Re: checking table for existence of an entry

["Leslie Clark" <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

Not with snmpCollect. If it cannot get the mib variable (gets the
response that it does not exist, for instance) it will stop trying to
collect it. I would investigate the MLM. Or enable a trap if
there is one on the agent for reporting the problem.

Greetings,

I'm curious if NetView has the ability to monitor a MIB table for the
existence of an entry.

For instance monitor, a Nokia firewall's process table to verify
that the Checkpoint module is up and running?
