SNMP OID for serial number of Linux server

[Somnath Shilimk]

Hi All,

We are doing discovery of Linux servers using SNMP.  I am aware that preferred way is SSH, but SSH is not feasible at our place. we have performed discovery using SNMP but serial number is missing.

I am looking for SNMP OID for serial number for linux server. over internet i did search but could not find promising OID for it. 

Please suggest.

Best Regards,

Somnath.

The entity MIB should be all you need. However, more importantly, I hope you understand what a daunting task you have taken on in doing this in probes and sensors..good luck.

Hi Doug,

Yes it is daunting task, we did discover RAM, OS and OS Verison using SNMP ODIs in custom probes and sensors using MIBs.

Regarding entity MIB, I did uploaded it and testes below OIDs out there using custom probe. none of them worked.

2) iso.identified-organization.dod.internet.mgmt.mib.entityMIB.entityMIBObjects.entityPhysical.entPhysicalTable.entPhysicalEntry.entPhysicalSerialNum

3) iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.entityMIB.entityMIBObjects.entityPhysical.entPhysicalTable.entPhysicalEntry.entPhysicalSerialNum

4) iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib.entityMIB.entityMIBObjects.entityPhysical.entPhysicalTable.entPhysicalEntry.entPhysicalSerialNum

5) iso.iso-identified-organization.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.entityMIB.entityMIBObjects.entityPhysical.entPhysicalTable.entPhysicalEntry.entPhysicalSerialNum
