Tser Siong Toh [DevOps Advocate]177 6th February 2025 2 Comments

Dear All,

I will want to monitor the overall summary status of an element through snmp.

What will be the fastest way to integrate the monitoring of thid element through snmp polling of this element summary status’s SNMP OID?

Any good suggestion?

Thanks

Best Regards

Toh

Hi Tser,
Can you elaborate a bit your question? Are you planning to monitor a DataMiner element from an external application via SNMP?

Tser Siong Toh [DevOps Advocate] commented 6th February 2025

I will be adding this device to dataminer for monitoring through snmp. However, I will just be monitoring the overall summary status.
I will just need to poll this single snmp OID ( overall summary status) of this device.

Hi Tser,

Device status monitoring depends on the vendor’s implementation. To my knowledge, there is no generic OID that provides the overall summary status of the device. Instead, vendors often implement proprietary OIDs for this purpose within their custom MIB modules. To determine whether such a summary status exists for a specific device, you would need to:

  • Consult the vendor’s MIB documentation to identify relevant OIDs (e.g., deviceHealthStatus or systemSummary).
  • Verify support through tools like SNMP walk commands or network monitoring platforms that parse vendor-specific MIBs.

Hope it helps.

The Generic SNMP connector might fit the bill here. You can it give it a trial.
