![]() ![]() If the expressions are modified on the monitor in the GUI again, this proces will have to be repeated.(Basically, all SNMP-capable devices understand these 5 OIDs and others contained in this generic MIB). If you’re used to the MP Authoring Console, it’s easy to edit these values there instead of in the raw XML. Because there are two expressions in a two-state monitor, this has to be done for both expressions. To fix this, change the “Type” attributes for the ValueExpressions from “String” to “Integer” (or “Double” if dealing with non-integer numerical values). ![]() It’s ok to leave the SNMP value as a string varianttype, because we can force an implicit conversion to a numerical value in the expression. ![]() If we export the MP and look at the XML for the monitor (under the Configuration section), we will see that the value retrieved from SNMP is a varianttype 8 (string), but more problematically, the comparison is using “String” types for the values. The problem with stopping here is that SCOM will retrieve the SNMP value, and perform a “less than or equal to” comparison on the numbers as if they were text. We complete the second expression and set the Health State configuration to finish the monitor creation. We define the SNMP OID (1.3.6.1.11.11.0 in this case), and set up the error condition (less than or equal to 15). Start with creating the two-state SNMP probe monitor. The good news is that the fix is rather easy, just export the management pack, edit the type definitions in the XML file, and import it back.Īs an example, we can create a simple SNMP Event Monitor to alert on a low CPU idle value on non-Windows servers running net-snmp. If your health monitoring logic performs numerical comparisons, this will create unexpected and unreliable results, because the monitor will be performing comparisons on the numbers as strings, instead of as numerical data (if the system believes the values are strings, greater than and less than operators are concerned with alphabetical order, and not numerical comparisions). When creating some types of Unit Monitors (such as SNMP polls) in the OpsMgr GUI, SCOM will set the default type of the values in the expressions to be strings. ![]()
