Select OIDs

Points are built for each interface-OID combination, based on the SNMP settings and the OIDs you select in the Build Tags tab. See Map OIDs to PI Points.

1. Select the Build Tags tab to view the OID tree. Each OID is an entry in the MIB-II tree which stores definitions for SNMP messages.

   All OIDs in the interfaces branch of the MIB-II table refer to the interfaces selected in the panel. In other words, if you select the IfIndex OID, these points are built for each selected interface:

   iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib- 2.interfaces.ifTable.ifIndex.ifInOctets

   Typically, you want to choose a number of OIDs as the basis for a collection of PI points that communicate detailed information about the status of the interface.

2. Select each OID you want to build points for.

3. Select a parent node to automatically select all child nodes.

4. Once all OIDs are selected, click Assign Tags to preview the PI SNMP points that will be created based on the selections in the Tag Preview Pane.

5. Create PI SNMP points.

   

6. To load a different MIB file:

   1. Click Load an MIB file on the toolbar and navigate to the MIB file location.

   2. Select the file.

   3. Click Open.
