question about creating a universal device poller

Question

Question - new to SNMP/Orion - so excuse my english if I get the terms wrong here.

I have a couple of Linux servers that I have enabled SNMP on, and in the snmpd.conf file there are several entries that define it's OID's for specific data it collects (see below).   Can I leverage the Universal Device Poller in Orion and query for these?

Thanks

John

Update:  I tried using MibViewer and tried downloading 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021 from one of these devices - it did, the OID Name is "ucdavis.200" but the note that came up beside it in red is "*** unsupported OID***"

Does this mean I can't poll for it, or use this, or import this MIB into the Universal Device Poller?

Thanks!

Another problem I'm having is the data that I am getting by default (CPU Usage) is simply returning 100% all the time - I'm sure this is incorrect data being returned by these devices, as I have 3 other similarily configured devices (from the same vendor) doing the same thing, regardless of user load, time of day, or what have you.

PS.    I see a lot of ObjectID entries for specific devices I've added in Orion in my Universal Device Poller when I sort by SysObjectID, but I don't see the entries above "1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.200.8" even though I see the devices themselves (if I list by Vendor they appear under "net-snmp"

So, I'm not sure how to "use" or poll of these "number of sessions on this device" or "performance" data entries that it's talking about here in this snmpd.conf file.

Thanks for any help.
