Visualizing SNMP Agent Variables

Home  Previous  Next

The SNMP Browser tool allows you to easily visualize the variables (OID and values) available in an SNMP agent. This tool is very useful to identify which OID you need to poll in the SNMP Polling wizard.

To set the SNMP Browser tool:

1.Right-click the main Monitoring Studio icon > KM commands > Tools > SNMP Browser
2.Enter the hostname or IP address of the computer where the SNMP agent is running
3.Enter its port (by default: 161) and its community
4.Specify the root OID from which you want to perform a "SNMP walk" (sort of SNMP dump)
5.Click the Update button. If the information entered is correct, the result of the SNMP walk is shown a few seconds later. If not, an error message is displayed with some details about the failure. You can use the same settings when you setup a new SNMP Polling object in Monitoring Studio.

NotePerforming an SNMP walk on a remote SNMP agent that has thousands of variables may take a long time.

6.Click Close to quit the SNMP Browser tool.
