Alert based on Custom poller (Infoblox)

Question

Hi,

I am trying to configure an alert for DHCP utilization for Infoblox.

1.3.6.1.4.1.7779.3.1.1.4.1.1 (ibDHCPSubnetEntry)

is having the following child OIDs.

1.3.6.1.4.1.7779.3.1.1.4.1.1.1.3 (ibDHCPSubnetNetworkAddress)

1.3.6.1.4.1.7779.3.1.1.4.1.1.1.2 (ibDHCPSubnetNetworkMask)

1.3.6.1.4.1.7779.3.1.1.4.1.1.1.1 (ibDHCPSubnetPercentUsed)

When I tried to add custom poller using the Universal device poller, it is prompting me to choose any of the above the child OID.

My objective is to setup an alert for those subnets ( ibDHCPSubnetNetworkAddress ) which cross the threshold value (ibDHCPSubnetPercentUsed) and a get view in node level.

= > How to add the OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.7779.3.1.1.4.1.1 so that it can be viewed in the web console in table format with Network address and Percent Utilization.

=> How to add the OID and create an alert using custom poller variables in Alert message so that it can alert us when any subnet reach the threshold value (%).

I have tried to add the child OIDs ( for ibDHCPSubnetNetworkAddress & ibDHCPSubnetPercentUsed) separately but it becomes two different table in Node view which is not proper readable format and not able to create an alert.

Need your advise on this.

Hi,

Look at this recording it explains the basics of UnDP, especially table pollers starting around 6min50sec and how to combine multiple tables to create a mutli column table starting around 10min00sec

Create a Universal Device Poller (UnDP) in the Orion Platform - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

As far as your alerts, use the Advamced Alert Manager. Good tutorial here: Alerting resources for Orion Platform products - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

It shows an advanced alert based on std interfaces, but you can also create an alert based on your Customer poller, as showed here:
