OLLECTION
This utility can be used to collect SNMP data from the ServSensor JR
or other SNMP hosts. The program is configured through the use of
command line options and a text file OID.txt. The output of the data
collection is stored in a text file. The data output text file name includes
the IP address of the host being collected. For example data10.1.1.7.txt
is the file name for the data collection output when monitoring the
ServSensor JR with IP address 10.1.1.7. In this way you can collect
data from many different hosts in the same directory simultaneously.
Once the data has been collected it can be read into a spreadsheet such
as excel.
This utility is located in the folder \BLACK BOX_utilities\ datacollect in
the help CD.
Usage
DataCollect -IP -Pass [-Oid] [-Out] [-v] [-Poll]
where:
-IP x.x.x.x: The IP address of the host to collect data from
-Pass Community: The Read Community String
-Out FileName: Optional output filename
-v: Print the version of this software
-Poll: How often to collect data
How to collect data
Create a file called OID.txt in the same directory as the program
dataCollect. The file OID.txt contains a list of the OIDs that you wish
to collect data for. If you wish to run multiple data collections from the
same directory you can give each input file a different name such as
OID10.1.1.7.txt. In this case you will inform dataCollect.exe of the
new name by using the option -Oid nameOfTextFile. Each line
contains one OID. You may have comments following the OID.
