SNMP monitor

The SNMP monitor is a dynamic tool for querying multiple asset identifiers (OID) from an remote SNMP agent and perform calculations on the returned values.

Note: The community name, SNMP version, and port used used by Network Monitor to connect to an SNMP asset is set on the Authentication tab of an asset node. The asset node may inherit this setting from a parent node. See the Installation Checklist.

Note: Only monitor specific settings are documented here. See Standard monitor settings.

Monitor specific settings

Example 1

Unknown(1), Alarm(2), Failed(3), Ok(4)

Example 2

Unknown=1,Alarm=2,Failed=3,OK=4

The values 1, 2, 3 and 4 are translated to Unknown, Alarm, Failed and OK. Both examples above are valid notations. The final translated string is the string used in the comparison operation.
