RFC 1514
Host Resources MIB
RFC 1514: Host Resources MIB 💻✨
Okay bestie, this is RFC 1514, and it's a Standards Track spec from September 1993 🎀
Here's the title block: it's from the Network Working Group and it's numbered RFC 1514. The authors are P. Grillo (Network Innovations, Intel Corporation) and S. Waldbusser (Carnegie Mellon University). It's a Standards Track document, dated September 1993. The title block doesn't list anything this RFC obsoletes or updates 🌸
Status of this Memo 📋
This one is a full Internet standards track protocol 👑 It wants discussion and suggestions for improvements, so feedback is welcome 💜 For the current standardization state, go check the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" doc, since that's the source of truth 🔥
Distribution of this memo is unlimited, so share it with everyone 🌈
Abstract 🦋
Okay so this memo defines a MIB, which is a Management Information Base, for managing host systems 💖 A "host" here means any computer that talks to other similar computers on the internet and is directly used by one or more humans. That's the main character 💅
It's not required to apply to stuff whose main job is communications, like terminal servers, routers, bridges, or monitoring gear 🙈 But it also doesn't rule them out, so they could still be relevant. The MIB covers attributes shared by all internet hosts, like personal computers and systems running Unix variants 💻

The Internet-standard Network Management Framework is made of three components, and they all work together 💅 The first piece is the SMI, the rules for describing and naming objects so we can manage them:
- STD 16, RFC 1155 [1] defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing and naming objects for the purpose of management.
- STD 16, RFC 1212 [2] is a more concise description mechanism, and it's wholly consistent with the SMI 🦋
- STD 17, RFC 1213 [3] defines MIB-II, the core set of managed objects for the Internet suite of protocols 💖
- STD 15, RFC 1157 [4] defines the SNMP, the protocol used for network access to managed objects 🔥
The Framework also lets people define new objects for experimentation and evaluation, which is so cute 🌸
Managed objects live in a virtual information store called the Management Information Base, or MIB 🧚 Inside a MIB module, objects get defined with the OBJECT-TYPE macro from STD 16, RFC 1212 [2]. Every object has at least four things: a name, a syntax, an access-level, and an implementation-status ✨
The name is an object identifier, which is an administratively assigned name for an object type. The object type plus an object instance together uniquely identify one specific instance of the object. For human convenience, we also use a textual string called the object descriptor to refer to the object type 🎀
The syntax defines the abstract data structure for an object type, and it's written in ASN.1[5] 💜 RFC 1155 intentionally limits which ASN.1 constructs you can use, and that's on purpose, because it keeps things simple 🙈
The access-level says whether it makes "protocol sense" to read and/or write an instance's value. This is independent of any administrative authorization policy, so don't mix them up 💀
The implementation-status says whether an object is mandatory, optional, obsolete, or deprecated 🍓
2. Host Resources MIB 💻
The Host Resources MIB gives you a uniform set of objects for managing host computers 🌈 Hosts don't depend on the operating system, the network services, or any software application, so this MIB is totally independent of all that 👑
It defines objects that are common across lots of different computer system architectures, which is exactly the vibe we want ✨
There are also objects in MIB-II [3] that do host management stuff too. Implementation of the System and Interfaces groups is mandatory for anyone implementing the Host Resources MIB 🫶
3. Definitions 🎀
Here's the big MIB module. Let's start with the imports and the OID tree 🌸
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN
IMPORTS
OBJECT-TYPE FROM RFC-1212
DisplayString FROM RFC1213-MIB
TimeTicks,
Counter, Gauge FROM RFC1155-SMI;
host OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mib-2 25 }
hrSystem OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { host 1 }
hrStorage OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { host 2 }
hrDevice OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { host 3 }
hrSWRun OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { host 4 }
hrSWRunPerf OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { host 5 }
hrSWInstalled OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { host 6 }4.1. Textual Conventions 🧁
Textual conventions are the reusable data types that the rest of the module builds on. Here they are, bestie 💖
-- textual conventions
-- a truth value
Boolean ::= INTEGER { true(1), false(2) }
-- memory size, expressed in units of 1024bytes
KBytes ::= INTEGER (0..2147483647)
-- This textual convention is intended to identify the manufacturer,
-- model, and version of a specific hardware or software product.
-- It is suggested that these OBJECT IDENTIFIERs are allocated such
-- that all products from a particular manufacturer are registered
-- under a subtree distinct to that manufacturer. In addition, all
-- versions of a product should be registered under a subtree
-- distinct to that product. With this strategy, a management
-- station may uniquely determine the manufacturer and/or model of a
-- product whose productID is unknown to the management station.
-- Objects of this type may be useful for inventory purposes or for
-- automatically detecting incompatibilities or version mismatches
-- between various hardware and software components on a system.
ProductID ::= OBJECT IDENTIFIER
-- unknownProduct will be used for any unknown ProductID
-- unknownProduct OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 0 0 }
-- For example, the product ID for the ACME 4860 66MHz clock doubled
-- processor might be:
-- enterprises.acme.acmeProcessors.a4860DX2.MHz66
-- A software product might be registered as:
-- enterprises.acme.acmeOperatingSystems.acmeDOS.six(6).one(1)
DateAndTime ::= OCTET STRING (SIZE (8 | 11))
-- A date-time specification for the local time of day.
-- This data type is intended to provide a consistent
-- method of reporting date information.
--
-- field octets contents range
-- _____ ______ ________ _____
-- 1 1-2 year 0..65536
-- (in network byte order)
-- 2 3 month 1..12
-- 3 4 day 1..31
-- 4 5 hour 0..23
-- 5 6 minutes 0..59
-- 6 7 seconds 0..60
-- (use 60 for leap-second)
-- 7 8 deci-seconds 0..9
-- 8 9 direction from UTC "+" / "-"
-- (in ascii notation)
-- 9 10 hours from UTC 0..11
-- 10 11 minutes from UTC 0..59
--
-- Note that if only local time is known, then
-- timezone information (fields 8-10) is not present.
InternationalDisplayString ::= OCTET STRING
-- This data type is used to model textual information in some
-- character set. A network management station should use a local
-- algorithm to determine which character set is in use and how it
-- should be displayed. Note that this character set may be encoded
-- with more than one octet per symbol, but will most often be NVT
-- ASCII.4.2. The Host Resources System Group 🖥️

ACCESS not-accessible
STATUS mandatory
DESCRIPTION
"The (conceptual) table of logical storage areas on
the host.
An entry shall be placed in the storage table for
each logical area of storage that is allocated and
has fixed resource limits. The amount of storage
represented in an entity is the amount actually
usable by the requesting entity, and excludes loss
due to formatting or file system reference
information.
These entries are associated with logical storage
areas, as might be seen by an application, rather
than physical storage entities which are typically
seen by an operating system. Storage such as tapes
and floppies without file systems on them are
typically not allocated in chunks by the operating
system to requesting applications, and therefore
shouldn't appear in this table. Examples of valid
storage for this table include disk partitions,
file systems, ram (for some architectures this is
further segmented into regular memory, extended
memory, and so on), backing store for virtual
memory (`swap space').
This table is intended to be a useful diagnostic
for `out of memory' and `out of buffers' types of
failures. In addition, it can be a useful
performance monitoring tool for tracking memory,
disk, or buffer usage."

indicates that agent has been informed of an
unusual error condition by the operational software
(e.g., a disk device driver) but that the device is
still 'operational'. An example would be high
number of soft errors on a disk. A value of

If multiple conditions are currently detected and
the hrDeviceStatus would not otherwise be
unknown(1) or testing(4), the hrDeviceStatus shall
correspond to the worst state of those indicated,
where down(5) is worse than warning(3) which is
worse than running(2).
Bits are numbered starting with the most
significant bit of the first byte being bit 0, the
least significant bit of the first byte being bit
7, the most significant bit of the second byte
being bit 8, and so on. A one bit encodes that
the condition was detected, while a zero bit
encodes that the condition was not detected.
This object is useful for alerting an operator to
specific warning or error conditions that may
occur, especially those requiring human
intervention."

Now we're entering the Running Software Group 🌸 this whole group is optional to implement, so keep that in mind 🍓
-- The Host Resources Running Software Group
--
-- Implementation of this group is optional.
--
-- The hrSWRunTable contains an entry for each distinct piece of
-- software that is running or loaded into physical or virtual
-- memory in preparation for running. This includes the host's

DESCRIPTION
"A (conceptual) entry for one piece of software

software stored locally on this host, not every
piece of running software will be found in the
installed software table. This is true of software

}🧚 so the running software table is basically the guest list of everything currently running or loaded for running, including the OS, drivers, and apps, and hrSWOSIndex just points you straight at the main OS 👑 and yes, software that's loaded from a network-mounted file system won't show up in the installed software table, which is a very real plot twist 😭
Okay bestie, the MIB definitions are still going, so let's pick up right where we left off with the running software table 💅✨
hrSWRunIndex OBJECT-TYPE

--
-- Implementation of this group is optional.
--
-- The hrSWInstalledTable contains an entry for each piece

hrSWInstalledLastChange OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX TimeTicks
ACCESS read-only
STATUS mandatory
DESCRIPTION
"The value of sysUpTime when an entry in the
