sysObjectID_Value
This parameter identifies a value for the MIB variable sysObjectID from the
In NetView you can use the “Configuration - System Information” menu item to check if a specific node returns a value for sysObjectID and which value is returned.
MIB_ObjectID
This parameter identifies a MIB variable that must be supported by each individual node in order to receive the new symbol type. This variable is specified with the object instance (always “.0” for scalar objects) without the period prefix. For example, “1.3.6.1.4.1.231.2.10.2.1.3.0” identifies the object sniInvCondition from the inventory MIB.
New_Symbol_Type
This parameter identifies the symbol type to be assigned to all symbols (in the open map) of a node supporting the specified MIB variable. This symbol type must be a type already known in NetView, and is specified by entering the symbol class and symbol subclass, separated by a colon, e.g. Computer:FujitsuSiemens. You can view the symbol types defined in NetView by selecting the Object – New menu option. If this parameter is not a symbol type known in NetView, the Poll application terminates immediately.
Blank lines and comment lines (which must start with “#” in the first column) are permitted in this configuration file.
The lines of the configuration file are compared against each node in the order in which they are specified. If there are several lines with the same sysObjectID_Value, only the first line specified is valid; other lines with the same sysObjectID_Value are ignored. The node is always tested only for support of the MIB variables from the first matching line. In this case, “matching” means that the node returns the specified value for the MIB variable sysObjectID and there is no symbol representing the node in the open map which has the symbol type New_Symbol_Type.
