vmwEnvSource
Module: VMWARE-ENV-MIB
OID (symbolic): VMWARE-ENV-MIB::vmwEnvSource
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.4.20.100
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-only
Description: The source being used to obtain hardware state.
What is vmwEnvSource?
Indicates which mechanism the ESX host currently uses to obtain hardware environmental state: unknown, sensors (direct IPMI polling), or indications (CIM alert-driven). An admin checks this to understand whether hardware alerts are coming from active polling or from asynchronous CIM notifications.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.4.20.100 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-ENV-MIB::vmwEnvSource
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.4.20.100.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-ENV-MIB::vmwEnvSource.1
