Parameters
|
|
|
|
|
Status
|
Text
|
Parameter that reflects the connection status to the SNMP agent.
“OK” indicates successful connection to the SNMP agent.
“Failed” indicates failure of connection to the SNMP agent. Possible causes are stated.
|
Alarm or Warning
Alarm
By default Alarm is enabled for RegExp “Failed”
|
Text Value
|
Text
|
Parameter displays the value of the specified OID – when this OID is a text type value.
If the polling is for an entire SNMP table, then the content of the SNMP table will be formatted as follows:
| ▪ | Semi-colon separated columns. |
“No data found” indicates that the specified OID is a numeric type value. In such a case, this parameter will be grey and it is the Numeric Value parameters that will display the polled values.
|
Alarm or Warning
Alarm
No default thresholds or alerts set
|
Numeric Value (HB)
|
Numeric
|
Parameter displays the value of the specified OID – when this OID is a numeric type value (integer, counter, etc.).
Unit: General number
“No data” indicates that the specified OID is a text value and hence this parameter is in grey. In this case, it is the Text Value parameter that will display the content polled.
Activate the thresholds on this parameter if a higher value is desirable.
|
Alarm or Warning
Alarm
No default thresholds or alerts set
|
Numeric Value (LB)
|
Numeric
|
Parameter displays the value of the specified OID – when this OID is a numeric type value (integer, counter, etc.).
Unit: General number
“No data” indicates that the specified OID is a text value and hence this parameter is in grey. In this case, it is the Text Value parameter that will display the content polled.
Activate the thresholds on this parameter if a lower value is desirable.
|
Alarm or Warning
Alarm
No default thresholds or alerts set
|
Thresholds can be set and modified on all parameters.
 (HB) = "Higher is Better" and (LB) = "Lower is Better". HB and LB parameters will always display the same value since, basically, both represent the same value. The purpose of having two parameters for the same value is to be able to set different alert thresholds depending on the nature of the monitored object.
For instance, an alert can be set to be triggered on the HB parameter when the value dips too low (it breaches the lower threshold of the range) and an alert can be set on the LB parameter to go off when the value rises too high. The setting of alerts is flexible and can be done on either of the two parameters, on both, or on neither; it depends entirely on nature of the monitored object and the user's specific needs.
