Re: [nv-l] SnmpCollect Multiple Interfaces/Instances

AFAIK, if you want to set up collection on multiple nodes but want to
select different instances, you need to give the collections different
names.

I don;t want to use a wild card (*) then it will start collecting on all interfaces, i want to select specific interfaces just to check threshold levels !

Hi,

NV 7.1.4 FP03 Windows 2000 SP4.
How can we collect data from multiple interfaces/instances using a single snmpCollect collector, it only allows one instance per collector, like to check in & out traffic on a specific link i have to create two different collectors for that. Cant i create a single collector and add multiple instances/interfaces of  a router!

Usman,

What do you mean by collector?

You can set up collection on all instances of a MIB variable by using the wild card character in the Instance field.  That will get all interfaces on the selected nodes.  However, there are separate MIB variables defined for input and output octets, so the NMS issues a Get on two MIB variables.   You can combine them into a single MIB _expression_, but it still requires SNMP Gets on different variables.
