Description: Defines VMware vRealize Network Insight SNMP agent capabilities and supported monitoring groups.
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 VMWARE-VRNI-AGENTCAP-MIB?
VMWARE-VRNI-AGENTCAP-MIB is an AGENT-CAPABILITIES module for VMware's vRealize Network Insight (vRNI) product, a network analytics and troubleshooting platform for virtualized and SDN environments. Rather than defining monitorable data itself, it declares which object groups and MIB features a given release of the vRNI SNMP agent implements, for compatibility negotiation with management stations. It exposes no counters, tables, or fault objects related to hardware or software status; its sole purpose is agent-capability declaration for vRNI v3.8 and later releases. As an AGENT-CAPABILITIES module it inherently depends on the underlying vRNI functional MIB(s) whose object groups it references. It is used internally by SNMP management platforms to determine feature support before polling a vRNI agent, rather than being polled for operational monitoring, with the VMWARE-VRNI-AGENTCAP-MIB MIB serving purely as that capability-negotiation reference.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in VMWARE-VRNI-AGENTCAP-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
- VMware vRealize Network Insight (vRNI) platform
Monitoring Examples
This is a conformance/AGENT-CAPABILITIES module containing only the vmwVRNICapability declaration and no runtime data tables or scalars, so there is no monitoring scenario to describe. It would only be consulted by an SNMP manager to confirm which object groups a particular vRNI agent version supports before attempting to poll the corresponding functional MIB.
