A MIB acts as an information base used to store the information of the agent-controlled elements. The MIB is a structured collection of objects, each of which represents an item of management information.
A management system monitors a managed resource by reading the values of its MIB objects. It can also control the resource by modifying (setting) the values of objects in the resource MIB through SNMP SET requests.
MIBs are defined in a MIB specification that describes the management objects relating to a particular resource. The MIB specification also defines how the collection of objects is structured. The MIB module resembles a data-definition document used by both the management system and the agent.
The SystemEDGE agent supports the collection of metrics from the following MIBs:
The agent can use its flexible monitor concept through SNMP traps to send information collected from these MIBs to any management system that accepts SNMP data.
