Description: Manages SMS agent configuration and message delivery status for SNMP-triggered SMS alert notifications.

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 SMSAGENT-MIB?

This is a proprietary MIB for an SMS notification agent, likely embedded in a server or system management controller, used to trigger SMS text-message alerts based on SNMP-detected events and to expose agent/system identification data. It combines agent software versioning (cfgAgentVersion, cfgAgentRevision, cfgAgentMIBVersion/Revision) with low-level system BIOS and hardware inventory details (BIOS vendor/version/date, ROM size, bus support, CPU count). Its monitoring value spans both software status — confirming the SMS agent and its MIB are running the expected version/revision — and hardware/firmware inventory, such as BIOS version and CPU count, which helps verify the underlying platform configuration when troubleshooting alert delivery or planning firmware updates. It appears to be a self-contained proprietary MIB without an explicit dependency on external standard MIBs. It is deployed on server or system-management hardware where SNMP traps are used to drive SMS alert notifications to administrators. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the SMSAGENT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in SMSAGENT-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

  • server/system management controller with SMS alerting agent

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll cfgAgentVersion and cfgAgentMIBVersion to confirm the SMS agent software is at the expected release before relying on it for alert delivery, and check cfgAgentBIOSVersion and cfgAgentnCPUs to verify the underlying hardware/firmware inventory matches expectations. A mismatch in cfgAgentBIOSDate or an unexpectedly low cfgAgentnCPUs value could indicate a hardware change or a system that was never correctly re-provisioned after maintenance.

What Can Be Monitored

  • SMS agent software version/revision
  • agent MIB version
  • BIOS vendor and version
  • BIOS date and ROM size
  • CPU count
