Hi Ryan, Importing a MIB into InterMapper does not create a custom SNMP probe for the device. When you import SNMP MIB files, the information is used to enhance the formatting of the displayed data. For example, certain views (especially in log files and the SNMP Table views) will use the MIB data to display numeric values as human-readable strings.
Importing a MIB facilitates creating a custom SNMP probe by allowing you to use symbolic (as opposed to numeric) values in your custom SNMP probe. However, you still need to create the probe itself in order to retrieve data from the device. To start creating custom SNMP probes, you should begin by reading the information on this page: http://www.intermapper.com/custom-probes-a-snmp/171-writing-custom-snmp-probes- Regards, Janice Losgar Dartware, LLC (603) 643-9600 x114 On Jun 4, 2010, at 11:29 AM, Bereznay, Ryan wrote: > We have two Blue Coat Proxy SG devices and Blue Coat has provided me MIB > files for monitoring the devices.
