I am relatively new to ZenOss, so I am probably not fully understanding the platform. I do understand SNMP, MIBs and OIDs very well.
>From what I can tell, ZenOss can handle any OID regardless of a MIB being >loaded. Is that true? Does ZenOss ever query the set of loaded MIBs to get a "nice" name for an OID? That can come up in all sorts of areas of the Zope console. The reason I ask is I loaded MSFT-MIB.mib to gain visibility into the name of these OIDs: 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.1.2, 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.1.3, and 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.2 respectively. These are the Microsoft Windows Server, Workstation and Domain Controller OIDs. On a base install of core, you can find them in the products area under Microsoft. If you model a Windows box, then the OIDs will come up in the HW Model section under OS on the device status tab in the lower right. I had to manually go into the products area and change the name of the OIDs to better names once I figured out what the OIDs were for. I kind of expected ZenOss to do that for me, but my expectatoin could be wrong. Hence the post here. What is the relationship with MIBs that are loaded into the organizer and the rest of the areas of the ZenOss platform? Is the MIB organizer only for me to figure out what OIDs I will find interesting to assign to templates and other stuff? Any help would be appreciated.
