# Import MIBs for monitoring third-party devices

You can import third-party MIBs (management information bases) to support third-party SNMP monitoring.

## Before you begin

You must have a MIB file for the device from the device vendor.

##

The OIDs (object identifiers) allow resolving the SNMP traps when they appear in log entries. If the OIDs are not resolved, they appear in the logs using a more difficult to read dotted notation. Only SNMPv1 Trap Reception is supported.
