MBROWSE

About

Mbrowse is an SNMP MIB browser based on GTK and net-snmp. I have tested the package under Solaris 8,SuSE Linux 8.0, NetBSD 1.6 and HPUX 10.20 (all with gcc), but theoretically it should compile on other platforms. It is released under the GPL.

Requirements

ANSI C Compiler
GTK >= 1.2.10
ucd-snmp or net-snmp

News

2003-03-09 Mbrowse 0.3.1 released. Bugfixes include correct version number and silencing compiler warnings under NetBSD-sparc64. The ability to open arbitrary MIB's was added, but this feature should be considered experimental as I haven't tested it on many versions of ucd/net-snmp.

2003-01-18 Mbrowse 0.3.0 is released. Highlights include: net-snmp 5.x support, some additional features, and many bugfixes. The full changlog can be viewed here. I only had time to test the final build under Solaris 8,NetBSD 1.6, and SuSE Linux 8.0, so buyer beware.

2003-01-06 Finally moved the content and got mail/mailing lists together. Everything seems to work, but drop me a note if you find something broken. Should have a new release soon.

2002-12-31 Switched to a new hosting provider.

2002-11-25 Matt Williams submitted a logo for mbrowse.

FAQ

What versions of SNMP does mbrowse support?

As of version 0.2, SNMPv1 and v2c are supported.

How do I install additional MIB files?

Just drop the files wherever your default net-snmp mib files live. (Usually /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs or /usr/share/snmp/mibs)

Which MIB files does mbrowse load?

All of them.

I installed a new MIB file but it doesn't work.

mbrowse must be restarted after installing MIB files. If that doesn't work, fire up mbrowse from a terminal and examine the output to see if you are missing dependencies.

I pressed "get" but all I got was an error.

A "get" operation requires an instance to work. Try pressing "walk" to get an idea of what instances this variable uses.
