How to find useful MIBs for Cisco Devices?

[S891]

Hi,

I am setting up a new Monitoring System (CA Netvoyant). It has some default Cisco monitoring capabilities ( I believe these are soem standard MIBs).  I am wondering how can I add more useful Cisco MIBs for the devices I have in my network. There are thousands of MIBs and it looks like it is not easy at all to find the useful ones.

For example the MIBs that can give you Emergency and up to warning level information, cpu, memory, interface errors, module failures (in case of Cat 6500), FWSM, BGP, VPN tunnel status notifications. Is there a list of useful MIBs for each device type, like Cat 6500, ASA5540, Cat 3750-E etc depending on IOS Image?

Any help in setting up the SNMP monitoring system would be really helpful.

Thanks

If there is a MIB for it, most SNMP Capable Management servers can poll them.

This can be such as FHRP states, Routing Peers, ASA Failover status, Seriel numbers for inventory purposes.

The potential is almost endless, it just depends what you should monitor to ensure you are in the know when your network hiccups.

Here is a link to the IOS MIB Viewre
