Getting a string counter name from an object identifier
In order to use an object identifier (OID) for transferring information to third-party applications, you may need to get a string counter name from that OID.
To get a string counter name from an OID:
- Open the
adminkit.mib
file, that is located on the Administration Server, in a text editor. - Locate the namespace describing the first value (from left to right).
For example, for 1.1.4 OID suffix would be
"counters" (::= { kladminkit 1 })
. - Locate the namespace describing the second value.
For example, for 1.1.4 OID suffix would be
counters 1
, which stands fordeployment
. - Locate the namespace describing the third value.
For example, for 1.1.4 OID suffix would be
deployment 4
, which stands forhostsWithAntivirus
.
The string counter name is the concatenation of these values, for example, <MIB base namespace>.counters.deployment.hostsWithAntivirus
, and it corresponds to the OID with the value of 1.3.6.1.4.1.23668.1093.1.1.4.
