VMWARE-VMINFO-MIB
AI MIB Summary
The VMWARE-VMINFO-MIB enables SNMP-based polling and event notification for VMware ESXi host inventory and virtual machine state transitions, mapping specific managed objects to VMware VIM API properties. This module facilitates the collection of critical VM metrics including power status, resource allocation, and host association data for centralized infrastructure monitoring.
This MIB module provides for monitoring of inventory and state via polling and notifications of state changes for virtual machines residing on this host system. This MIB module also provides a mapping beween SMI managed objects defined here and their corresponding VMware Virtual Infrastructure Management (VIM) API properties.
