What Is COMPAQ-ID-REC-MIB?
COMPAQ-ID-REC-MIB is a Compaq (now HP/HPE) vendor-specific module providing identification and inventory "ID record" data for Compaq-branded servers and network/management hardware, part of Compaq's broader Insight Manager-era instrumentation family. It is expected to expose per-component identification records—model name, serial number, part number, and hardware revision—used to build an inventory profile of a managed system. Its role in monitoring is primarily asset/inventory-status rather than performance: it helps confirm exactly which hardware component is installed and its identity, useful context when correlating hardware faults reported by other Compaq health MIBs. It likely depends on or complements Compaq's broader server-health MIB suite that reports actual operational status such as temperature or power. It was typically deployed on Compaq ProLiant servers and Compaq networking hardware managed through Compaq/HP Insight Manager or SNMP-based asset-management tools. Asset-management tools that support legacy Compaq equipment typically reference the COMPAQ-ID-REC-MIB OID branch directly to pull these identification records into a centralized inventory database.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in COMPAQ-ID-REC-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.
What Can Be Monitored
- hardware component identification (model/serial/part number)
- hardware revision
- inventory record status
Supported Devices
- Compaq ProLiant server
- Compaq/HP networking hardware
Monitoring Examples
Without a supplied object list, the general expectation is that an inventory tool would poll an identification-record table for fields such as serial number, part number, and hardware revision to build an asset inventory of the managed Compaq system. A mismatch between the recorded part number and an expected baseline could flag an unauthorized or incorrect component swap. Because no concrete object names were provided for this module, a more specific polling example cannot be responsibly constructed.

FAQ
What role does COMPAQ-ID-REC-MIB play when auditing a fleet of Compaq ProLiant servers?
It supplies per-component identification records -- model name, serial number, part number, and hardware revision -- that let you build an accurate inventory profile of what's actually installed in each system, rather than performance or environmental data.
Why would you consult COMPAQ-ID-REC-MIB alongside Compaq's other health-monitoring MIBs when a hardware fault alert comes in?
COMPAQ-ID-REC-MIB confirms exactly which component (by serial and part number) is reporting the fault, giving you the identity context needed to order a replacement or check warranty status, while the operational status itself (e.g. temperature, power) comes from Compaq's broader server-health MIB suite.
