Hi Paul,

There are indeed many errors in that MIB
which makes it unusable for MIB Explorer
(causing the error you quoted). That's why
using the lenient import is at your own
risk ;-)

A syntactically correct version of the MIB is:

MIB-TEST DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN

IMPORTS Integer32, enterprises, Unsigned32,
        OBJECT-TYPE, MODULE-IDENTITY FROM SNMPv2-SMI
        OBJECT-GROUP FROM SNMPv2-CONF;

functionalarea MODULE-IDENTITY
  LAST-UPDATED "200902110000Z"
  ORGANIZATION "My Organistation"
  CONTACT-INFO ""
  DESCRIPTION "My MIB"
  ::= { component 3 }

  mycompany         OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { enterprises 999999 }
  component         OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mycompany 1 }
--  functionalarea    OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { component 3 }


connectedServiceQueueSizes OBJECT-TYPE
    SYNTAX      SEQUENCE OF ConnectedServiceQueueSizeEntry
    MAX-ACCESS  not-accessible
    STATUS      current
    DESCRIPTION ""
    ::= { functionalarea 1 }

connectedServiceQueueSizeEntry OBJECT-TYPE
    SYNTAX      ConnectedServiceQueueSizeEntry
    MAX-ACCESS  not-accessible
    STATUS      current
    DESCRIPTION ""
    INDEX { serviceID }
    ::= { connectedServiceQueueSizes 1 }

ConnectedServiceQueueSizeEntry ::= SEQUENCE {
    serviceID    Unsigned32,
    queueSize    Integer32
}

serviceID OBJECT-TYPE
    SYNTAX      Unsigned32
    MAX-ACCESS  not-accessible
    STATUS      current
    DESCRIPTION ""
    ::= { connectedServiceQueueSizeEntry 1 }

queueSize OBJECT-TYPE
    SYNTAX      Integer32
    MAX-ACCESS  read-only
    STATUS      current
    DESCRIPTION ""
    ::= { connectedServiceQueueSizeEntry 2 }

functionalareaCompl OBJECT IDENTIFIER
    ::= { functionalarea 2 }

functionalareaBasicGroup OBJECT-GROUP
    OBJECTS { queueSize }
    STATUS current
    DESCRIPTION "Basic objects"
    ::= { functionalareaCompl 1 }

END

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the tip - I've downloaded MIB Explorer, but unfortunately when
using the attached MIB file I'm encountering the following problems:

1) When importing the MIB, I'm encountering 4 instances of the following
syntax error: "Error 1000: Encountered "MAX-ACCESS"  Was expecting:
"ACCESS"...".  Can you see what the problem is?  My MIB newbie eyes can't
see any difference between my MIB and similar table definitions in other MIB
files.

2) If I go ahead and choose to import the MIB with the most lenient syntax
checks, I get the following exception when attempting to browse down through
the tree to the node for the defined table (which I concede may well be due
to the flawed MIB!):

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException

Apologies if this isn't the correct forum to discuss MIB Explorer issues,
but any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Hi Paul,

You have taken my MIB Explorer Pro into
account yet?

An evaluation version is available from
http://www.mibexplorer.com

The upcoming 3.0 release will get a DB
interface to put monitored values directly into a SQL database (DB2, Oracle,
MySQL, etc.).

I am not sure if that is what you are
looking?

Best regards,
Frank

Hi,

I've used the SNMP4JAgent library to add agent functionality to my server that returns both scalar and tabular SNMP objects (that have a fixed
number
of columns but a variable number of rows), which works great. Whilst developing, I have been using Paessler's PRTG and SNMP helper software to test my OIDs. This works fine with the scalar objects, and allows me to access cells in the tabular objects if I include the column and index values.

However, for production it would be much nicer if the network monitoring client would take the OID of the whole table and then determine the table state (using the GETNEXT command) itself and present a graphical view of
the
table structure and contents. Does anyone know of any client that is capable of doing this?

Thanks

Paul
