Description: Monitors HP NetServer Agent software subsystem component inventory and version information on HP ProLiant servers.
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 HPNSASOFTWARESUBSYSTEM-MIB?
HPNSASOFTWARESUBSYSTEM-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from Hewlett-Packard for the NetServer Agent (NSA) software subsystem, part of HP's server management agent stack for HP NetServer/ProLiant systems. It is designed to expose inventory and version information for the individual software components/subsystems that make up the HP management agent running on the server. Its principal monitoring value is tracking software status rather than physical hardware: it lets an administrator verify which management agent subsystem components are installed and their version, which is important for confirming agent health and compatibility, and for diagnosing missing or outdated components that could affect other hardware-monitoring MIBs that depend on the agent being fully functional. It is part of the broader HP NetServer/Insight Manager MIB family and implicitly depends on that management agent framework being installed and running. It is deployed on HP NetServer and early ProLiant servers running HP's server management agent software in enterprise data center environments, where administrators load the HPNSASOFTWARESUBSYSTEM-MIB MIB Browser view to confirm installed component versions.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPNSASOFTWARESUBSYSTEM-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
- HP NetServer / early ProLiant server
Monitoring Examples
No sample objects were provided for this MIB in this batch, so a concrete object-level polling scenario cannot be given with certainty; based on the module's stated purpose, an administrator would poll the software subsystem inventory/version table to confirm all expected HP management agent components are present and at a supported version. A missing or downlevel subsystem entry would indicate an incomplete or outdated agent installation, which could cause other hardware health data (e.g., temperature, fan, or power supply status reported by companion HP MIBs) to be unavailable or unreliable.
What Can Be Monitored
- installed software subsystem inventory
- software subsystem version
- management agent component status
