FAQ:Agent 01
From Net-SNMP Wiki
[edit]
What MIBs are supported?
The following MIBs are supported (at least in part and on some systems):
- MIB-2 General network statistics
(RFC 1213 and subsequent revisions) - Host Resources (RFC 1514 and 2790)
- SNMPv3 framework (RFCs 2571-5, 3411-3418)
(including USM, VACM, Target and Notification MIBs) - DisMan Event and Schedule MIBs
- MTA-MIB (sendmail)
- private UCD/Net-SNMP agent extensions
(monitor specified processes and disks, memory, CPU, load average, plus extending the agent using shell commands)
See README.agent-mibs for details.
Not all MIB modules are included by default on all systems, and some of these may need to be explicitly requested when the software is first configured and built. From Net-SNMP 5.3 and above, this primarily applies to the MTA-MIB of those listed above.
There are a few other MIB implementations distributed as part of the source tarball, but these are basically unsupported and most of the core developers have little or no experience with using them.
