A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

Specify the MIB Variable Information for a Custom Poller Collection

When specifying the MIB variable information, note the following:

You navigate the MIB Tree to select a MIB OID to include in a MIB Expression.
Each MIB Variable can be associated with a single MIB OID or a MIB Expression.
A Custom Poller Collection can be associated with one or more MIB Variables.
Each Custom Polled Instance is associated with only one MIB Variable.

Variable Attributes
Attribute	Description
Name	The name you want to use for the MIB variable information. Each Name value must be unique within the same Custom Poller Collection. Type a maximum of 50 characters. Alpha-numeric and special characters (~ ! @ $ % ^ * ( ) _+) are permitted. No spaces are permitted
MIB Expression	You create a MIB Expression by selecting a MIB OID value from the list or using the MIB Expression form. If your NNMi Security configuration permits, to access the MIB Expression form, click the Lookup icon and do one of the following: Select Quick Find to select an existing MIB expression. Select Open to edit the current MIB expression. Select New to create a MIB expression. See MIB Expressions Form (Custom Poller) for more information.
Report Data Type	Requires Network Node Manager iSPI Performance for Metrics Software (NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics). To populate performance data in the dashboard views or enhance NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics reports by sharing NNMi configuration settings, install the optional Network Performance Server (NPS). Determines how NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics interprets the metrics to be displayed. Possible values include: Integer - Represents metrics as non-decimal numerical values. Gauge – Represents single non-cumulative values. Examples of Gauge data types include Response Time, Bit Rate, and Temperature. When Gauge data types are aggregated, NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics calculates the minimum, maximum, and average values. Percent – Represents single non-cumulative values that are formatted with a percent sign (%) and two decimal places. Examples of Percent data types include Utilization and Discard Rate. When Percent data types are aggregated, NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics calculates the minimum, maximum, and average values. Counter – Represents incremental values. Examples of Counter data types include byte counts, packet counts, and flow counts. When Counter data types are aggregated, NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics calculates the sum. String - Represents the metrics as a sequence of characters. Tip The String Data Type is most useful for filtering the report information rather than for reporting results. Unset - Default. Indicates you do not plan to export the data to the NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics Network Performance Server (NPS).
