User manual

Sensorsoft Alert User Manual
Type The object type describes the variable type of the object. Typical variable types include
IPAddress, Integer, and String. Attempting to enter an invalid value (for example, the
string “hello” for a variable that requires a number) will usually result in an error
message being returned to the NMS. When changing a value, always verify that the
change actually occurred, by doing an SNMP Get.
Access Specifies the read and write access granted for the object. It can be Read/Write or Read
only. Variables that are Read only indicate that the variable is provided for informational
purposes and cannot be set by the user.
OID The specific Object Identifier for the object. This may be required by some SNMP tools
to specifically reference the variable. Most NMS software will allow you to refer to the
variable name, and will keep track of the OID for you.
Non-Volatile Objects marked non-volatile are saved between sessions. That is, if the Sensorsoft Alert
appliance loses power (either deliberately or accidentally), the Agent's non-volatile
objects will not lose their values.
Note that many network management software packages can extract this information directly from the
MIB. Consult your NMS software’s documentation for information on how to view the following
information from your NMS.
