Custom SNMP Sensors in PRTG Opens a new windowĪnd, to make things more complicated, there's one other thing I should mention, since you mentioned syslog.How do SNMP, MIBs and OIDs work? Opens a new window.We also have this written out as knowledge base articles, with screenshots, if you prefer that over videos: We have a video that looks at MIB files in a bit more detail, as part of explaining simpler SNMP sensors in PRTG: SNMP Basics in PRTG Opens a new windowĪnd then one that explains how to import a MIB file into PRTG to create the custom sensors: SNMP Custom Sensors Opens a new window You then create "snmp custom sensors" in PRTG to monitor the objects you've selected out of the MIB file.
You can then browse through the file to see what information is being offered, and then select which bits you care about (eg. Once you have the files, we offer an importer tool that will read the MIB files and translate them into a more human-friendly format. If not, then I'm afraid you'll have to ask Edgewater for the files (which can be a very painful process.) Look through Edgewater's user interface to see if they've provided the MIB files for download directly in their user interface. Sometimes, if you're really lucky, the MIB files are already included in the firmware. These private MIB files are not included with PRTG, so you would need to get these from Edgewater. However, in addition to the standards, most vendors write extensions to these MIB files, and these extensions are then called "private MIBs" or "proprietary MIBs". There are a set of standardized MIBs that most vendors support - you don't need to worry about these standardized MIBs because they're already in PRTG. A "MIB file" is a text file that contains a bunch of definitions of objects/data that can be queried using SNMP.
