It's a static description of the structure used to report a given collection of data. Changes to this structure should be few and far between - otherwise any applications developed to work with that structure would need to be reworked. > how mibs interacts with the hardware of the device being monitored. That's the job of the MIB-specific code within the agent. (e.g. the perl extension mechanism you mention above). Or else a C-code handler nodule to interface between the agent and the underlying subsystem (software application, hardware, kernel statistics, etc). Developing this is actually the bulk of the work required to add support for a new MIB module. Writing the MIB file itself is the easy part!
