When I query a couple of boxes in my environment using the SNMP Monitor Wizard for the OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.232 (one that I'm trying to work on now is a DL360 G5), ipMonitor returns:
No SNMP Objects where retrieved from "172.16.10.21" to collect SNMP Objects under "1.3.6.1.4.1.232" using community "public". Reason: Could not retrieve any results from 172.16.10.21 for OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.
Most SNMP Devices will not return any packets if the community provided is incorrect. Additionally, some SNMP Devices may be configured to respond only to a set of Authorized IP Addresses. If needed, the IP Address of the ipMonitor host machine will have to be added to that list.
Querying the same box at 1.3.6.1.4.1 returns a bunch of information, but I cannot dig into the 232 hive to get into specific components of this system. It's almost as if the 232 hive and sub-items is not registered on this box. I am certain it is an HP DL360 G5.
Specifically, as it may help, I'm looking to trap SMART Disk information, so when a hard drive reports something other than OK (which I think is a value of 0 or 1, it's been a while), I can be alerted, and can process a warranty claim to get the drive replaced before the system fails. Since each system has multiple drives, the specific OID of each drive needs to be listened for, but I need to scope this Listener down the the "drives" level, rather than listening to the entire system.
For starters, I'd even be happy to setup specific SNMP Trap Monitors for the individual drives on a system, just to see the data and how it works, although I realize in the long run this isn't practical, as I probably have 200 drives in my environment, and if I replace one, the OID is likely to change.
Thanks for the ipMonitor site link, I had been looking for that and couldn't find it since they have been pushing themselves as Solarwinds.
Also, the link you gave to the HP site - I had found one that had 8.25 MIBs. It seems to be dependent on SIM being installed, which on this system (and on most of my systems) it is not. Without SIM installed, I don't think I can do anything with the MIB update files. I have sent them to Solarwinds support, in hopes that they can craft something I can import into the ipMonitor config, but I still don't think that'll solve things, if the server doesn't appear to be reporting on the 232 OID.

Here you go: http://support.ipmonitor.c
A very cool reference tree.
You can get the MIBs from HP (that's the whole point about the private/enterprise branches). I found this: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/
The likely reason you're getting some results for some OIDs and not others (assuming the same equipment) is likely to be because you've not got one (or more) of the management agents or pieces of software installed.
When you say you can't find something for newer devices, what do you mean? If it's in the "standard" branches (like MIB-II or ifTable) those have been that way (except for the "fairly recent" HC inclusion for gigabit ethernet) for well over ten years and are likely to stay that way. The only thing I can guess that you're talking about is in the enterprise or private branches. What specifically are you looking for?
Hope this helps.
