Data Collection
is
obtaining useful information.
The issue is not: How do we collect data?
It is: How do we obtain useful data?

Data Collection Overview
NNM provides the ability to monitor MIB object valueson any managed node (with SNMP).
Why? Monitor what is critical to your business.
You customize the polling interval at which values aremonitored.
Polled values can be stored on the management
station.
Polled values can trigger events at thresholds youspecify.

Creating a MIB Expression
The first item is the MIB expression name. The second item is a description of the expression, enclosed in quotes. The third item is the MIB expression
dotted notation for the MIB object postfix notation
You add an expression to the mibExpr.conf file. You must then stop and restart the data collector configuration GUI, Options:Data Collection & Thresholds:SNMP.

An expression created from MIB objects allows you to look at
relationships between object or interpret values.MIB Expressions are defined in:%OV_CONF%\mibExpr.conf (Windows)$OV_CONF/mibExpr.conf (UNIX)To have new expressions available, stop and restart the data
collector configuration GUI.

Source and Collection Options
The source can be a list of nodes
or a wildcarded IP address range.
The Instances selector determineswhich interfaces snmpCollect gathersinformation about.

Multiple Node and Instances per
MIB Object
You can set multiple collectiondefinitions on a single MIB objectnode. When data collection isdone on a node that has numerousinstances, you can set up
collections on any number of theinstances.

Filtering Data Collection
You can filter the objects on whichsnmpCollect gathers data by enteringa filter name in theCollection Node Filter box inOptions:Data Collection and Thresholds.

Multiple sysObjectID
When collecting from a wildcardedList of Collection Sources, OnlyCollect on Nodes With
SysObjectID can be used to furtherrestrict from which nodes data iscollected.

Threshold and Rearm Events
Why? Configure special instructions for when yourthreshold/rearm events are received.
Default threshold/rearm event configurations only logevents in the threshold events category.
Default threshold event configuration isOV_DataCollectThresh (58720263).
Default rearm event configuration isOV_DataCollect_Rearm (58720264).
By default, when a data collection threshold is exceeded, an OpenView enterprise-specificevent with Specific Event ID (SID) 58720263 is generated. Similarly, rearm events aregenerated with an SID of 58720264. Matching event configurations for these two SIDsare defined in the Event Configurator.

You can configure these events to cause pop-up notifications or be forwarded, just as youwould configure any event.You can configure these events to cause pop-up notifications or be forwarded, just as youwould configure any event.

Turning Data Collections On and Off
Enable/disable collecting MIB object/expression dataon all sources via the Actions:Suspend (Resume)Collections menu item.
Enable/disable collection on individual sources bychoosing the Exclude Collection pop-up list item.
Suspend and ResumeTo disable the data collection for all sources, the easiest thing to do is to suspend the
collection. From the Options menu, select Data Collections and Thresholds toopen the list of data collections. Select the collection that you want to suspend, andselect Actions:Suspend. Remember to do a File:Save for this action to take effect.
If you later decide to begin collecting the data again, use the Actions:Resume function.

Exclude from CollectionIn some cases you may need to disable data collection only one or two systems. To do this
you need to tell the collection that it should not collect on a particular system. Again, openthe list of collections, select the collection you wish to change and select Edit:AddCollection. This allows you to define the specific systems on which data collection shouldbe excluded.

Monitoring Data Collection
Current Data
1. Display the Data Collection & Thresholds: SNMP dialog box by selecting theOptions:Data Collection & Thresholds: SNMP menu item.
2. From the top pane, select a MIB object/expression with a status of Collecting.
3. Select the Actions:Show Data menu item.

Historical Data
1. Graphically. Click [Graph] from the Data Collection & Thresholds / Show Data window.
2.ASCII file. From the command prompt, carry out the snmpColDump command against the file
containing the collected data. The collected data is in a file named MIBlabel.instance. There is
also an associated control file named MIBlabel.instance!. You can view the control file with
any editor. For viewing the collected data:
$OV_BIN/snmpColDump $OV_DB/snmpCollect/ifInOctets.1(on UNIX system)
or
%OV_BIN%\snmpColDump "%OV_DB%\snmpCollect\ifInOctets.1"

Interface Utilization:You can use the Interface Utilization graph tocompare the percentage of traffic flowing on the selected interfaces as compared tothe overall capacity of the interface.
Packet Rate:You can use the Interface Traffic Packet Rate graph todetermine the average number of packets sent or received on the node orinterface(s) over a period of time.
Throughput:You can use the Interface Traffic Packet Throughput graph todetermine the number of successful packets sent and received over the node orinterface(s) over a period of time.
Byte Rate:You can use the Interface Traffic Data Rate graph to determinethe average number of bytes that are received or transmitted over the selectednode or interfaces over some period of time.
