Collect MIB Data for IP Nodes

You can collect data on MIB attributes you make available to the IPNODE resource class.

IP node attributes are included in monitor groups. One IP node monitor group includes attributes that are monitored for many IP nodes. If you only want to collect data on the attributes you added for specific nodes, consider creating a group and include the attributes in that group. You can then attach the node or range of nodes for which you want to collect the MIB attribute data to the new group.

To collect MIB data for IP nodes

1. Include the required attributes in the IP node monitor group:
   1. Enter /IPADMIN.N at the prompt.

      The IP Node Monitor Group List appears.

   2. Enter U next to the IP node monitor group for which you want to collect MIB data.

      The Monitor Group Details panel appears.

   3. Press F4 (Add).

      The available attributes are listed.

   4. Type S next to the attributes for which you want to collect data, and press Enter.

      The attributes are added to the group.

   5. (Optional) Update the attributes for alerting requirements.
   6. Press F3.

      The settings are saved.

2. Enable data collection:
   1. Enter /IPNODE.

      The IP Node Monitor appears.

   2. Enter CHK next to the IP nodes in the group.

      Data collection starts for the added attributes, and ReportCenter receives the data.

   3. (Optional) Wait for a minute or two, then enter H next to the nodes.

      The monitored attributes are listed, showing that data are being collected.
