We have lots of device made by HuaWei Company in China.
And we get their private MIB, and there are all *.mib files.
and could I customize there .mib? how?
Thanks.
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 ??
If they are not currently in our MIB repository then you will need to have them compiled by Solarwinds-
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?
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 -
http://www.solarwinds.net/NetPerfMon/SolarWinds/OrionAdministratorGuide.1.179.htm
And you mean if we get the OIDs, then wen can use these OIDs directly, yeah?
So, you mean that having the oids to be monitored is not enough, and you must have the MIBs added to and compatible with solarwinds? if we have current maintenance and send you the new MIBs, how long can we download them after you got the MIBs?
noob-
If you can browse to the MIB in the Custom MIB browser within Orion, then the MIB is already in our database.
To monitor a custom MIB with Orion or with Real Time SNMP Graph, it doesn’t have to be in the database. It only needs to be in the database if you want to “Browse” your way to the OID when selecting it. Otherwise, you can just type in the OID manually and it’ll work on any MIB whether it is in the database or not.
If a message like “OID Not Supported” or “No such name”, comes up it doesn’t mean that we don’t have that MIB in our database, it means that we successfully queried the device and that the device doesn’t support the MIB that you’re querying against. Here are some steps to assist you in creating custom MIB pollers.
With custom MIB polling, not only can you poll any MIB that is currently in the SolarWinds MIB Database, but Orion can also poll any other OID that you may need to monitor. This capability allows you to monitor virtually any statistic that your network devices can record. The following procedure uses the Custom MIB Poller Wizard to create a custom MIB poller.
To create a custom MIB poller:
A. Click Start / SolarWinds Orion Network Performance Monitor / System Manager.
B. Click File / Custom MIB Pollers.
C. Click New.
D. Click Browse next to the Select Node or Interface field.
Notes: The node or interface that you select here is assigned to the custom MIB poller. Additional nodes or interfaces can be assigned to the poller after completing the wizard. For more information, see “Assigning Nodes or Interfaces to a Custom MIB Poller”.
E. Select a node or interface, and then click OK.
F. Click Browse next to the Select OID field.
G. If you want to search the SolarWinds MIB Database for an OID, proceed as follows:
H. Click Search.
I. If you know the OID that you want to monitor, click Search by OID, enter the OID, and then click Show in MIB Tree.
J. If you want to find an OID by searching for the OID name, click Search by Name, enter the full or partial name of the OID, click Search, select the OID from the list, and then click Show in MIB Tree.
Notes: If you don’t know the exact name of the OID, use the wildcard character (*) in the OID name to expand your search results.
K. If you want to find an OID by searching within MIB descriptions, click Search by Description, enter search keywords, click Search, select the OID from the list, and then click Show in MIB Tree.
L. Click Done.
M. On the Select OID window, click Test.
P. If the test failed, check the following:
1. Are you using the correct community string for the node that is being used for the test?
2. Does the device support the MIB/OID that is being polled? Refer to the documentation supplied by the vendor to see what MIBs are supported by your device.
3. Can you access the device from the Orion server?
4. Ping the device to see if it responds or use a SolarWinds Toolset application such as IP Network Browser to see if it is responding to both ICMP and SNMP.
Q. If the test succeeded, click Close, and then continue with the wizard.
R. Click OK on the Select OID window.
S. Enter or edit the Name of the new custom MIB poller.
T. If you want to add the custom MIB poller to a group, select one from the Group list or type a new group name in the Group field.
U. If you want to add a description to the custom MIB poller, type one in the box provided.
V. Check Enabled, and then click Next.
W. Select the MIB Value Type.
X. If you are monitoring a rate or a counter, enter the Unit, and then select a Timeframe.
Y. If you are monitoring a raw value, select the Type.
Z. If you are monitoring an enumeration MIB type, you will need to define the enumeration map for your MIB as follows, and then click OK:
AA. Click Map.
BB. Enter a Raw Value, and then enter the corresponding Text Value. Repeat this until all raw values for the MIB have been defined.
Notes: The Raw Value field contains the value read from the SNMP response while the Text Value is the value that is written to the database.
Most devices return a 0 (zero) if the OID is unsupported. If 0 is not mapped in the enumerations table of the MIB database, you can add 0 to the raw value field and define your own error text in the text value field.
CC. Select either Keep real-time and historical statistics or Keep real-time statistics only, and then click Finish.
After you have created a custom MIB poller, you must assign nodes or interfaces to it. For more information, see “Assigning Nodes or Interfaces to a Custom MIB Poller”.
As soon as the custom MIB poller has been enabled and nodes or interfaces have been assigned, the poller will begin collecting statistics. To view these statistics, log in to the Orion NPM Web Console and browse to a node or interface that has been assigned to the poller. Remember: you can only view these stats from you web console not from the application. To view from your web console you will need to add some resources to the views in your web console. There are three basic areas to which you can add these resources: node detail views, interface detail views, and summary views.
thank you very much for your help. we typed the OIDs derectly to monitor and tested successfully. and also configured the web admin to show the graph; however, it did not work. there was no graph in the webpage.
what we monitored are CPU utilization, memory and so on. i think these status can be displayed with graph.
I have a similar problem..
In Orion 8.1 (eval) I tried to do a Custom MIB for showing PIX/ASA current Active connections.
The value is verified using snmptools ......
ueser@server> /usr/local/bin/snmpget -v 2c -c public 172.16.10.254 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.147.1.2.2.2.1.5.40.6
Answer: 9.9.147.1.2.2.2.1.5.40.6 : Unsigned32: 1073
I use the same OID [1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.147.1.2.2.2.1.5.40.6] in Orion and I do a test (Get), I succesfully get an answer.
Though in Orion Web I cannot see any graph ... instead I get a "No Data" under Custom Poller Status.
Dear all,
I have to re-install solarwinds orion 8.1 ( before, I upgrade from 7.8.5 to 8.1) then the MIB customized OK.
Regards
How do you customise the view so that it shows the new data. I have added the MIB but cannot see the value from the web console. Also can custom alerts be created for the new mib
You have to add the custom poller to your node view. So go in the Admin Page -> Manage Views then create a new View for a node that has a custom poller. Once your in the view you can go under Node Gauge or Node Chart and select custom poller.
