Active If you uncheck the check box, the data collection will be stopped for this OID. (The statistic row once
created will be blue.) To activate data collection, check the box.
Default value: True (checked).
Period The time interval for periodic data collection. For example, if set to 2, for all the Data identifiers, data
will be collected once in every 2 seconds.
Default value: 300 seconds.
Threshold Checking means the Threshold will be applied on this Data identifier. Unchecked means no Threshold
will be applied.
Default value: False (unchecked).
ThresholdList Name of the Thresholds in comma separated format, thus associating them to this Data identifier for
monitoring data collection.
Failure
Threshold
Threshold at which a failure is declared.
isMultiple Checking means the data identifier is of type multiple.
Policy Name The name of the polling policy.
Snmp Port Specify the Port No over which device data is passed to the AlliedView NMS by the device agent. The
default SNMP agent port is 161. Required.
Advanced Allows the optional values to be modified.
Protocol SNMP, TL1 or any other protocol used by you for data collection.The default protocol SNMP will be
assumed for data collection.
Save Whether to view the data only by Real Time monitoring using Current Statistic Graph. To specify that
you do not want to store the collected data, uncheck this check box.
Default value: True (Checked).
saveAbsolute
s
This option is applicable only for Counter type OIDs. By default, data collected for Counter type
OIDs is not stored as it is. The difference between the previous data and latest data is collected and
stored. If the exact value (absolute value) of collected data has to be stored for Counter type OIDs,
then this check box should be checked. Data collected for OIDs of other data types are saved as
absolute values.
Default value: False (Unchecked).
SaveOn
Threshold
Possible values are true and false. If true the collected data is saved only when it exceeds the
threshold.
Default value: false
Time Average Checking means the Time Average will be calculated as follows:
(<Latest collected value> + <Previous collected value>) / <Difference in data collection Time value>
This is mostly calculated for counter type and gauge type OIDs where the data collected will be an
incremental value and at one point will reach the final value and reset to zero. As this reset may
happen soon and very often, it is preferred that a delta value is derived from two consecutive polls.
Default value: false.
Last Counter
Value
The counter value last read.
Last Time
Value
The time the counter was last read.
Next Time
Value
The next time the counter will be read.
