Hi All,
We are running 7.1.4 FP03 on AIX 5.2L It is not in production, yet, but it
probably will be by the end of the month.
We are monitoring two machines which have BMC Patrol monitoring SW on them
and they respond to SNMP queries. While browsing, everything is fine as log
as the patrol.mib file covers the MIB names. The last three positions are
not named, so you have to use numbers and that is parameterCurrentValue. It
is being indexed as:
applicationOid, applInstaOid, ObjectOid and the whole structure is defined
as DisplayString in the mib file.
If you use three dot sepparated numbers as interface instance it works OK,
ie. you get the result, even if you mix numbers and names:
....parameterCurrentValue.31.422 and then use 424 as instance number...
I have tried to graph this (as this is exactly what BMC's proprietary SW
does, but on an unusable SUN WS, since the access is not logical, nor easy),
so I can provide this information to everyone. But when I tried to create a
collector in the first try, it refused to save, with message Wrong MIB. I
know that DisplayString is not the one you can graph, but I would appreciate
any workarounds.
I have changed definitions in the mib file so it is defined as inetger, but
I am not sure if that makes any sense..
Thank you in advance.
Have a nice day,
Vladan
