Antwort: OIDs Seedfiles and SNMP status polling

[sylvia.koch@emprise.de]

Hi Danny,

you can make nodes get polled via SNMP by adding the P flag to the oid
statements in /usr/OV/conf/oid_to_type.

Hope this helps.

Hi All

I am attempting to have my cake and eat it, so please don't flame me for
presenting an unreasonable request:

I have a seedfile that contains IP addresses and IP address. What I would
like to do is status poll most of the devices using SNMP. However, if I
understand correctly, one must first discover the object and then add the
"$" before the IP address or hostname in the seedfile.

So I had an idea: how about using OIDs - maybe I can put the following line
in my seedfile and run "netmon -y" (it's the OID of a printer)

$@oid 1.3.6.1.4.1.2001.1.2.683.6

No such luck.

Therefore, the only solution that I can think of is to work through the
database to see which objects have been discovered and support SNMP and
have the appropriate OID and update the seedfile accordingly (not
forgetting the netmon -y afterwards).

I'm sure that someone out there has had to deal with the same issue.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a flag you could set somewhere that says
"If the object supports SNMP, use SNMP to status poll it"?

Any ideas anyone?

Cheers.

Danny
