Component Description for Data Collection Screen Components
Property
Columns
For every statistic the associated properties are displayed in columns, such as Statistic name,
Poll ID, Data Identifier, DNS Name, interval etc. Some of the properties are as follows:
Statistic Name - A string to identify the Statistic uniquely. This should be a meaningful name
describing the Statistic.
Poll ID: A unique number associated with each Statistic to identify the Statistic. Poll ID is
automatically generated so no two Statistics will have the same Poll ID.
DNS Name: This is the Host name (device name) with which this Statistic is associated.
Data Identifier: This is the Identification number of the device interface from which data
about the device is to be collected. This Data Identifier is otherwise called as OID and it is
unique for every device. A list of possible OIDs for a device exists in the MIB definition of the
device.
Note: To view the OIDs of nodes and interfaces for a device, use the MIB browser.
Refer to Section 11.
Interval - This specifies the time interval at which data should be collected for the Statistic.
For example, the value 300 indicates that after every 300 seconds, data is collected.
Page Length The drop-down box labeled Page Length displays a number of hosts to be displayed per page.
By default, it is set to 10. Hence you can see ten hosts displayed in the left panel of the
Configured Collection frame. You can select other values such as 20, 30, 40, 50 etc. and view
that number of hosts together.
From and To
Range
There are two text boxes available labeled Displaying and To. You can set values in these,
press Enter, and see the hosts list in that range. For example, if you set Displaying as 4 and To
as 13, then you will be able to view from Host 4 to Host 13. By default, the hosts are displayed
in reverse alphabetical order.
