MIB Importer is a free software tool for existing Paessler customers that seamlessly converts proprietary network device Management Information Base (MIB) data into a format that is compatible with Paessler's PRTG Traffic Grapher and IPCheck Server Monitor applications. The software developed by Paessler enables administrators to quickly and easily configure SNMP sensors for gathering critical network diagnostic information. By providing a hassle-free solution to monitoring, Paessler allows network administrators more time to focus on strategic initiatives.

    The new MIB Importer automatically converts SNMPv1, SNMP v2, and SNMP v3 MIB files into Paessler's XML-based OID Library format, giving information to be fed into PRTG Traffic Grapher and IPCheck Server Monitor, Paessler's bandwidth monitoring and availability monitoring solution, respectively. Administrators can then choose sensors with only a mouse click from the created OID Libraries. Many network devices and servers come with proprietary MIB files that describe the parameters and readings which are ready for monitoring via SNMP. Each vendor implements device OIDs/MIBs differently, resulting in a complex set of disparate protocols that are incompatible.

    Dirk Paessler, founder and CEO, stated: "The MIB Importer aims to solve MIB-SNMP incompatibility issues that are common in today's heterogeneous infrastructure. We hope we can ease this administrative headache and let our customers focus on what's important: improving network performance, finding and solving network problems, and planning for network growth."
