- Create a custom MIB poller to monitor any SNMP-enabled device
- Collect detailed information stored in device MIB table
- Monitor virtually any statistic available on networked devices
- Combine and transform polled MIB values
- Import and export custom MIB pollers
Out of the box, Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM) ships with MIB support that includes a MIB database that covers the vast majority of common network devices. But for that handful of odd devices that are lurking in your network – or for newer devices that have MIB tables – you can now collect valuable and highly detailed management data. For example, using Orion NPM support for MIB tables, you can retrieve a list of CDP Neighbors using the Cisco CDP Neighbors Table Universal Device Poller.
Orion NPM makes it easy to create a custom poller to monitor any SNMP-enabled device value that has a MIB, including virtually any statistic that a network device records. Examples include monitoring temperature on a switch, fan speed on a router, and battery status on a UPS. In addition to creating custom MIB pollers, SolarWinds has an extensive database of MIB information to determine the English name for each OID and the MIB to which it belongs.
You can also customize how you want the collected data displayed for graphing, alerting, and reporting purposes. And, using the MIB Transformation Wizard, you can convert MIB values into the units of measurement that are most useful to you. Choose from a list of common transformations, such as converting monitored CPU temperatures from Celsius to Fahrenheit, or create your own multi-MIB formulas to display, for example, the average interface throughput on a router.
Additionally, you can collect detailed information stored in device MIB tables and easily create formulas such as the min, max, average, or sum of MIB entries in the same column. You can even export MIB pollers or transformations you’ve created, or import those created by others.
