"If scalar OIDs need to be polled in the vendor certification, the definition of attributes changes slightly. If you are grouping scalar OIDs for better organization within an AttributeGroup, set the list variable to false (list=”false”). Or, omit the variable in the AttributeGroup tag definition. list=”true” in a vendor certification appends the index to the OID when polling. When you define the attribute source, append a ‘.0’ to the end of the OID. You can also have scalar OIDs defined outside of an AttributeGroup."
