HP snmp mibs

[Mark Henry_3]

Hi All,

Wondering if someone can help..

I want to monitor different aspects of some servers performance. Seems like snmp would be a good way.. so first I have to find MIB documents to tell me what objects I want to sample. I found this site (http://www.mibdepot.com/cgi-bin/downloads.cgi) which has some not too current HP MIB's, but even those are not very clear (to my inexperienced eye) on which exactly I want in order to get memory usage, disk capacity etc.
Does anyone know of a current source of HP MIBs, and more specifically how to read them? I plan to use the tool mrtg to graph some data so whatever the MIB paths are it would need..

Thx,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Finding MIBs are one of the tough task to do. I would suggest you to search with MRTG configuration files for any MIBs. MRTG is SNMP based and it is using OID for getting all the details like memory usage, cpu usage etc. So refer to some MRTG configuration files for these MIB OID values.

But for HP, you have a great tool called glance where you can collect almost all of the performance matrix in the world. I used this data to collect these info every two minutes to draw graphs using perl GD.

Hope this helps
