[NV-L] Snmpget vs wsnmpget

["Zoeckler, Eric A." <Eric.Zoeckler@us.ngrid.com>]

Sorry if this is a repeat, but nv-l went whacky for a while and I was not receiving anything and I don't know if anyone received this email previously.

Patform: Netview 7.1.4 FP3 AIX 5.2

Goal:  To provide an alert in Netview when both of our F5 Load Balancers are in "active" state at the same time.
When OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.1.1.61.0 = 2  (this defines "active")

Background: 
This was previously accomplished using a shell script on an AIX box running Tivoli with Tivoli's wsnmpget command:
wsnmpget -h ip address -c community string 1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.1.1.61.0
This command returns:  2  (meaning active)

The equivalent command using snmpget on my Netview box is:
snmpget -c community string ip address 1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.1.1.61.0
This command returns:  snmpget: This variable does not exist: .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysUpTime.6
.1.4.1.3375.1.1.61.0.

If I could get snmpget to work, the next question would be, How do I use this in Netview?

snmpwalk works:  A search of the output reveals that the above OID is not found.  That is, the OID is found but without the ending 61.0

How do I accomplish my goal?  Am I barking up the wrong tree?  Is there a utility like rulesets or smartsets that can accomplish my goal?

Thank you in advance for any guidance you can provide.
