Description: Manages Compaq/HP ProLiant SNMP agent configuration and capability reporting objects.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is COMPAQ-AGENT-MIB?

COMPAQ-AGENT-MIB is a legacy Compaq (later HP ProLiant) SNMP agent module that reports on the SNMP agent's own configuration and capability, specifically which network management protocols the agent supports. Rather than exposing server hardware sensors directly, it acts as a meta-management layer describing the agent implementation itself, which is typically paired with Compaq Insight Manager agent MIBs for actual hardware/software telemetry. Its monitoring relevance is indirect: confirming the supported protocol set helps a management station determine which polling method (e.g., SNMPv1 vs v2c) to use before querying the richer hardware-status MIBs, effectively gating access to CPU, temperature, fan, and power-supply data exposed elsewhere in the Compaq/HP agent MIB family. It depends implicitly on the broader Compaq/Compaq Insight Manager MIB suite that provides the actual hardware sensor objects this agent module fronts. It is deployed on legacy Compaq/HP ProLiant servers running the Compaq/Insight Management SNMP agent. Engineers can download the COMPAQ-AGENT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in COMPAQ-AGENT-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • Compaq/HP ProLiant servers

Monitoring Examples

With no sample_objects listed, the only documented object relates to which network management protocol(s) the agent supports; this MIB itself provides agent-capability metadata rather than a pollable hardware/performance monitoring scenario.
