HP OpenView Web : MIB Browser Context Help

The HP OpenView Web MIB Browser allows you to view up to date MIB values for a managed node. The node that you want to view MIB values for must support SNMPv1 or SNMPv2C.

Navigation Frame

From the navigation frame, you can navigate up and down the MIB tree. Click on the value next to the up arrow to move up the MIB tree. The value next to the check mark indicates what is open. Click on one of the bulleted items under the open value to move down the MIB tree.

At the instance level, the MIB browser context displays the type, description, and value in the content frame.

Content Frame

Hostname

The MIB Browser window prompts you for a specific hostname. Specify a hostname and click the [Apply] button. Your current location in the MIB tree is displayed in the navigation frame with a check mark to the left of the name.

Object ID

The [Object ID] field contains the full path of the MIB variable.

(Community)

The [(Community)] text field allows you to specify the community name of the agent that is running on the selected node. This field is optional. If you do not type in a community name, NNM assumes the default of "public".

Type

This value will read Partial Object Name unless you are at the instance level. At the instance level, this will be the data type of the MIB instance.

Description

Specifies a description of the MIB variable.

Value

Specifies the results of the get operation on the managed node.
