Server Administrator Instrumentation MIB
The Server Administrator Instrumentation MIB (filename 10892.mib) provides
instrumentation data that allows you to monitor the health of a system with
SNMP management applications. It provides:
• Information about the status of temperatures, power supplies, voltages,
currents, fans, and memory at key points in the system
• Rapid access to detailed fault and performance information gathered by
industry standard systems management agents
• Version information for Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), firmware,
and operating system
• A detailed account of every cost of ownership (COO) detail about your system
In addition, traps are sent to report a change in status of the health of critical
components.
The Server Administrator Instrumentation MIB structures its MIB objects
into groups of scalar objects or MIB tables that provide related information.
Table 1-2 describes each Server Administrator Instrumentation MIB group
and lists the MIB group number assigned to the MIB group.
The Server Administrator Instrumentation MIB groups are identified
by the SNMP OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.<MIB group number>,
where <MIB group number> is the MIB group number assigned to the
MIB group. See the relevant section for more information about the
MIB objects defined in a MIB group.
