What
is the best way to identify what OID represents the correct item you wish to
monitor when walking an SNMP tree?
For
example: If I wish to monitor power supplies on a Cisco router I can go
to Cisco's web site and open up all the .my entries and hope that I can
translate their shortened descriptions. If I walk the snmp tree on a
Cisco device it shoots out tons of OID's but no description. I am
looking for an easy way to see what can be monitored on each device with a
description and then find the OID reference to that value.
Do I
need a MIB compiler? I already use the MibDepot web site but that only
helps up to a point. How does everyone else handle this task?
