The Snmp category provides a set of Knowledge Scripts for monitoring SNMP-enabled devices. From the Knowledge Script view of Control Center, you can access more information about any NetIQ-supported Knowledge Script by selecting it and clicking Help. Or in the Operator Console, click any Knowledge Script in the Knowledge Script pane and press F1.
Many Snmp Knowledge Scripts use the terms “ODE” or “OID”:
ODE: SNMP Object Description in its readable, named format. For example, “system.sysDescr.0” is the ODE for the numeric OID “.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.0”.
OID: SNMP Object Identifier in its numeric format. For example, “.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.0” is the OID for the SNMP attribute “system.sysDescr.0”.
For more information, see Section 3.1, Customizing Snmp Knowledge Scripts.
The Snmp category includes the following Knowledge Scripts:

Knowledge Script |
What It Does |
|---|---|
|
Copies the specified list of MIB files to the AppManager agent host where you installed AppManager SNMP Toolkit. Reloads the MIB tree for the module so the new MIBs are recognized. |
|
|
Monitors device uptime for an SNMP device and raises an event if the device has restarted since the last monitoring interval. |
|
|
Monitors the contents of the Interface MIB from an SNMP device and raises an event when an interface changes state. |
|
|
Removes the specified list of MIB files from the AppManager agent host where you installed AppManager SNMP Toolkit. Reloads the MIB tree for the module so the removed MIBs are no longer accessible. |
|
|
Checks for incoming SNMP traps forwarded from NetIQ SNMP Trap Receiver. |
|
|
Attempts an SNMP Get or GetNext for the specified SNMP attributes. Thresholds can be checked, and mathematical conversions can be performed. |
|
|
Retrieves a specified set of SNMP table columns, and reports results for each row retrieved. Thresholds can be checked, and mathematical conversions can be performed. |
|
|
Polls specified SNMP attributes at a prescribed time interval and number of polling attempts. Thresholds can be checked, and mathematical conversions can be performed. |
|
|
Polls a specified set of SNMP table columns at a prescribed time interval and number of polling attempts, and reports summary results for each row polled. Thresholds can be checked, and mathematical conversions can be performed. |
|
|
Attempts an SNMP Set for the specified SNMP attributes of the specified values. |
