I have Several SNMP Monitors that query values, but with no alerts, it's for reporting.

However, I'm not able to figure out how to get those values into Source Data in the Reporting tool.

TLI_JR,

Okay, we understand the problem with the SNMP monitor. Everything you're monitoring is a string. Most of those strings don't change over time, maybe a few but not very often. The SNMP monitor is designed to record numeric values to the database for reports/charts/etc. Since we can't chart string values they don't get saved.

So with that said, how would you like to get reports on these values, what do you want to see in the report?

Thanks Quinn

The end goal is two-part. We have clients with multiple devices and it would be nice to have one report for them rather than per device as the summary report does now. Additionally, using the schedule reports to save the report locally as instructed in http://support.poweradmin.com/osqa/questions/3484/status-report-save-to-s3-or-local-folder

TLI_JR,

As it turns out that SNMP monitor is only able to collect number values. There is another way to pull SNMP string values by using the Inventory monitor.

First you will need to the InventoryList.txt file. That file lets you define OIDs to be pulled in and used to populate Inventory fields which could then be reported on. The instructions are listed in the top of the text file.

Look in C:Program FilesPA Server MonitorInventoryList.txt

Once you have that entered and saved restart your Console. For each server make sure that you add and Inventory monitor. Once the monitor has had time to run and collect data you should be about to run Inventory Report to show all of those values.

You can even edit the settings for the System Details section of the Server Status Report to show values in that section of the report.

Hope this works for you. It's not using the SNMP monitor but the Inventory monitor is pulling those IOD numbers and values.

Thanks Quinn

Data Type Name, Description. INTEGER. Used to specify a value whose range may include both positive and negative numbers.Some SNMP management applications list only the object names and their corresponding values in the SNMP traps. Whether or not your SNMP ...Simply loading a new MIB into your NMS does not necessarily allow you to retrieve the data/values/objects, etc., defined within that MIB.In the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), OID means an "Object Identifier." To define OID, it's an address used to uniquely identify managed devices and their statuses. To get SNMP data from your devices you can use command line tools or graphical tools. In the category of graphical tools, there are a number of different options. Searching for "SNMP browser" in Google or your favorite search engine will turn up a number of options, some free and some paid.
