The relative MIB I have been loaded otherwise the number can't be
recognized.
The number is exactly the mib value, but this mib value is meaningless for
me.
Check the view of point,
I have the Generic and the Specific Number, instead of displaying a sequence
of number for Generic or Specific.
Is there have other method or ovAPI to display the relative EVENT Name for
the specific event ?
Thanks for your previous comment.
With the limited budget, what I can do is try my best. Therefore I really
want to have more information about ovAPI.
