select it.

3. Click Next. A list of available Device Definition Files (including version numbers) appears. Select

one or more DDFs that you want to install and use with Advanced Device Crawlers and then click

Next.

4. A list of the DDFs you have selected appears. Click Next to download and install the selected

DDFs.

After you have installed a Device Definition File any previously added targets that are defined by the

contents of the DDF will now have the Advanced Data sensor set available.

The Supplemental OIDs Pane

Even if advanced data is not available for some of your SNMP targets, you can still configure Device

Crawlers to monitor individual OIDs on your target. While not as simple as using the surfaced OID data

provided by a Device Definition File in an Advanced Data sensor set, you can use the Add Supplemental

OID function to manually configure Device Crawlers to monitor any valid OID on your SNMP targets.

The Supplemental OID view displays a list of any currently defined supplemental OIDs, as well as a user-

defined description of the OID.

To add a supplemental OID:

1. Click Add. The Add Supplemental OID window opens.

2. Type in the OID field the OID that you want to monitor on the selected SNMP target (for example,

“1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.2”).

3. Type in the Description field a description of the OID (for example, “UPS Temperature”).

4. Click OK. Device Crawlers will then query the SNMP target to determine whether the OID you

entered is valid and if so to determine what sort of data is returned by the OID, whether the data can

be treated as an analog sensor or a state sensor, and so forth. If the OID is valid it will be added to

the Advanced Data sensor set.

Once the supplemental OID has been added, it will automatically be detected on any SNMP target to

which it applies, and you can easily monitor and receive alert notifications for it just like any other

monitored value on a pod or SNMP target. To configure thresholds on values reported by a supplemental

OID you must select the device to which the supplemental OID was added and then use either the Other

Numeric Sensors or Other State Sensors task (depending on the nature of the data that is provided by the

supplemental OID) to define thresholds for the sensor.
