Template file of the RRD Collector Wizard

The Template_List.xml file is used to store the setting of the tree in the snmp configuration wizard. The wizard helps the user to select a set of snmp object ID to graph in the RRD Collector plugin. The file can be extended at will and provide a fast way for selecting new set of snmp objets in few clicks.

The XML schema definition file is given below:

 

Structure of the wizard template file

The wizard template file is built with nodes that create the tre structure. A node <node> contains a node name <node_name> and either another node or a leaf object.

<Node>
     <Node_Name>Spanning Tree protocol - IEEE 802.1d</Node_Name>
     <Leaf>
     ....
     </Leaf>
     <Leaf>
     ....
     </Leaf>
</Node>
<Node>
      <Node_Name></Node_Name>
      <Node>
           <Node_Name></Node_Name>
           <Node>
                 <Node_Name></Node_Name>
          </Node>
      </Node>
</Node>

 

Structure of the leaf node

 <Leaf> Tag tha enclose the settings of a leaf node
<Leaf_Name> the leaf node name
<Tpl_Description> A description for that leaf entry
<MIB_File> the MIB file required for displaying this snmp object correctly
<Y_Legend> The legend used for this template and later on into the RRD graph
<Leaf_Type>

The snmp object type

TABLE A snmp object table (indexed objects)
COLUMNS Some columns of a snmp table(indexed objects)
OBJECT Simple non indexed snmp objects

 

<OID name="name ">

A snmp object in a LoriotPro short format (example: ifinoctets) or reduced format (example of reduced format: mib_description:object_name).

The attribut storing the object description use in the graph legend

Name="Network Interface"
