Management Information Base

A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of information that is organized hierarchically. MIBs are accessed using a network-management protocol such as SNMP.

They are comprised of managed objects and are identified by object identifiers.

The LogLogic MIB is an integrated MIB for your appliances. The LogLogic SNMP agent responds to requests from SNMP managers.

NMS, Agent, and MIB Relationship

A copy of LOGLOGIC-SNMP-MIB.txt is located under /usr/share/snmp/mibs folder or from the TIBCO Support Website, you can download LOGLOGIC-SNMP-MIB.txt to load into your NMS. After it is loaded and configured, NMS is able to query your LogLogic appliance. In addition, you should enable SNMP the appliance you want to monitor and control. For details about enabling SNMP, see Enabling SNMP.

SNMP is a request-response protocol used to transfer management information between entities acting in a manager role and entities acting in an agent role. The NMS requests data from the appliance to display it in a user defined form. Snmpwalk (or snmpget) is a command line tool to get data from your appliance.
