Introduction to the SNMP Reference Guide
This reference guide provides a formatted version of the following Management Information Base that are released with
the current version of Dell OpenManage.
Sections in this guide follow MIB groups and provide explanations and definitions for the terms used to define MIB
objects. Content in this reference guide is organized as documented in the following subsections.
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. The below table 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.
