The Simple Network Management Protocol is used to monitor devices on a network for conditions that require attention. When the Rapid Recovery Core is set as an SNMP agent, the Core report information such as alerts, repository status, and protected machines. This information can be read by an SNMP host using a standalone application called an SNMP browser.
Data objects managed by SNMP agents are organized into a Management Information Base (MIB) file that contains Object Identifiers (OIDs). Each OID identifies a variable that can be read or set using SNMP.
You can download a MIB file from the Rapid Recovery Core. This file, named quest-rapid-recovery-core.mib, can then be read by an SNMP browser in a more user-friendly fashion than data it receives directly from the Core.
Use this procedure to download the SNMP MIB file from the Rapid Recovery Core.
- Navigate to the Rapid Recovery Core Console.
- On the icon bar, click (More) and then click Downloads.
The Downloads page appears.
- Scroll down to the Other Files pane.
- To download the MIB file, click the SNMP MIB file download link.
The SNMP Configuration settings appear.
- In the Opening quest-rapid-recovery-core.mib dialog box, do one of the following:
- To open the log file, select Open with, then select an SNMP browser application for viewing the text-based MIB file, and finally click OK.
The MIB file opens in the selected application.
- To save the file locally, select Save File and click OK.
- To open the log file, select Open with, then select an SNMP browser application for viewing the text-based MIB file, and finally click OK.
