Description: Quanta Computer inventory MIB providing SNMP objects for hardware component identification, serial numbers, and asset tracking.

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 INVENTORY-MIB?

INVENTORY-MIB is a Quanta Computer MIB intended, per its module description, to let a switch report information and status about its units, slots, and supported cards — that is, a hardware inventory model for modular/stackable switching equipment. The available sample objects for this module consist solely of its conformance section (inventoryConformance, inventoryCompliances, inventoryGroups), rather than the actual unit/slot/card data tables the description refers to, so the concrete object and table names for that runtime data cannot be confirmed here. Based on its stated purpose, such a module would be used to monitor the hardware status of a chassis — which units/slots are populated, what card type occupies each slot, and whether each component is present and healthy — though this can't be verified from the conformance objects alone. It likely depends on the ENTITY-MIB's physical-entity model for representing units/slots/cards, given the conformance-group structure typical of SMIv2 modules built that way, though this cannot be confirmed from the provided material. It would be deployed on Quanta Computer's modular/stackable switch platforms in data center environments needing chassis-level hardware inventory visibility, an area where INVENTORY-MIB SNMP monitoring would typically be applied.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in INVENTORY-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.

Monitoring Examples

The sample objects available for this module are limited to its conformance section (inventoryConformance, inventoryCompliances, inventoryGroups), so no concrete table-level polling scenario can be honestly constructed from them; based on the module description, an operator would expect to poll per-unit/slot/card presence and status tables to track hardware inventory, but those specific table and column names are not present in the available sample.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using agentInventoryStackPortDataRate OID:

Select a Quanta Computer modular/stackable network switch (chassis inventory) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type agentInventoryStackPortDataRate into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports the approximate data rate on the stacking port. Measured in Gb/s. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
