NetXMS Support Forum

hi,

why do i need the mib compiler ? where do i see it's results ?
if i won't use let's say the polycom mib but i will define some traps via the snmp trap tool and create an event,i will not see it or see it incorrectly in the alarm browser ?

Hi!

The only purpose of MIB compiler is to provide information for MIB browser. Presence or absence of a MIB does not affect data collection or trap processing. You only need MIB files (and need to compile them) if you wish to select SNMP objects from the tree in MIB browser. You can just enter OIDs in numerical format by hand (or take them from external MIB browser) - in that case MIBs in NetXMS are not needed.

Best regards,
Victor

just as i thought.

thank you victor
