The following MIBs are supported (at least in part and on some systems):

  • MIB-2 General network statistics (RFC 1213)
  • Host Resources (RFC 1514 and 2790)
  • SNMPv3 MIBS (RFCs 2571-5, 3411-3418)
    (including USM, VACM, Target and Notification MIBs)
  • DisMan Event MIB
  • DisMan Schedule MIB
  • MTA-MIB (sendmail)
  • private agent extensions
    (monitor specified processes and disks, memory, CPU, load average, plus extend the agent using shell commands)

See README.agent-mibs for details.

The Host Resources MIB, the DisMan MIBs and the MTA MIB are not included by default, and need to be explicitly requested when the suite is first configured and built. Starting with net-snmp 5.3, the DisMan Event MIB is included by default on all platforms, and the Host Resources MIB is included by default on the major supported platforms.

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.
