mib Probes

The mib provider makes available probes for counters from several MIBs. The protocols that export MIBs instrumented by the mib provider are listed in Table 11-11. The table includes a reference to documentation that specifies some or all of the MIB, the name of the kernel statistic that may be used to access the running counts using the kstat2 -g uri and a reference to the table that has a complete definition of the probes. All MIB counters are also available using the -s option to netstat.
