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.

TipIt is recommended to turn off the debug mode when using this KM Command.

To set the SNMP Browser tool

1.Right-click a Host icon > KM commands > Tools > SNMP Browser.
2.Start SNMP walking from this root OID: Specify the root OID from which you want to perform a SNMP walk.
3.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 additional information 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 a large amount of variables may take a long time.

4.Click Close to quit the SNMP Browser tool.
