Host Resources MIB

The Host Resources MIB is defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to provide management information for generic host systems. The MIB includes information especially useful for asset management, such as the following:

• Storage areas, such as file systems and disk partitions
• Running and installed software
• System devices, such as keyboards, disks, and network cards

You can use SystemEDGE with the Host Resources MIB to automate asset tracking and provide a current picture of your installed hardware and software. SystemEDGE can determine whether your systems are properly configured and whether they include the current patches and service packs. This information can help simplify systems management, improve performance, and reduce security risks.

For more information about how the SystemEDGE agent uses the Host Resources MIB, see Host Resources MIB appendix.

Note: Host Resources MIB object support varies by platform. For a list of unsupported Host Resources MIB objects on each platform, see the SystemEDGE Release Notes.
