Description: Manages Sun Management Center ad hoc diagnostic tools, execution control, and results collection.
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 TOOLS-ADHOCS-MIB2?
TOOLS-ADHOCS-MIB2 is a Sun Microsystems proprietary module associated with Sun Management Center, used to manage ad hoc diagnostic tools that can be run against monitored systems and to collect their execution results. It exposes objects describing administrative users, tool ownership, module groupings, and the ad hoc tools/applications registered for local execution (reflected in names like admins, users, owner, modules, localApplication, tools). Its monitoring emphasis is on software/process status: tracking which diagnostic tools are available, who owns or can invoke them, and the outcome of ad hoc executions, functioning as a lightweight job/task execution and result-reporting mechanism rather than hardware sensor telemetry. As part of the Sun Management Center suite it likely depends on other Sun Management Center MIB modules for the broader monitoring framework and alert/notification handling. It is deployed in Solaris/Sun server environments where administrators needed to run and track ad hoc diagnostic or troubleshooting tools via a centralized management console. Engineers can download the TOOLS-ADHOCS-MIB2 file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in TOOLS-ADHOCS-MIB2. 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
- Sun Microsystems server running Sun Management Center
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would poll the tools table to enumerate registered localApplication entries available for ad hoc execution and check owner/admins entries to confirm which accounts are authorized to invoke them. If an expected diagnostic tool is missing from the tools listing after a Sun Management Center agent restart, that would indicate the tool registration failed to reload, requiring re-registration before it can be run against the managed host again.
What Can Be Monitored
- registered ad hoc diagnostic tools
- tool ownership and admin/user assignments
- module grouping of tools
- local application registration status
