Reporter
Custom Component Categories
5967–9446 123
To Create Custom Component Categories
1 Create a directory for each new component category
under /usr/netm/data/archives/components.
2 Create a format file in each new directory to specify the
collection metrics.
3 Configure data collection and create reports for the new
category.
The directory name is based on its category type where spaces in the
name are represented by the dot (.) character. The user can cut and paste
MIB expressions from the mibExpr.conf file or OIDs from the MIB
browser into the format file. Health Reporter allows you to collect data
from any MIB category. Reporter provides format files for Universal
MIB, Cisco Routers, Cisco Router Interfaces.
You can also display the reports using the Reporter Web Interface by cre-
ating your own glance, summary and detailed reports for each category
of data. You create these by copying and editing existing reports to use
the new category and data. Instructions for customizing web reports are
located on-line.
The format file defines the metrics used for data collection for each cate-
gory. A MIB variable OID or expression is supplied for each metric. Each
metric listed in the format file corresponds to a column of data in the ar-
chive file. There will be a limit of 50 columns. Columns beyond 50, are
ignored.
Each column definition requires the MIB OID comments, “#EXPR” and
“#UNITS”to configure collections by snmpCollect. Column definitions
without the MIB OID are ignored and filled with -1’s in the archive file.
The formats are:
#EXPR <expression>
#UNITS <unit name>
The <expression> represents an expression of OIDs similar to those used
in the OV mibExpr.conf file. They are any combination of OIDs and oper-
ators in postfix notation. For example, “A / (B + C)” is “A B C + /”, with A,
