What is the Row ID in a MIB. We have seen this value under certain OID strings when we have built our Custom Pollers?
We are not sure what the Row ID is, or where we would find it.
Thanks

Sorry, not sure I have the answer as I am searching for an explanation as well..however..I think, in light of what I have found so far, that we are talking about a table OID.. For example we have one two switches that make up one virtual switch, however I need to know when the SUP on either one changes it role. They have 3 values, 1 being standalone, 2 being active and 3 being standby. When I poll this OID I get a table in return giving me the status of each unit, one being active (main) the other being standby(spare). In this table one column says "RowID". The secund row says something along the lines of status.
My issue begins when I come to the point of creating an alert whenever these statuses change..so far I have not figured out how to alert on changes inside a table based on an OID..
Sorry if I missed your point entirely, I do not mean to hijack the thread.. I do hope someone can explain the RowID for us though, because in my alert trigger, this is the only numerical value I test for, but I get an error saying something <long string of numbers and letters> is not a numerical (sorry for the vague description, my connection to work seems to be troubled right now..)
Anyway..hope someone can give us a hint
Vaiper79,
Think I've accomplished what you are looking for. in order to create an alert on a specific "RowID" you need to build a complex alert that specifies the node, the poller name, the OID, the RowID, and then specify the unit that is going to change. Ive attached a screen shot of what my alert looks like. It will notify me when my CoS2 class uses more than 1.6mb p/s, and when it drops below 1.6mb p/s. It looks at my poller name and OID within the poller, then the Row ID for the data i am looking for.
