I'm trying to make a custom MIB poller for wavelength power levels in an optical network, but I can't find the OID for the object associated with such a value for the life of me. Anyone have any tips on browsing the MIB to find what I'm looking for?
Yes. Mention the vendor's equipment, model, and software version would be a start... Is this Cisco, Cienna, or Infinera? ONS15445, 6500, ATN, DTN,...
Download the text mib for the device and use your favourite editor (vim, notepad++, vi, grp, emacs) and search for text strings like optical power level, find the name and then use the Solarwinds MIB browser to search by name.
Sorry, I'm working on figuring out all that information. I know the vendor, which is Cerent, but I'm still trying to find the other info.
Where would I find the text mib?
I have the software version: 09.30-011F-28.14-SPA
As far as the equipment goes, there are multiple nodes, and I have a spreadsheet for each node, detailing all the equipment each node uses.
A co-worker sent me a file with all the Cerent MIB definitions, and I found the OID. But thanks Richard, that's good info for the future.
