The database controlled by a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent is known as SNMP Management Information Base (MIB). The values contained in an SNMP MIB can be shared with another application’s SNMP MIB.
Microsoft® SQL Server™ Management Information Base (MSSQL -MIB), stored in the Mssql.mib file, and the SQL Server SNMP extension agent (Sqlsnmp.dll) are copied to the system by SQL Server Setup and are enabled if SNMP is running at the time of installation. SNMP can be activated or deactivated at any time by selecting the Enable SNMP check box in the SQL Server Network Utility window.
For more information about SNMP, see your SNMP application documentation.
