Where can I get a list of default OID's that NPM uses for the following vendors:
Brocade Communication Systems
Cisco
(Including Cisco Nexus router/switches)
HP
Juniper Networks
Juniper Networks/NetScreen
You can actually see the lists of OIDs used by NPM in the snmpwalk.exe. Open this tool (in C:\Program files(x86)\SolarWinds\Orion) and if you expand each of the statistics options, if there are vendor specific MIBs they will be listed. If not, then NPM only uses a RFC standard and you'd need to find the OID from the vendor and create a Universal Poller for it.

Please notice that snmpwalk.exe lists all OIDs supported by device. It basically asks for all of them. This operation is also known as a MIB walk. Tool is not performing any filtering to display only OIDs, which Orion is able to utilize, it simply displays all of them.
Slight correction, the tool I was thinking about was the poller checker tool.
I know that NPM does not use all the OID or MIB that is part of the MIB database. I would like a list of the default OID or MIB group that it uses. I use the Universal Poller for OID that are not default for different things.
I am looking at the tool right now, but I need the OIDs. Looking to see if there is a way to find them.
There is nothing documented. The checker tool will just allow you to see the MIBs that are used if there are some customer specific.
With exceptions to Cisco, F5, Juniper, and a few others, NPM uses the RFC1213 standard. The checker tool will show you what is pulled specifically for the vendor when you click the + for each poller.
Do a knowledge base search -- there are a number of documents with titles like
"What object IDs (OIDs) does Orion NPM poll for..."
e.g.
SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: What object IDs (OIDs) does Orion NPM poll for information about Cisco wireless access points? What types of information about Cisco wireless access points does Orion NPM poll?
SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: What object IDs (OIDs) does the Orion Platform poll for network topology information? What types of network topology information does the Orion Platform poll?
SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: What CPU and memory utilization object IDs (OIDs) does Orion NPM poll?
In general NPM uses the standard MIBs with very small exceptions for things like CPU & Memory on switches and routers, CDP on cisco equipment, and support for thin wireless access points.

Thanks I found that the other day also. Unless I missed something there is still some missing as a default like n.Upttime.SNMP.Generic. So what else is missing?
