The NetView SNMP data collector will only collect data for certain types of
MIB objects (I can't remember exactly which ones so I did not list them).
For example, it will NOT work on STRING objects like ifDescr. It WILL work
on COUNTER objects like ifInOctets.

Michael,
I have checked, but that isn´t the problem. It started, however,
after I
upgraded to Netview 5.1.
To answer Leslie´s question, I don´t have any of the patches
installed yet.
An example to illustrate the problem:
I select Tools -> Data Collections and Thresholds -> Add
The I drill down the mgmt portion of the mib until I reach
mib-2.interfces.ifTable.ifEntry.
When I select ifIndex, I can create a collection. (This means that
OK and Apply
- buttons aren´t greyed out.)
For ifDescr, ifType, ifMtu, ifSpeed, and ifPhysAdress, these boxes
are greyed
out. This means that I cannot create a collection.
ifAdminStatus, ifoperStatus, and ifLastChange aren´t greyed out.
The rest of the objects all have OK and Apply greyed out, including
instances
like ifIn/OutOctets, ifin/OutErros, and so forth.
However, before I call support, I will install the latest patches,
and then
check again.
Thanks for the help
