snmp_hostres(3)

NAME

snmp_hostres - host resources module for snmpd.

LIBRARY

(begemotSnmpdModulePath."hostres" = /usr/lib/sn
mp_hostres.so)

DESCRIPTION

The snmp_hostres module implements the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB as
standardized
in RFC 2790.

RESTRICTIONS

Not all information in the MIB is meaningful in FreeBSD or
is available.
The following variables are not implemented or carry no in
formation:
hrFSType There are several types of file systems for which
no appropri
ate OID exists yet which are supported by FreeB
SD. For smbfs,
procfs and devfs hrFSOther is returned. In all
other cases
hrFSUnknown.
hrFSBootable
It is questionable what bootable means here.
Does it mean
that the BIOS is available to start a boot on
that file system
or does it mean that there is something bootable?
In either
case this information isn't available so this
variable returns
True for the root file system (which is not nec
essarily correct) and False for all others.
hrFSLastFullBackupDate
hrFSLastPartialBackupDate
This is not available and always returns an empty
string.
Theoretically this could be retrieved from
/etc/dumpdates,
which would hardly be correct given the different
ways of
doing backups.
hrDiskStorageTable
Floppy devices are currently not reported. Also
the names of
the disks are hard-coded in the module.
