Abstract
Join us for this session that describes the value of increased
agility and shorter time to adopt new technologies through the
use of the self-certification capabilities provided with the CA
Unified Infrastructure Management SNMP Collector. When new
system technologies are implemented, the IT administrator can
create vendor certifications to rapidly begin monitoring those
technologies and to develop rich, meaningful metrics by adding
new device and MIB OID support to the SNMP Collector probe.
Attend this session to get the most out of the SNMP Collector
self-certification in the event that existing device metrics are
insufficient or if you have unsupported SNMP-enabled devices.

Overview
 Customize the out-of-the-box monitoring capabilities.
 Customize expressions associated with out-of-the-box
metrics.
 Accelerate monitoring of new vendor device without waiting
for official support.

Architecture

Key Definitions
Components
 Physical or logical subdivisions of device
that can be individually monitored
(e.g., CPU, Interface and Jitter)
Metric Families
 A set of metrics that define all of the
monitoring attributes for a particular
component

Key Definitions (cont’d)
Vendor Certifications
 A set of metric definitions for a device
containing vendor MIB OIDs and mapped
metric definitions
Metric Definition
 The raw or derived value of an OID
associated with a metric in a Metric Family

Vendor Certification—MIB File and OIDs
 Select SNMPCollector instance.
 Validate test device.
 Load MIB file for OIDs.
 Select required OIDs.
 Add OIDs to cart.
 Ready to create vendor certification.

Vendor Certification—Metrics and Metric Family
 Select a metric family.
 Select metrics in metric family.
 Associate OIDs with metrics.
 Modify expressions.
 Test expressions.
 Save vendor certification.
