Input Parameters

Agent Host

Defines the IP address or fully qualified domain name for the agent host. For example: 192.#68.1.254

To specify a port with the host name, use either of the following formats:

For example: comet.hq.company.com:10162

Community

Defines the community under which to access the variable (for example, public).

Object ID (OID)

Defines the object ID (OID) for the variable. The management information base (MIB) associated with a remote agent documents the OIDs. For example: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0

Retry Count

Defines how many times the product retries a failed request.

Time-Out Interval (secs)

Defines the interval in seconds the product waits for a Get SNMP variable before the operator times out.

Variable Type

Specifies a data type for the variable. To configure this parameter, select a value from the drop-down list.

Sleep Time (secs)

Defines the maximum interval in seconds between attempts to check the value of the watched variable.

SNMP Version

Specifies the SNMP agent version number. Select Version 1 or Version 2 from the list.

Low Value

Defines the minimum expected numerical value.

High Value

Defines the maximum expected numerical value.

Mask

Defines the pattern for which the operator searches (for more information, see the Content Designer Guide).

Separators (#) in the pattern delimit the text to save to operator dataset variables.

Separator

Defines the character that delimits the zone to save to the variables that variable names specify.

Variable Names

Defines the variable names in which to save text that matches the delimited zones in the pattern. The product saves delimited zones to the listed variables in order. The product uses the keyword process to access operator dataset variables through the process dataset.

For example, specifying the variable names V1 and V2 assigns extracted substring values to the operator dataset variables Process.Operator_name.V1 and Process.Operator_name.V2. To add, remove, and order the variables to store the matched strings, use the toolbar.

Case Sensitive Pattern Matching

Specifies whether to use case-sensitive pattern matching.

Selected: Match upper-case and lower-case letters in a pattern only with letters of the same case.

Cleared: Ignore case when matching the pattern.
