Netcool MIB Manager is an IBM® Eclipse-based
GUI application that you can use to parse Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) management information base (MIB) files, from which
you can generate Netcool rules files. It is intended as a replacement
for the mib2rules utility.
Tivoli
Netcool/OMNIbus also
includes a Netcool MIB Manager command-line utility (nco_mibmanager_batch)
that you can use to issue commands manually or programmatically.
Netcool MIB Manager has the following features:
- It imports SNMP MIB files and resolves MIB dependencies to build
an Object Identifier (OID) tree.
- It can export some or all of the imported SNMP objects to Netcool
rules files and other file formats.
- It includes the base MIBs and RFC MIBs most commonly required
by other MIB files.
- It includes device definitions to enable device-centric grouping
of imported MIB modules.
- It can filter and search MIB Modules and the OID tree by object
name or OID.
- It can generate SNMP traps to send to the SNMP Probe (nco_p_mttrapd)
or other SNMP agents.
- It has a command-line interface that you can use to import MIB
data and export rules files. You can issue commands manually or call
them programmatically.
