Symptoms

How to generate the list of the OIDs used to Discover and Monitor devices using the Smarts Console GUI.

The OID Info tool enables you to view the list of OIDs that are used to discover and monitor devices such as Host, Router, Switch, and so on. The OID information helps identify faults in the configuration of the SNMP agent of the device. The OID Info tool displays the list of OIDs for a device.

This tool is available in Smarts IP Manager version 9.2 and later in combination with Smarts Console 9.2 and later.

Resolution

The OID Info tool is introduced in the IP Manager and SAM Console versions 9.2 and is not available in older versions. The OIDs can be viewed through the OID Info option in the Domain Manager Administration Console.

To see the list of OIDs, proceed as follows:

1.) Open the Domain Manager Administration Console and attach to the relevant Smarts IP Domain.
2.) On the left side, drill into the topology tree and right click on the device instance for which you wish to view the OID information.
3.) Right-click the device and select OID Info:

4.) Information is displayed as follows:

5.) The OID Info window displays the following columns:

Type  The type of class, Discovery or Monitoring.

Component   Contains the Probe Name such as Containment and Performance in case of Discovery type, and Entity name such as Interfaceand Port in case of Monitoring type.

Entity   Contains the Driver Name in case of Discovery type and the Instrumentation class name in case of Monitoring type.

OID   The SNMP OID associated with the device.

Description   Description of the SNMP OID or discovery probe if available.

For Monitoring type, this field contains the attribute name of the SNMP OID or discovery probe.

For Discovery type, due to the limitations of IP Manager, this field is either empty or contains a generic description of the SNMP OID or discovery probe.

Related Information

NOTE 1:
Objects discovered in ICMP only mode, objects not having a SysOID, objects not having an associated SNMPAgent object in the topology, and thin clients WirelessAccessPoints will also be ignored.

NOTE 2:
This OID information can also be generated from the command line.
