LOL, gimme thor class hammer!!!

The project i'm working on is a roof of concept SNMP MIB database, that is so fast it can do (near)realtime SNMP data packet to SQL data conversion

Just in case your new to the extensible SNMP MIB tree:

If E-mail addresses were OIDs... user@ordina.org would have been something like: user@ordina.enterprises.private.internet.dod.org.iso

or in non-translated notation: user@99999.1.4.1.6.3.1

except that we write the top-most part at the left: 1.3.6.1.4.1.99999.117.115.101.114

An OID is just a unique key (within one managed device) for one piece of information Ensures vendors don't have conflicting OIDs

OID corresponds to a label .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5 => sysName (in windows this is the servername)

The complete (translated) path: .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysName

The info needed to get from one to an other is "mib (database) files", that are supplied with each new device / software version.

The provided MIB files all have a part of the ginormous jigsaw MIB tree, and that needs to be searched between 500 to 20.000 times a minute.

Fun project indeed 🙂
