Configuring SNMP Monitors
MIB Browser – Displays the MIB browser in a separate window.
You can view objects in the MIB browser and optionally
populate the Object ID field on the Advanced tab.
Action – Select an action:
Get – Performs a traditional SNMP get operation. If you select
Get, you must also specify a valid Object ID and append the
instance identifier to it.
Table Get – Searches an SNMP table for numeric data
associated with a particular instance, or row, of the table. If
you select Table Get, you must also specify a valid Object ID
(no instance identifier), Search for String, and column to look
in.
Instance – Performs a traditional SNMP get operation using the
instance, or row, identifier you specify here. For scalar objects,
the instance is always 0. For example, if you want to retrieve
the MIB-2 sysUpTime (.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3) object, there is only one
instance of this object, and scalar SNMP objects require the ―.0‖
instance identifier.
Search for string – Enter the string OneSight will search for in
the OID column that you specify below. This setting applies
only if Table Get is selected in the Action field. A regular
expression can be used. Refer to Using Regular Expressions for
Pattern Matching for more information.
In OID column – Enter the column where OneSight will search
for string you specified above. This setting applies only if Find
Instance is selected.
Scale – Type the multiplier you want applied to the data that’s
collected.
Setting Scale to 1 means the data will be reported as it is. If the
metric measurement is expressed in kilobytes, setting Scale to
1024 will translate it to bytes. If the metric measurement is
