Overview of how to get OIDInfo via CLI, or via the GUI, in Smarts

 

Environment

Smarts 10.1.X

Resolution

To run the Smarts IP OIDInfo tool via CLI, do the following:

• Open the oidInfo.conf configuration file found in: 

<BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/conf/oidinfo/

• for editing using sm_edit like below: 

sm_edit ../conf/oidinfo/oidInfo.conf

•  Add the class and the name of the device along with the information to display (Discovery or Monitoring) as in the following:

Switch        ab1def-ghij.jklmno.com            Monitoring             *
Switch        abc.def.com                       Discovery              *
Router        ghijklmno.pqr.stu.com             Discovery              *
Switch        host-x.x.x.x                      Discovery              *

• Save and close the oidInfo.conf configuration file.  This will save the file in the following directory:  

<BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/local/conf/oidinfo/

• Then execute the sm_oidInfo.pl Perl script using sm_perl from <BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/bin as follows: 

sm_perl sm_oidInfo.pl -s <domain name> 

• The script will generate output similar to the following, concluding with an *.txt output file:

Broker                : x.x.x.x:1217
Server Name           : NAME-IP-92
Gather the OIDs and descriptions
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Read input device file succesfully

Connected to: NAME-IP-92

Will gather info for  <Switch><host-x.x.x.x><Discovery><*>
        We will now gather OID data for
        <Switch><host-x.x.x.x><Discovery><*>
        Completed gathering OID data

We have completed collecting all OID data.
Please find the info in the following file(s)
:>/data/redhat5/IP/IP92/IP/smarts/local/logs/oidInfoLogs/Switch_host-x.x.x.x.txt

•  Navigate to the Switch_host-x.x.x.x.txt output file above and you will see the OID that is used to poll in Smarts.

 

To do so from the Smarts UI:

• From the Domain Manager Administration Console click on OIDInfo like below:

• This will bring up this table:

• Then save the table to a file like below:

• Command template:

  ./sm_adapter -s IPDomain  -Doid=".SYSOId" utils/ic-oid-info.asl 
  

• Example of the above command:

  example: ./sm_adapter -s INCHARGE-AM-PM  -Doid=".1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.3148" utils/ic-oid-info.asl |tee > .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.3148.out
