NMIS is a complete management system which collects fault, performance and basic inventory/configuration data from routers, switches, servers, firewalls, facilities (UPS, AC/CRACK, Sensors), and anything which has an SNMP agent. NMIS is highly extensible, using device models to define what is collected from devices, and how events are handled. NMIS is able to monitor devices via SNMP1/2/3, WMI, API, & SSH, some may require plugin support for monitoring
In summary, NMIS supports any device which supports SNMP with "Default" models, this is called standard support, this includes Default models for SNMPv1 only devices and newer SNMP agents which support the High Capacity agent. Standard support includes performance and fault collection and alerting of interface statistics and IP packet activity. Device support NMIS has been extended for various vendors and products, this includes performance and fault collection, alerting and thresholding on additional information like CPU, memory, disk, services, storage, sessions, packets, temperature, and many other things.

- Extended device support can be added to NMIS without coding by using the modelling system to tell NMIS what a device is and what MIBS need to be collected and stored.

Standard Support Options
SNMP is the simple network management protocol, and the protocol itself is very simple, a little more complex is the MIB's Management Information Base, these are defined in ASN.1 and include all sorts of rich functionalities required when dealing with large data structures which are available through SNMP.
