Defining A Mib Collection - Extreme Networks Ridgeline Guide Manual

Tuning and Debugging Ridgeline
The OIDs and devices to be polled, the poll interval, number of polling cycles and the amount of
polled data to be stored is all defined in the Administrator-created
The MIB Query tool allows an Administrator to create a one-time MIB query request to retrieve the
●
value of specific variables from a set of specified devices. This is a one-shot query, and does not poll
repeatedly or store the data it retrieves.
The MIB Query tool is accessible only to users who have an Administrator role.

Defining a MIB Collection

A MIB Collection is defined in an XML file named
directory of the Ridgeline installation. You can specify both scalar and tabular OIDs.
user/collections
You must also specify the set of devices (by IP address) that should be polled for this data, and provide
some additional properties such as the polling interval.
The file must have the following format:
collections.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<collections>
<collection name="CollectionName"
pollingIntervalInSecs="60"
initialState="running"
saveData="yes"
maxPollsPerDevice="50"
deletePercentage="25">
<table>
<oid name="variableName1" dataLabel="Label/description" />
</table>
<table>
<oid name="variableName2" dataLabel="Label/description" />
<oid name="variableName3" dataLabel="Label/description" />
</table>
<scalar>
<oid name="scalarVariable1" dataLabel="Label/description" />
<oid name="scalarVariable2" dataLabel="Label/description" />
</scalar>
<scope ipAddress="123.123.123.123" />
<scope ipAddress="234.234.234.234" />
