I’m trying to add an RSSI reading to a devices display (in the window that appears when you hover the mouse over the element). It’s for a Trango backhaul and I have the OID. How do I go about doing this?
Is the only place that you can add the label in the global preferences for the MAP? I added TEMP: and did an OID insert but that didn’t work.
Do I need to write a function? I can’t find documentation on functions?
Can you specify a different display for each device type. i.e, for an AP, certain values are displayed and for a router, another set will be displayed. Again, I’m referring to the window that appears when you place the cursor over a device.
Next question:
How do you defind what SNMP IODS are avialable for a device type. For instance, when you select a device that is set a router device, the SNMP tab has interface, IP, arp, etc. But when you look into Devices->Types (the tab for setting up new device types or configuring existing) and look at the router device, I don’t see any of that specified. Actually, all devices have the same list. What am I missing? Can this be configured?

Well, it should. You can try to do ‘Snmp Walk’ on that device to see if such OID is actually available on the device.

No, in general you don’t need to write a function, but might want to look at some functions. You can get some description and information on parameters for builtin functions in Functions window.

Currently this can be configured only in Server Settings.

Those tables are hard coded into program and cannot be configured. For list of all SNMP tables available on device do ‘SNMP walk’.
You’re thinking in my way.
There are same SNMP tables for every device, I don’t need ‘wireless stations’ table for windows computer. Instead, I need for example list of installed programs and running processes… Can I somehow put my own table in the list?
Also, it would be nice to be able to add more information for the device when I place cursor over device.
OK. I did some more experiments and it got it to work for elements that support the OID. However, I am running into the issue that I mentioned in another thread about needing to get SNMP information from another Element. The current DUDE implementation will not support this functionality as I would have to specify the IP address in the OID. Since the OID is in the server->MAP preferences, there isn’t a work around. It would be ideal if you could specify the fields to display in the device type instead of the Server settings. Each device is different and shoule be configurable or the list will be huge with a bunch of non applicable items. Is this functionality going to be added?

Is this design going to be changed to allow adding entities?
