Dirk,
As far the OID number vs text name - I don't have a preference.
On the GET results - I would like to see the actual text returned >IF< I could
pass that value as part of the alert message sent via email/pager.
For example:
Pretty Name: ImportantDevice
ODI Check: 1.3.6.1.6.3.12.1.3.1.7
Alarm if > 1
If the result is a "4" then the alarm should generate an alert like:
ImportantDevice is CreateAndGo (rather than RUNNING or DOWN)
or maybe:
ImportantDevice is DOWN (CreateAndGo)

Subject: [SA-list] SNMP OID -> text
Currently the SNMP check and SNMP trap receiver only work with OIDs (number
like 1.3.2.3.4.5.6)
We would like to know were you would like to see this translated to
something more meaningfull.
And how far should the convertion go?
Example:
OID: 1.3.6.1.6.3.12.1.3.1.7
should it be translated to:
snmpTargetParamsRowStatus
OR
.iso.org.dod.internet.snmpV2.snmpModules.snmpTargetMIB.snmpTargetObjects.snm
pTargetParamsTable.snmpTargetParamsEntry.snmpTargetParamsRowStatus
Also if we do a GET (or receive a trap) and get a value back, should we
translate that too?
(using the above OID as example and using the info from the MIB
file)
1 active
2 nonInService
3 notReady
4 createAndGo
5 createAndWait
6 destroy
Ofcourse to be able to do those "translations" we would need to have the MIB
files (in fact you would need to give the MIB files to SA, and SA will
"compile" them into a database that SA will then use)
Dirk.
