Objectives for Polling for Values of Additional Attributes

This exercise is a complex example of using Dynamic Model. This example enhances the following
Domain Manager
s:
  • Global Manager
    The purpose of the exercise includes:
  • Polling for a new attribute.
  • Generating an event based on the value of the attribute.
  • Forwarding the new event to a
    Global Manager
    so that it can be displayed as a notification.
    This exercise should be performed on test versions of a
    ,
    ,
    ,
    , and
    Global Manager
    . Before starting this exercise, back up the repository on the test
    s.
    This exercise includes the following tasks:
  • Determine the instrumentation class that will be refined to poll for the new attribute.
  • Create and compile a dynamic model file:
    • Define an additional MIB variable that can be polled by the
      .
    • Define a setting class for the new attribute.
    • Refine an instrumentation class that will define the MIB OID to poll.
  • Subscribe to the event in the
    .
  • Add a new threshold setting to adapter-setting.asl.
  • Add the polled event to the
    Global Manager
    .
  • Load the dynamic model into the
    ,
    , and the
    .
  • Set up topology sources.
  • Discover an instance of the Router class.
  • Verify variable in Polling and Threshold dialog box.
  • Poll the values of the new attributes in real-time.
  • Generate an event based on the values of this polled attribute.
  • Have the
    Global Manager
    subscribe to and display notifications associated with the event based on the value of this polled attribute.
