Read remote SNMP OIDs into local objects. This page creates a map entry that reads data from remote SNMP agents for processing here. Click on map number to see more detail and insert/delete rules.

Rule number simply tells you where you're at on the list of OID maps. Click "next" and "prev" to scroll through the list. To advance directly to a specific map, enter the desired number in the "Showing" box, then click Update.

Rules entered on this page only read data from remote devices. Go to the Client Write Map to write data to those devices. The full parameter set is different for read versus write.

An abbreviated version of a list of rules is shown on this page. Any of the parameters shown may be changed here and registered by clicking the Update button. To view and/or modify the complete set of parameters, click on the map number in the left most column.

For each remote OID to be read, enter the full SNMP OID and location (device). The names in the device list are defined in the Devices page.

Data hint helps the data parser figure out what the varible is. If ASN encoding is recognized as other than an octet string, the hint will be disregarded. If an octet string is found, then the parser needs to know if it should be treated as RFC 6340 floating point. If no hint is given (standard ASN), then the octet string will be treated as an ASCII character string, in which case ASCII to numeric conversion will be attempted automatically if the result object is numeric. Note that standard, well-known ASN types are recognized as well as the NetSnmp ASN type for opaque float.

Entering zero (none) for local object effectively deletes the rule even though it will still appear in the list until deleted. Unused rules at the end of the list will always show none as the type.
