NAME

snmp_hostres – host resources module for bsnmpd(8)

CONTENTS

LIBRARY

(begemotSnmpdModulePath."hostres" = /usr/lib/snmp_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 information:
hrFSType
  There are several types of file systems for which no appropriate OID exists yet which are supported by FreeBSD . 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 is not available so this variable returns True for the root file system (which is not necessarily 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.

Ken Thompson has an automobile which he helped design. Unlike most automobiles, it has neither speedometer, nor gas gauge, nor any of the other numerous idiot lights which plague the modern driver. Rather, if the driver makes a mistake, a giant “?” lights up in the center of the dashboard. “The experienced driver,” says Thompson, “will usually know what's wrong.”
