Node Form: Custom Polled Instances Tab

Tip The Custom Polled Instance Form provides details about the selected Polled Instance.

For information about each tab: Concept Link IconSee Also

(NNMi Advanced - Global Network Management feature) Any Custom Polled Instances are not sent from a Regional Manager (NNMi management server) to the Global Manager. From the Global Manager, use ActionsOpen from Regional Manager to see the list of Custom Polled Instances on the Regional Manager.

Basics Attributes

Attribute

Description

Node

Name of the topology node from which the Custom Poller Policy information is being collected. This is the current value in the NNMi database for the Name attribute of the node. The value could be a DNS name, a MIB-II sysName, or an address (depending on how your NNMi administrator configured the discovery process).

State

The State of the Custom Polled Instance as determined by any Thresholds (High State / Low State value) or Comparison Maps (State Mapping = the NNMi administrator assigns a State value for each possible Polled Instance value) configured for the current Custom Poller Collection's MIB Expression.

Possible State values for a Polled Instance (Threshold = High State/Low State; or Comparison Map = State Mapping) are:

Normal 

Warning

Minor

Major

Critical

Note The most severe Threshold High State or Low State value or Comparison Map State Mapping value returned from the Polled Instances for a Custom Node Collection becomes the Custom Node Collection Status.

MIB Variable

Represents the MIB Expression that NNMi polls according to configuration settings. Additional information associated with the MIB Variable includes the MIB Expression Name and any Threshold settings configured for the Custom Poller Collection.

Click the Lookup icon and select  Show Analysis or  Open to display more information about the MIB Variable.

See MIB Variable Form for more information about the MIB Variable attribute.

MIB Instance

This attribute contains the multiple filtered instances for the MIB Expression. Each instance value identifies a row in the MIB table.

If a MIB expression includes multiple MIB Variables that have multiple instances, each instance value that is valid across all MIB Variables for a node is listed here. If NNMi is unable to find the same instance for all MIB Variables in the expression, a Polled Instance is not created. This is because NNMi cannot correctly evaluate a MIB Expression with missing values. If Polled Instances are not created as expected, check the Custom Node Collection view for Discovery State and Discovery State Information values.

Last State Change Value

The value from the MIB Expression that caused the State to change.

Note A value of null indicates that a value was unavailable or an error occurred while evaluating the MIB Expression.

State Last Modified The date and time the Polled Instance was last modified.
