Determine what OIDs are being polled on a node

I have an open case with Cisco about a firewall that randomly rebooted and they requested that I give them all the OIDs that NPM was polling at the time. The only one I know I can provide are the ones I configured in UDP. Is there a way to determine this somehow?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply d09h. I actually looked at that before I posted this and I don't believe it's what I'm looking for. It doesn't actually list the OIDs that are being polled. For now, I just did a packet capture on the firewall and used Wireshark to discover all of the OIDs, but it was tedious and I'm hoping for a better solution.

kmillerusaf Hi there, did you ever find a method easier than trawling through a packet capture? I have the same situation, case open with cisco and they want to know what OID's I am polling

Hi noobes, no I did not unfortunately. Can confirm that packet capture method worked even if it was rather tedious.

kmillerusaf Hi, thanks very much for the reply. This would be a very handy feature for troubleshooting. Looks like I'll have to make my way through the pcap dump. I've been looking in the database to see if I can find any tables that might help me but can't find one that will help me identify which oid's are being polled on a particular node.

The oids aren't explicitly listed in the database except for custom pollers, UnDP's, and SAM SNMP monitors. Solarwinds publishes in various places lists of the OIDs they poll but they are scattered across a dozen or more documents depending on what modules you have, what features you have enabled, and what type of device is being polled. To be frank a packet capture is by far the most comprehensive way to be sure of what the program is throwing at your device.
