Windows – SNMP HOSTMIB.MIB not loading

monitoringsnmpwindows

Forgive me if the answer is something glaringly obvious but I just can't seem to get access to any OIDs under the HOST branch in SNMP.

I've used an SNMP browser to inspect a few of my systems and none of them show a HOST branch under ISO.ORG.DOD.INTERNET.MGMT.MIB-2.

Any thoughts as to why? I'm looking to monitor a few computer's hardware resources via SNMP and unfortuantely all such OIDs live under the missing HOST branch,

Any thoughts?

So there's two quick answers:

  1. Try the mibs via OID numerically (if you can), snmpwalk may be your friend.

  2. You might just need to compile the relevent MIBs, you'd have to see the software/OS documentation to do that.
