MIB-Dell-10900

Description: MIB-Dell-10900 module

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.

MIB-Dell-10900 is a vendor-specific MIB from Dell associated with the Dell OpenManage/IT Assistant software suite, used to carry alert and event notifications generated by IT Assistant's monitoring engine rather than exposing hardware sensor data directly. It exposes objects describing each alert, a message, the originating node, severity, the counter/metric name that triggered it, and the threshold operator, value, and count that were exceeded, plus the task name associated with the alert rule. This MIB is fundamentally about surfacing software-generated fault/threshold notifications about a managed system's hardware and software status (e.g., a disk, temperature, or performance counter crossing a configured threshold), making it a bridge between Dell's systems-management software and SNMP trap receivers. It depends on Dell's IT Assistant / OpenManage monitoring framework as the actual source of the underlying hardware/software metrics being alerted on, rather than reading sensors directly itself. It is typically deployed in Dell PowerEdge server environments where IT Assistant forwards its internal alerts to an NMS via this MIB's trap definitions. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the MIB-Dell-10900 file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

An NMS would receive an itAssistantTrap containing itAlertNode, itAlertSeverity, and itAlertMessage identifying which managed Dell system raised an alert and how severe it is. itAlertCounterName together with itAlertThresholdOperator, itAlertThresholdValue, and itAlertThresholdCount reveal exactly which monitored counter (e.g., a temperature or utilization metric) crossed its configured threshold and by how much. itAlertTaskName ties the alert back to the specific IT Assistant monitoring task/rule that generated it, useful for tuning alert thresholds that fire too often.
