[SNMP4J] Recommended client for monitoring SNMP tables?

[Paul Mellor]

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the tip - I've downloaded MIB Explorer, but unfortunately when
using the attached MIB file I'm encountering the following problems:

1) When importing the MIB, I'm encountering 4 instances of the following
syntax error: "Error 1000: Encountered "MAX-ACCESS"  Was expecting:
"ACCESS"...".  Can you see what the problem is?  My MIB newbie eyes can't
see any difference between my MIB and similar table definitions in other MIB
files.

2) If I go ahead and choose to import the MIB with the most lenient syntax
checks, I get the following exception when attempting to browse down through
the tree to the node for the defined table (which I concede may well be due
to the flawed MIB!):

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException

Apologies if this isn't the correct forum to discuss MIB Explorer issues,
but any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,

You have taken my MIB Explorer Pro into
account yet?

An evaluation version is available from
http://www.mibexplorer.com

The upcoming 3.0 release will get a DB
interface to put monitored values directly
into a SQL database (DB2, Oracle, MySQL,
etc.).

I am not sure if that is what you are
looking?

Best regards,
Frank
