The snmptranslate CLI application can be used to explore/traverse the OIDs in your InfoHub MIB. The snmptranslate command translates one or more OIDs in numeric form to textual form or vice versa. A typical syntax of the snmptranslate command in the SNMP Plugin is:
snmptranslate [<snmpcmd_common_options>] -m <MIBModule(s)> {-Tp|-Td} {-Oa|-On} [-IR] OID [OID]...-
-T Specifies the translation option. -Tp displays translation output in tree format. -Td displays tranlation output in full detail. For more information, see TRANSOPTS in the man page entry for snmptranslate.
-
snmpcmd_common_options snmpcmd_common_options are options and agent arguments that are common to most snmp commands. For more information, refer to the man page entry for snmpcmd.
-
-m Specifies a colon delimited list of MIB modules. If you are using the GT.M SNMP Plugin, you would specify -m INFOHUB-1-MIB as the InfoHub MIB module. The MIB acts as a dictionary that translates mnemonics, which are typically more user-friendly, into the numeric values used in the SMNP protocol. For more information, refer to the man page entry for snmpcmd.
-
-Oa Displays strings in ASCII form. -On displays output in numeric form. For more information on the -O option, refer to OUTPUT OPTION in the man page entry for snmpcmd.
-
OID OID is the object identifier of a monitored object in an MIB. If your monitored objects are in the InfoHub MIB module, you need to additional specify one of the four Views and an Object Index.
-
-IR Specifies the use of random access lookup to search the OID(s). It allows you to specify only the desired object rather than its fully qualified path. For more information, see INPUT OPTIONS in the man page entry for snmpcmd.
