Submit the MIBs in a support ticket. We'll add them to the DB. We update it every week.

but then How do I get them back to add them to NPM?

We update it every week

speaking of updating it every week has anyone automated their Orion server MIBs.cfg update process?

npereira

can you explain how to do this?

You could use the built-in FTP tool with Windows in a batch file that will download the file, then extract it.

ftp -s:ftp.cfg -A ftp.solarwinds.net (-s for answer file, -A for anonymous login)

and provide the ftp answer file such as:

get /cmb03/MIB-Database/MIBs.zip
quit

Extract the contents with your favorite ZIP tool to the necessary directories.

Then run this as a scheduled task.

Download the updates from your customer portal...on the left nav - under Orion MIB Database

npereira

and where are the necessary directory suppose to be?

When you download them from the portal there is a readme included with instructions.

The MIB database is zipped and can be installed by copying
the new MIB database file (MIBs.cfg) over your old database file.

1. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to your installation folder
and locate the MIBs.cfg file. By default, this is located in one of
the following locations:
* Cirrus: \Program Files\SolarWinds\Configuration Management
* Orion: \Program Files\SolarWinds\Common
* Toolset v8: \Program Files\SolarWinds\Engineer's Edition\
* Toolset v9: \Program Files\SolarWinds\Engineer's Toolset\
2. Unzip the new MIB database to a temporary directory, and then
replace the outdated MIBs.cfg file with the new MIBs.cfg file.

ok, so now that I have done this part, I have sent a ticket to add Audiocodes MIB tables but where do I send the MIB database?

Also, is there a way to get views of a specific MIB table for a device onto the Orion website?

For example, I have 2 Acme SBC's, and I need to know (from Orion website) the actual number of sessions active on the SBC's.
The MIB table I need to see is: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9148.3.2.1.2.1.1.4

You have me confused. You should have submitted them all attached to the support ticket so they can be compiled into the next MIB database update.

Here is an excellent tutorial that explains how to display results on the website-

www.solarwinds.com/.../index.html

When I created that ticket, there is no way to attache files.

When you hit submit you will receive an auto-reply with your case number and you can then attach the files to your case.
