Information
Announcement Support for this product will end on November 3, 2025. We recommend that you use PATROL for Linux, PATROL for AIX, or PATROL for Solaris to monitor operating systems.

Viewing PATROL SNMP MIB


This task describes how to check the SNMP information stored in a MIB. The dialog defaults to the BMC PATROL Agent MIB. However, if you know the computer name, listening port, community string, and OID (object identifier) of another process that uses SNMP, you can walk that process's MIBs.

This feature is primarily used to test that the BMC PATROL SNMP Master Agent is populating its MIB.

Before you begin

For detailed information about the BMC PATROL SNMP MIB, see the appendix, "PATROL SNMP MIB," in the PATROL Agent Reference Manual.

To View the SNMP Management Information Base for PATROL

  1. Access the SNMPHealth application menu as described in Accessing KM Commands and InfoBoxes.
  2. Select Test PATROL SNMP System > Walk PATROL SNMP MIB. BMC PATROL displays the Walk PATROL SNMP MIB dialog box.

  3. Define the portion of the BMC PATROL SNMP MIB that you want to view.

  4. Click OK.
     BMC PATROL writes the information to a BMC PATROL task object (Walk PATROL SNMP MIB) in the UNIX OS container.
  5. Access the Walk PATROL SNMP MIB task object as described in Accessing KM Commands and InfoBoxes and view the results. Your results should resemble this example:
