Re: [nv-l] snmpCollect

Double Check that there is nothing wrong with the MIB you loaded --
(1)  When you are in xnmbrowser and you have the variable highlighted, and you click on Describe, does that information all look correct, especially the data type?
(2)  Can you query one of the agents you plan to collect from and get data back in the browser?

No, they are not. I need to add a new collection using these variables.

sequence:

- xnmbrowser
- Press add to add a new MIB object collection
- Here I select MIB Object and I browse to the desire OID
- When on the desire OID, the OK and apply button are disable for these
variables.

I have than this many times and never had this problem unless the variables
are of type "display string".

Thanks.
