Management Information Bases (MIBs)

Click to view or download a static copy of the TrueNAS 24.10 (Electric Eel) MIB file.

To download an MIB from your TrueNAS system, you can enable SSH and use a file transfer command like scp. When using SSH, make sure to validate the user logging in has SSH login permissions enabled and the SSH service is active and using a known port (22 is default). Management Information Base (MIB) files are located in /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/.

Example (replace mytruenas.example.com with your system IP address or hostname):
