uploading SNMP MIB files - discovery_snmp_mib vs. ecc_agent_mib?

[haldroid]

I'm trying to teach discovery about our HP Blade Chassis units. There are two modules where you can upload MIBs to ServiceNow and they point to different tables:

1. Discovery Definition > SNMP MIBs points to Discovery SNMP MIB [discovery_snmp_mib]
2. MID Server > SNMP MIBs points to MID Server MIB File [ecc_agent_mib]

What are the rules for when a MIB file should be uploaded to either of these? Thank you.

Hal,

for Discovery you want to use the MidServer app location to load them.. they have found a new home so to speak due to Run Book Automation

Eventually you wont see the Discovery Definition 'option' as time goes by..

Hey Doug,

Can you advise me on how to discover HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosures. I keep getting the error

Unsupported shell, '$0', and probe parameter 'allow_unsupported_shells' is set to 'false'. Supported shells are [tcsh, csh, ksh, sh, bash]

Thanks,

Dop

Hi Doug,

Just watched your video on setting up classifiers on YouTube. Nice job! I'm not quite seeing how the MIBs fit into the overall picture. If I can setup an SNMP classifier, what does loading the MIB do from a discovery standpoint?
