Dear Expert

Currently we monitoring many parameters via Numeric OID : 1.3.6.1.4.1.x.x.x.x with our house made perl/php/bash scripts.

However looks its very difficult, can you please provide maximum document, PDF, URL , Youtube links to use MIB files with NagiosXI........how to use and make our life easy?

You please consider our zero knowledge in this (not using any single MIB file).

Regards

Hello!

If you have the MIB files for your devices (usually available from the website of the device's maker), you can upload them into Nagios XI, and it will let you use human-readable names for the events and conditions you're getting from SNMP. You may not even need to add any--XI comes with a good set of MIBs already.

Installing MIBsIf the remote device you are sending traps from has a MIB file, you can upload this MIB file to configure snmptt on the Nagios XI server to understand these incoming traps. This can be done via Admin > System Extensions > Manage MIBs.Click the Browse button to find the MIB to be added. Check the box Process trap and then click the Upload MIB button.This will find any trap definitions in the MIB file and add them to the /etc/snmp/snmptt.conf file, they will be added as an EVENT to this file.

Here is the full doc:
