So, I actually just stumbled across the answer.
Having the file loaded in snmp.conf and apparently read and parsed in
snmpd didn't work.
Adding a configure option
--with-mibfiles="/share/snmp/mibs/filename.txt"
worked.
Its still loading it as snmpd starts up, but now it seems to work and
allow use of the MIB defined names instead of just using numeric OIDs.
Problem solved.

Hi All,
I have I think a very basic question. I've been chasing around on
this for a couple of days.
I am setting up a custom monitor command in snmpd.conf. As long as I
supply numeric OIDs, it works fine. However, if I supply a name in
place of the OID, from an MIB file that resolves just fine with
snmptranslate, snmpd throws a configuration error saying it can't find
the OID. I can see in the -Dread_config output of snmpd that it is
seeing and loading my custom MIB file, and obviously snmptranslate is
seeing it as well.
The question is this. Should I be able to do this, or does the mib2c
command get involved and I have to set up the .h and .c files in
agent/mibgroup? I'm really hoping creating the .c file isn't required
and that I just have some other minor mis-configuration.
After spending a couple days reading and playing with it, I just was
hoping for some confirmation from the group.
Thanks,
Doug
