You will need to have SolarWinds compile the MIBs to be placed into our MIB database.

Please submit a ticket here and attach the MIBs with the auto-reply email from Support-

thanks

I have done it.

is this for v8 and above or does this work on v7 also?

V7 does not have the custom mib poller.

Mark,

Must I send all the mib files to solarwinds to be compiled ??

mark_wiggans

If they are not currently in our MIB repository then you will need to have them compiled by Solarwinds-

eric

Thanks for your reply.

And what's the type of the mib in your MIB repository?

And could the router provider (Huawei Company) compile the mibs themselves?

mark_wiggans

We compile them to a DB of OIDs, the vendor cannot compile the MIBs-

At this time you will have to keep sending us the MIBs -

Mark,

Few questions related to your answer:

1) Is it a requirement for Orion NPM as well that we send any private/custom MIBs to Solarwinds before the MIB can be viewed, to do get/set/walk? I thought that this was the requirement only for the Engineering toolkit?

2) If we are required to send our MIBs to you for Orion NPM as well, what is the typical turnaround time for the process of adding the private MIBs to the database?

3) Will our private MIB remain only accessible to us or will everyone be able to access it from your MIBs download page?

evalUser,

No the MIB do not need to be compiled for Orion for it to be monitored as long as you know the OID you can get to it, Toolset on the other hand need it to be compiled.

2) If we are required to send our MIBs to you for Orion NPM as well, what is the typical turnaround time for the process of adding the private MIBs to the database?

We typically take a week to compile any MIB that we received , that is provided that it complied without any issues.

3) Will our private MIB remain only accessible to us or will everyone be able to access it from your MIBs download page?

It will be posted to the customer portal so anyone with access to the customer portal have access to it. If you want to keep you MIB private do not send it in for us to be compiled.

Thank you - that is useful information.

One more question.

I noticed that I needed to pick a Node or Interface to be able to create a custom poller - is there a way to do this before any nodes are added to Orion? We will need to create custom-pollers before the nodes are available to be managed for our custom (private) MIBs.

mobius

evalUser,

You could assign the MIB to any nodes and when you have the actual node that you want to apply to managed you can always apply to this node later.
