Items

Name Description Type Key and additional info
Overall system health status

MIB: IMM-MIB

Indicates status of system health for the system in which the IMM resides. Value of 'nonRecoverable' indicates a severe error has occurred and the system may not be functioning. A value of 'critical' indicates that an error has occurred but the system is currently functioning properly. A value of 'nonCritical' indicates that a condition has occurred that may change the state of the system in the future but currently the system is working properly. A value of 'normal' indicates that the system is operating normally.

 SNMP agent system.status[systemHealthStat.0]
Hardware model name

MIB: IMM-MIB

 SNMP agent system.hw.model

Preprocessing

  • Discard unchanged with heartbeat: 1d
Hardware serial number

MIB: IMM-MIB

Machine serial number VPD information

 SNMP agent system.hw.serialnumber

Preprocessing

  • Discard unchanged with heartbeat: 1d
Uptime (network)

MIB: SNMPv2-MIB

Time (in hundredths of a second) since the network management portion of the system was last re-initialized.

 SNMP agent system.net.uptime[sysUpTime.0]

Preprocessing

  • Custom multiplier: 0.01
Uptime (hardware)

MIB: HOST-RESOURCES-MIB

The amount of time since this host was last initialized. Note that this is different from sysUpTime in the SNMPv2-MIB [RFC1907] because sysUpTime is the uptime of the network management portion of the system.

 SNMP agent system.hw.uptime[hrSystemUptime.0]

Preprocessing

  • Check for not supported value: any error

    ⛔️Custom on fail: Set value to: 0

  • Custom multiplier: 0.01
SNMP traps (fallback)

The item is used to collect all SNMP traps unmatched by other snmptrap items

 SNMP trap snmptrap.fallback
System location

MIB: SNMPv2-MIB

Physical location of the node (e.g., equipment room, 3rd floor). If not provided, the value is a zero-length string.

 SNMP agent system.location[sysLocation.0]

Preprocessing

  • Discard unchanged with heartbeat: 12h
System contact details

MIB: SNMPv2-MIB

The textual identification of the contact person for this managed node, together with information on how to contact this person. If no contact information is known, the value is the zero-length string.

 SNMP agent system.contact[sysContact.0]

Preprocessing

  • Discard unchanged with heartbeat: 12h
System object ID

MIB: SNMPv2-MIB

The vendor's authoritative identification of the network management subsystem contained in the entity. This value is allocated within the SMI enterprises subtree (1.3.6.1.4.1) and provides an easy and unambiguous means for determiningwhat kind of box' is being managed. For example, if vendorFlintstones, Inc.' was assigned the subtree1.3.6.1.4.1.4242, it could assign the identifier 1.3.6.1.4.1.4242.1.1 to its `Fred Router'.

 SNMP agent system.objectid[sysObjectID.0]

Preprocessing

  • Discard unchanged with heartbeat: 12h
System name

MIB: SNMPv2-MIB

An administratively-assigned name for this managed node.By convention, this is the node's fully-qualified domain name. If the name is unknown, the value is the zero-length string.

 SNMP agent system.name

Preprocessing

  • Discard unchanged with heartbeat: 12h
System description

MIB: SNMPv2-MIB

A textual description of the entity. This value should

include the full name and version identification of the system's hardware type, software operating-system, and

networking software.

 SNMP agent system.descr[sysDescr.0]

Preprocessing

  • Discard unchanged with heartbeat: 12h
SNMP agent availability

Availability of SNMP checks on the host. The value of this item corresponds to availability icons in the host list.

Possible values:

0 - not available

1 - available

2 - unknown
