MIB data collectors
The Management application enables you to define a data collector by mapping a MIB object to a
unit name in the mib_unit.properties file. This property file is located in the
Install_Home/conf/mibs directory. The default mib_unit.properties file contains commonly used
MIB unit definitions.
Once mapped, the unit name displays on the line chart of the performance graphs when you select
that MIB object as a data collector.
You can map a unit name from either a MIB name or MIB object identifier (OID).
Example
#MIB OID mapping
1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6 = Octects
#MIB name mapping
ifHCInOctets=Octects
Mapping a MIB object to a unit name
To map a MIB name or OID to a unit name, complete the following steps.
1. Open the
mib_unit.properties
file in a text editor.
The mib_unit.properties file is located in the Install_Home/conf/mibs directory.
2. To map a MIB OID, use the following format:
1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6 = Octects
3. To map a MIB name, use the following format:
ifHCInOctets=Octects
4. Save and close the file.
You can then annotate the performance graphs using the unit name by assigning the MIB
object as a data collector. For counter values, the unit name is appended with “/sec” to
indicate the rate information for that counter value.
If you define a data collector with a MIB object that does not have an associated unit name, the
unit name displays as an empty string on the performance graph.
IP Custom performance reports
You can create customized reports and run or schedule them in the same manner as a standard
report.
You can modify, copy, or delete customized reports. Select the report from the Report Definitions
tab, then click the Edit, Duplicate, or Delete button.
