Title: Import MIBs
Post by: padonker on December 14, 2006, 12:52:20 PM
I've downloaded MIBs for my Dell servers and Storage devices, how do I import these MIBs in netxms?
I've dropped them into the mib directory and renamed them to .mib.txt, but is that enough? I cant seem to find them anywhere! I've restarted the netxms core
tnx

You should compile them first. Standing in the directory where all mibs reside, run the following command:

nxmibc -d .

nxmibc is located in NetXMS bin directory, so on Windows you probably will need to run it as

..\..\bin\nxmibc -d .

If everything goes OK, MIB compiler should produce updated file netxms.mib in mibs directory. You don't need to restart NetXMS server, just console. Console will detect that mib file is updated and download it. After that, you will see new oids in mib browser.

Best regards,
Victor

P.S. You may also wish to add -z option to produce compressed netxms.mib, which will be significantly smaller than uncompressed.
