MIB's in NCM

virtual_ant

What would the best direction be to ensure that the appropriate SNMP MIB's are added into the NCM mib DB?    We've got three styles of disk array's Violin-Memory 6242,6243,7300 and 7700 and I have the process for getting the MIB's for our violin array's however I'm unclear on how to get them into the MIB's DB or to check whether the MIB's DB includes everything needed and the links I've found online haven't been very helpful so far.

Well as far as the NCM module goes, I don't think it even uses MIB's for anything.  In NPM you don't need to manually do anything to update the MIB db, you just send over the mib files to Solarwinds support and they will integrate them into future releases.  In the mean time you are free to set up custom pollers if you need something specific thats not already there, not having it in the database just means the UNDP tool won't have descriptions for the pollers you create so you would have to name them yourself and sometimes have to play with the advanced settings to get the data to show up the way you expect it.

That video should be able to get you started on setting up a custom poller
