Issue/Introduction

No components created for extended/custom Vendor Certification.
Metric Family/Vendor certification is shown as supported in the Polled Metric Families list

Environment

Release : 20.2, 21.2

Component : PM Discovery

Cause

One OID in the Vendor Certification (VC) Extension is not configured as the correct type returned by the device MIB.

For example, the OID is configured as a type of Long in the VC extension, but the OID is actually an OctetString in the device MIB as seen in an SNMP walk output.

Resolution

Correct the Vendor Certification (VC) extension to use the correct data type for the OID in question
