Reverse OID Lookup

The sysedge.oid file located in the config directory of the agent installation maintains default values for class, instance, and attribute properties of every supported SystemEDGE MIB attribute. The file uses the following conventions to assign default class, instance, and attribute values:

Class

Uses the MIB group or table name to which the attribute belongs.

Examples:

• kernelConfig
• userEntry

Instance

Uses the value 'null' for attributes that do not belong to a MIB table. For tabular objects, the agent derives the default instance value based on the value of a specific attribute or attributes from the MIB table.

Examples:

• value of devMntPt attribute (Device table)
• value of processName attribute (Process table)

Attribute

Uses the MIB attribute name.

Examples:

• devDevice
• maxProcs
