About the Snmp Point Manager Discovered pane

The Discovered pane displays MIB entries from the last compiled MIB file. These entries provide a template for creating and pre-configuring Snmp proxy points for the SnmpDevice (in particular, it automatically sets up such Snmp proxy point properties as the 'Object Identifier', or OID).

The columns of the table are as given in the figure.

Name

The name of the OBJECT-TYPE of the MIB entry. This name will be used to give a name to any created Snmp proxy points based on the entry.

OID

The Object Identifier of the given entry. This OID will be pre-configured in the 'Object Identifier' property of any created Snmp proxy points based on the entry.

Type

The type of object given in the Syntax section of the MIB entry. Common examples are INTEGER, DisplayString, Gauge, IpAddress, Counter, TimeTicks, etc. This type is used to pre-configure the 'Variable Type' property of any created writable Snmp proxy points based on the entry.

Value

This column displays the point value. When the MIB is loaded but not “walked” the value column is empty.

DisplayHint

This column presents the value of an Instance of an Snmp Object with the Syntax. It is more useful for the Octet String type of Data. DisplayHint “d” is used for Decimal data. For DataAndTime object, DisplayHint is defined as “2d-1d-1d,1d:1d:1d.1d,1a1d:1d” , It parses the Byte data into “YYYY-M-D,TIME,ZONE “.

Access

The accessibility of the MIB entry (read-only, read-write, not-accessible). Used to determine if and what type (read-only or writable) of Snmp proxy points can be created for the given entry.

Status

The current relevance of the MIB entry: mandatory, current, optional, deprecated, or obsolete. For display purposes only, does not affect creation of Snmp proxy points based on the entry.

ElementType

This column is only used internally during creation of Snmp proxy points based on selected entries in the table. It displays whether the MIB entry is a sequence element, trap-type, notification-type, or non-sequence element.

Description

Displays a summary of the function of the given MIB entry.
