The Host Resources Subagent is an implementation of the Host Resources MIB document, proposed standard RFC 1514. The Host Resources MIB Subagent is also compliant with Host Resources MIB, draft standard RFC 2790. This MIB defines objects that are useful for managing host systems. The subagent provides SNMP access to useful host information, such as the storage resources, process table, device information, and the installed software base.
A few Management Information Base (MIB) documents have advanced far beyond the gathering of data for delivery to a management station. This new generation of MIBs creates a new level of intelligence within the SNMP Agent. However, this generation of "thinker" MIBs are much more difficult to implement properly, requiring more than the MIB Tools or compilers than were sufficient for the earlier generation of MIBs.
The Host Resources Subagent is a fully ready-to-go subagent that sits on top of the EMANATE® Master Agent, providing the management services of the Host Resources MIB. This MIB provides useful information about the system itself, its storage capabilities, system devices, file system information, and the software installed and running on it. These items allow for efficient host management.
Below is a list of the management groups and the information the Host Resources Subagent provides in each.
The Host Resources MIB groups objects into the following management information groups: System, Storage, Device, File System, Running Software, and Installed Software.
