How to see raw MIB information, Smarts Performance Manager uses for its calculations



Execute the following commands in: <basedir>/IP/smarts/bin

run:
./dmctl -s <PM DM name> invoke Interface::<Interface Name> findInstrumentation Performance
 or
./dmctl -s <PM DM name> invoke Interface::<Interface Name> findInstrumentation "MIB2 Performance Data"

For example:
./dmctl -s test-pm-60SP1 invoke Interface::IF-moto-gw.smarts.com/1 findInstrumentation Performance
 or
./dmctl -s test-pm-60SP1 invoke Interface::IF-moto-gw.smarts.com/1 findInstrumentation "MIB2 Performance Data"

It will return something like:
Interface_Performance_CiscoRouter_Ethernet::I-Interface_Performance_CiscoRouter_Ethernet-IF-moto-gw.smarts.com/1
or
NetworkAdapter_PerformanceData_MIB2::I-NetworkAdapter_PerformanceData_MIB2-IF-moto-gw.smarts.com/1 

Now run a get on that class and object you will get the raw data that we polled from the MIB:
./dmctl -s test-pm-60SP1 get Interface_Performance_CiscoRouter_Ethernet::I-Interface_Performance_CiscoRouter_Ethernet-IF-moto-gw.smarts.com/1
