You can run a workflow to add a query to an SNMP device from the plug-in inventory.

Prerequisites

  • Verify that you are logged in to the vRealize Orchestrator Client as an administrator.
  • Verify that you have a connection to an SNMP device from the Inventory view.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to Library > Workflows and enter the snmp and query_management tags in the workflow search box.
  2. Locate the Add a query to an SNMP device workflow and click Run.
  3. Select the device to which you want to add the query.
  4. From the Type drop-down menu, select the query type.
  5. In the OID text box, enter the object identifier of the variable that you want to query.
    The following are example OID values.
    • 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0
    • .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0
    • iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0
    Note: The plug-in supports only OID values that are numerical or that begin with iso and continue with numbers.
  6. (Optional) In the Name text box, enter a name for the query.
    If you leave the text box blank, the type and OID parameters are used to generate a name automatically.
  7. Click Run.
