You can integrate third-party SNMP MIB browsers to a Sensor. Then using the MIB browser, you can directly read data from a Sensor for analysis or just monitoring Sensor performance.
The following are the high-level steps involved in integrating an SNMP MIB browser with a Sensor:
Task
- Because the Sensor uses only SNMPv3 to communicate with a third-party SNMP MIB browser, you need to set up the SNMPv3 user accounts in the Manager. The Manager automatically pushes these details to the Sensor so that the Sensor can authenticate the requests from a MIB browser. You can set up these details per Sensor or configure it at an admin domain level, and inherit it at the Sensor level. See the Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Product Guide for the steps.
- For security reasons, you must configure the IP address of the MIB browser that will query the Sensor. You can configure this per Sensor or configure it at the admin domain level, and inherit it at the Sensor level. See the Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Product Guide for the steps.
-
Configure the SNMPv3 details on your MIB browser.
Information is provided in the next section.
-
Load the Sensor MIBs on your MIB browser.
The Sensor uses proprietary MIB objects. These objects are contained in various files that are available in the Manager server. You can load these files on a MIB browser to view the MIB objects and to understand the hierarchy of the MIB structure in the Sensor. The steps are provided in the subsequent section.
