SNMP support on Linux systems is not usually very good. You can use the SNMP SIM Generator facility, to do a MIB walk on the Linux system to establish the available SNMP support. WMI and SNMP are used by the asset inventory to show what software is installed on a platform, so the ability to see what software is installed on a Linux server for example, is very much subject to its SNMP Support. The SNMP agent has to be enabled and the agent needs to support the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB hrSWInstalledTable.
