Monitor > Add SNMP Object

This operation allows the user load a MIB (SNMP Management Information Base) file into a 'tree view'. Once in the 'tree view' the user can select those Objects (values available to monitor) they wish to monitor via the SNMP Sets feature.

Note: This is considered a feature for advanced users because it is the goal of the system designers to provide many SNMP Sets that can be imported into the user's system with all the monitoring levels set as examples.

Load MIB (Button)

Executes a load file dialog. If the system does not have standard SNMP files that are considered required by most MIBs, it will load them automatically (these files are considered MIB II: snmp-tc, snmp-smi, snmp-conf, rfc1213, rfc1759). Once the file is loaded, the MIB Tree located at the bottom of the page can be opened and navigated to find the new Objects that the user can select. Most private vendor MIBs will be installed under the Private folder (see MIB Tree below).

Select Mib Object (step2)

Selects (checks) all of the Object 'leaves' that the user wants to be available in the SNMP Sets feature. .

Add MIB Objects (button)

Adds the Objects selected to the MIB Object list used in the SNMP Sets feature.

Remove MIB (button)

After selections have been made the MIB file can be removed. The size of the MIB Tree can become so large that it is hard to navigate. THis function cleans that process up.

Note: The MIB File can be loaded and removed at any time and does NOT affect any MIB Objects that have been selected for use or any MIB Objects that have already deployed to SNMP Sets.

MIB Tree

Represents all the MIB files that are currently loaded for the user to select from.
