and set operations on MIB group variables.

SNMP basic terminology

It is important to have a good understanding of the key technical terms used in this guide. This guide

provides definitions for all essential terms used in describing the Client Instrumentation MIBs.

NOTE: Supported SNMP versions for Windows is SNMP v1 and v2c.

Tables

This reference guide contains two types of tables:

• Tables that are used to organize and define variable values

• Tables that define MIB objects

Supported SNMP versions

Windows — SNMP v1 and v2c
