SolarWinds MIB Database

KMSigma.SWI over 10 years ago

This Template will download and extract the contents of the SolarWinds MIB database. It then compares the date/time stamp on the new database to that running on your Orion Server and calculates the age difference. There is no need to download a new MIB database daily, so the default polling frequency should be set at 24 hours (86400 seconds) or higher. You may need to increase the polling timeout depending on your Internet Connection speed. The MIB Database download is over 200 MB, so adjust accordingly.

No Problem. I wrote something like it at a previous job that would do the same thing, but I had to "sanitize" it for general Orion consumption. You will probably need to play with the thresholds and the frequency so that you don't over alert or block up your internet connection by downloading MIB after MIB file. After setting it up, I think that 45 days for a warning and 180 days for a error would probably work nicely. I also didn't really error trap the script too much, so, you may want to tweak it slightly to ignore or error out on negative values.
Did you notice that it "keeps" the newest MIB file in the Windows Temp folder so you can easily copy it from there to the update location? :-)
