extension Keyword--Add Entries to the Extension Group

You can use the extension keyword to add entries in the Systems Management Empire MIB Extension group. Use the keyword in the sysedge.cf file to specify custom MIB objects to make available for monitoring.

Use the extension keyword to add entries to the extension group as follows:

extension LeafNumber Type Access 'Command'

LeafNumber

Specifies an extension variable number in the range of 1 through 2³² defined by this entry.

Type

Specifies the SNMP type for this entry. The supported types are as follows:

• Integer
• Counter
• Gauge
• Octetstring
• TimeTicks
• Objectid
• IPAddress

Access

Specifies the access type, which can be either read-only or read-write.

'Command'

Specifies a quoted string, 0 to 256 characters in length, that specifies the full path of the command that should be run (with any parameters). The command can be a platform independent extension name or full path of the command that runs when this variable is accessed through either a Get, GetNext or Set request. In case of platform independent extension the executable file named <ExtensionName> is searched in CASYSEDGE/extension/<ExtensionName>. If the command file is not currently accessible, the configuration of this variable fails.
