Description of oidInfo.conf

The OID Info tool is a utility, which when invoked against any discovered device, would gather a set of OIDs associated with it along with the corresponding drivers and instrumentation classes.

Before the tool is run, edit the smarts/conf/discovery/oidInfo.conf file in order to specify against which devices the tool needs to gather OID data and other particulars like the instrumentation class names and the probes names.

The Smarts IP Manager User Guide and the Smarts IP Manager Concepts Guide provide more information on the OID Info tool.
