SNMP OID Browser

The SNMP OID Browser enables you to select the SNMP Management Information Bases (MIB) object identifiers (OID) you use to create SNMP object types and SNMP traps. MIBs are the files that enable the raw machine generated OIDs to display in a way that is more understandable to users. The MIB Manager enables you to add and manage MIBs. You can contact your SevOne Support Engineer to perform device certifications to add additional MIBs.

You can access the SNMP OID Browser from the navigation bar, click the Administration menu, select Monitoring Configuration, and then select SNMP OID Browser. Typically you access the SNMP OID Browser from an SNMP object type definition workflow or from a trap event configuration workflow. When an applicable OID appears on the right, click Select OID to return to the Object Types page or click Configure Trap Event to navigate to the Trap Event Editor.

OID Tree and OID Information

The OID Tree section displays the OID hierarchical structure. Navigate the OID tree hierarchy and select an OID to display more information on the right.

When you select an OID that is an actual trap that could be sent to SevOne NMS, the Configure Trap Event button is available to enable you to use the OID for the trap event. When you access the SNMP OID Browser from the Object Types page the Select OID button enables you to associate the OID with the SNMP Object Type or the SNMP Indicator Type.
