Ray -
Is your problem that in the grapher the items are shown by their OIDs and
not by a label?
That is because the grapher, just like xnmcollect which configures
snmpCol.conf, only reads the V1 MIB database ( /usr/OV/conf/snmpmib and
/usr/OV/conf/snmpmib.bin). He does not read snmpCol.conf, only
snmpCollect does that.
So either you have to get an V1 version of that MIB or create one
yourself.
I published some steps to do that a week or so ago. The archives will
also show you a link to get a tool called "smidump" from the web if you
want a tool to do the conversion. you need to download and build
(compile) the tool but it is free.
But to just get the labels I think you can create a dummy MIB to do the
job for you, using simple OBJECT IDENTIFIER statements, something like
this:
UCDAVIS-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN
ucdavis OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { enterprises 2021 }
ss OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { ucdavis 11 }
ssSwapIn OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { ss 3 }
ssSwapOut OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { ss 4 }
ssCpuUser OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { ss 9 }
ssCpuSystem OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { ss 10 }
ssCpuIdle OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { ss 11 }
mem OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { ucdavis 4 }
memAvailReal OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mem 4 }
memAvailSwap OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mem 6 }
END
See how the hierarchy works? I'm just guessing at the MIB labels
(ucdavis, ss, mem) from what you've provided. You can pick the real ones
from the V2 MIB if you like, but this should enable the grapher to label
your graphs.

Subject: [nv-l] editing snmpCol.conf for NET-SNMP Mib Objects
Hello Everyone!
NV7.1.2 on AIX 4.3.3 w/ ML10
I'm trying to setup data collection for CPU and memory on a Solaris server
on NetView. The Solaris server admin has installed the net-snmp 5.0.3
agent.
I added the MIB objects by editing the snmpCol.conf file because I could
not
locate SNMP V1 mibs for the net-snmp agent. I'm currently graphing the
following objects (as labeled in the Web Console MIB Browser):
ucdavis.ssCpuUser (1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.9)
ucdavis.ssCpuSystem (1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.10)
ucdavis.ssCpuIdle (1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.11)
ucdavis.ssSwapIn (1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.3)
ucdavis.ssSwapOut (1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.4)
ucdavis.memAvailReal (1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.4)
ucdavis.memAvailSwap (1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.6)
The graphs are working but the data labels in the Line Configuration and
on
the graph do not show the labels I provided in snmpCol.conf. How do I
correct this?
I'm still trying to understand the memAvailReal and memAvailSwap values
that
are returned. If anyone else is monitoring net-snmp agents on servers, can
you tell me the kind of objects you are monitoring?
Thanks very much.
