MIBs Supporting These Products
Six MIBs support these products, as follows.
Network Services MIB
The public Network Services MIB (as described in RFC 1565) contains generic variables designed to apply to all types of network service applications. Oracle has implemented those variables of this MIB that are relevant to three of the Oracle services:
- Oracle MultiProtocol Interchange
Specific values for these variables are retrieved from a variety of sources, including configuration files, tables internal to the network service application, and from the master agent itself.
The Listener does not make use of any Network Services MIB variables.
Public RDBMS MIB
The public RDBMS MIB is the proposed standard MIB for relational databases that has been defined by the IETF Working Group. This MIB allows for database discovery, identification of the database, and characterization of database size and activity level.
The public RDBMS MIB includes management variables that are both:
While this MIB makes a clear distinction between the database and its server, at this time the Oracle database subagent only recognizes the standard Oracle configuration of one database to one server. Thus, it does not account for the Oracle Parallel server or gateways.
The information in this MIB is mostly retrieved from dynamic performance tables (V$ tables) and the INIT.ORA configuration file of the Oracle7 Server.
Private Oracle Database MIB
The private Oracle Database MIB contains additional RDBMS statistics that are specific to the Oracle7 architecture. Like the public RDBMS MIB, the private Oracle Database MIB derives most of its information from dynamic performance tables of the database and from the INIT.ORA database configuration file.
The private Oracle Database MIB is platform-independent. Thus, one Oracle7 Server MIB applies, whether supported on MVS or Windows or SCO. This allows a DBA to use one MIB, regardless of the number of platforms being managed.
Other Oracle Private MIBs
In addition to the private database MIB, Oracle has defined private MIBs for the following products:
- Oracle MultiProtocol Interchange
