Test a MIB Expression (Custom Poller)

The menu enables you to test the results of a MIB Expression using a Line Graph.

You must save the MIB Expression before you use ActionsGraph MIB Expression.

You can also right-click any object in a table or map view to access the items available within the Actions menu.

To graph the results for a MIB Expression:

  1. Select the row representing the MIB Expression you want to graph.
  2. Select ActionsGraph MIB Expression.

    The dialog for selecting a node appears.

  3. Click the  Lookup icon and select  Quick Find.
  4. Select the node you want to use to test your MIB Expression results.

    NNMi displays a Line Graph using the selected node and calculating the results for the MIB Expression you selected.

    Note the following:

    • Line Graphs Only. When evaluating MIB Expressions that include MIB variables of type Counter or Counter64, NNMi requests both the high capacity and low capacity counter variable for any interface instance. If the high capacity Counter64 is enabled for any given interface instance, NNMi uses the high capacity counter.
    • Custom Poller Only. When evaluating MIB Expressions that include MIB variables of type Counter, NNMi requests only the low capacity counter information for any interface instance.
