I have spent the last couple of days testing MIB information with my real time SNMP monitor for the nortel 5500 series switches. After this testing I have the MIBS that I would like to create custom pollers for but I am having a problem getting them to work in the Universal device poller setup.
What I am trying to do is setup a custom poller for dropped packed due to no resource and outbound interface discards. When I set this up in the real time SNMP monitor I ned to use the MIB then select the instance of the interface from the list and start the polling. I don't format the data because I just want the raw value and the calculation is Xper/second so I get the vlaue since the last poll and I poll the interface every 10 seconds.
My question is when setting this up with the universal device poller do I need to specify the OID as well as the instance? For example if the OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.45.5.12.1.1.1 and the interface instance is 24 should the custompoller be configured witht he OID being 1.3.6.1.4.1.45.5.12.1.1.1.24 ? These values will be used in a nodes detail view in a graph how can these values be displayed without a %ps showing in the graph?
