QRadar: Where do you find QRadar MiBs to customize SNMP monitoring?

Troubleshooting


Problem

For administrators who have MIB programmer resources and would like to better monitor QRadar system health beyond Internal monitoring. Here is where you would find the MIB's to do that.

Note: IBM does not create or maintain these MIB files for Lenovo appliances. 

Cause

Enhanced monitoring of QRadar appliance health.

Environment

The references and links being provided are for:
  • ThinkSystem SR650 v2 Type 7Z73
  • ThinkSystem SR630 v2 Type 7Z71
  • ThinkSystem SR650 Type 7X06
  • ThinkSystem SR630 Type 7X02
  • System x3650 M5 Type 8871
  • System x3550 M5 Type 8869
If your Model or Type is different than what is listed, look for it on the Lenovo downloads page for your system.
Note: This article is for Lenovo hardware. This article would not apply if you are using a virtual machine, Hypervisor, or your own hardware that is not Lenovo.
 

Resolving The Problem

To get the MIB files, you need to locate and download the latest .uxz firmware update file for M5's and the IMM. For the M6 or M7, you need to locate the XCC firmware, where you can download the MIB files directly from Lenovo's download page.
 

Lenovo Integrated Management Module (IMM)

If you are using System x3650 M5, for example, you can download the IMM firmware from the Lenovo downloads site, which contains the MIB files.

System x3650 M5 Drivers & Software

The downloaded file has the extension .uxz. To decompress it, you require a decompression utility to access the MIB files.

Use both MIB files.
imm.mib
immalert.mib

Note: Refer to the user guide to install the MIB files.

Lenovo XClarity (XCC)

If you are using a ThinkSystem SR650 type 7X06, for example, you can download the MIB files directly from the Lenovo downloads site. Search for the machine type to find the Lenovo XClarity Controller (XCC) downloads to find the MIB files. 

This section is for:

  • ThinkSystem SR650 v2 Type 7Z73
  • ThinkSystem SR630 v2 Type 7Z71
  • ThinkSystem SR650 Type 7X06
  • ThinkSystem SR630 Type 7X02
  1. Go to datacentersupport.lenovo.com.
  2. In the search bar, type in the Lenovo server model name, and then click Downloads under the correct server and Type in the automatic search results.
    Note: In this example, Type 7X06 was selected for Downloads. You can use either the Model or Type in the search bar.
