Agent Files

The following sections describe the agent files that are installed on each managed server:

Management Agent for NetWare Files

The following table describes the Management Agent for Novell NetWare NLM^TM files installed on a NetWare server:

Management Agent for NetWare NLM Files	Description
servinst.nlm	Implements the NetWare server MIB (nwserver.mib).
hostmib.nlm	Implements the standard Host Resources MIB [RFC 1514] and Novell^® extensions to that MIB (nwhostx.mib).
ntrend.nlm	Implements the Threshold and Trend MIB (nwtrend.mib). When loaded, ntrend.nlm sets trends and thresholds for each monitored attribute according to the server's configuration. The ntrend.ini file contains configuration parameters for ntrend.nlm.
nwtrap.nlm	Implements the NetWare Server Trap MIB (nwalarm.mib). The nwtrap.cfg file contains configuration parameters for nwtrap.nlm.
findnms.nlm	Used by NetWare servers running the Management Agent for NetWare. Employ findnms.nlm to listen for SNMP Management console advertising themselves using the Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) number 0x026a. findnms.nlm then adds the Internetwork Packet Exchange^TM (IPX^TM) address of each Novell ConsoleOne discovered to the list of stations that receive traps.
ndstrap.nlm	Implements the ndstrap.mib to capture and forward Novell eDirectory events to SNMP Management console.
mondata.nlm	Allows you to monitor NetWare servers.

The following table provides a brief description of the enterprise MIBs associated with the Management Agent for NetWare:

MIB Name	Description
ndstrap.mib	A Novell proprietary MIB designed to capture Novell eDirectory events and forward them to SNMP Management console as SNMP traps. There are more than 130 traps currently in the MIB and new ones are being added as they are identified.
nwalarm.mib	A Novell proprietary MIB that handles all the NetWare Core OS alerts and forwards them as SNMP traps. It currently supports more than 375 traps and new ones are being added as they are identified.
nwhostx.mib	A Novell extension to RFC1514 (the Host Resources MIB). It adds devices and components that are specific to NetWare that were not directly included in RFC1514.
nwserver.mib	A Novell proprietary MIB that is the basis for NetWare Core OS management. More than 300 objects are identified in this MIB. Access to the parameters that can be set from the console for both GET and SET is defined. The MIB has several groups and tables for users, file systems, volumes, queues, Open Data-Link Interface^TM (ODI^TM), set parameters, and so forth.
nwtmsync.mib	A Novell proprietary MIB that allows for SNMP management of timesync.nlm. It provides access to the list of time sources as well as time clients. You may also access the clock structure through this MIB.
nwtrend.mib	A Novell proprietary MIB that keeps track of objects that are most useful when tracked over a period of time. For example, CPU utilization and packets received have limited value as static numbers, but when monitored at regular intervals for a period of time, they tell a great deal about what is happening on a server. This MIB also lets you set user-definable thresholds for the managed objects and will send SNMP traps when a threshold is exceeded.
rfc1514.mib	The Internet Standard Host Resources MIB. It defines general categories about a host machine, including physical components of the system such as disks, memory, CPU, printers, adapter cards, and so forth.

Management Agent for Windows Server Files

Following is a list of files that can be manually configured with a text editor to modify default results of the Management Agent for Windows:

Management Agent for Windows Server .INI Files	Description
n_nttren.ini	Specifies the initial values for the trends and thresholds supported by the Management Agent for Windows.
nttrap.ini	Specifies settings to troubleshoot your Windows server that runs the Management Agent for Windows and settings to enable you to send Windows events to the management system as SNMP traps.
nthost.ini	Specifies the SNMP settings supported by the Management Agent for Windows.
n_ntfmw.ini	Allows you to specify IPX addresses that will be ignored and will not receive SNMP traps.

The following table provides a brief description of the enterprise MIBs associated with the Management Agent for Windows. In addition, the Management Agent for Windows converts all Windows system, security, and application events to SNMP traps.

MIB Name	Description
ntserver.mib	Gives minimal Windows system information like Server Name, OS, major and minor versions, time zone, remote and local volumes count, etc.
rfc1514.mib	The Internet Standard Host Resources MIB. It defines general categories about a host machine, including physical components of the system such as disks, memory, CPU, printers, adapter cards, and so forth.
nttrap.mib	A generic MIB based on RFC1514. Windows events that are converted into traps are forwarded to the Novell ZENworks Server Management network management system.
nttrend.mib	A Novell proprietary MIB that keeps track of objects that are most useful when tracked over a period of time. For example, CPU utilization and packets received have limited value as static numbers, but when monitored at regular intervals for a period of time, they tell a great deal about what is happening on a server. This MIB also lets you set user-definable thresholds for the managed objects and will send SNMP traps when a threshold is exceeded.
