SNMP Query (String) service
The SNMP Query (string) service, formerly called Generic String (SNMP), will collect any OID using a configurable OID parameter field. It is returned as a string in N-able N-central's database regardless of the original SNMP data type. Thresholds cannot be applied to Generic String.

| ObjectID - .1.3.6.1 | The unfinished OID. Append the rest of the dotted decimal values that correspond to the SNMP object you wish to query to this unfinished OID. For example, if the OID is .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8, enter .2.1.2.2.1.8. You must also include the index. For example, to collect the sysDescr system description, enter 2.1.1.1.0 in this field. |
You can set the service to monitor any variable by using the SNMP. This service monitors one value at a time by allowing you to specify the SNMP object identifier (OID) and the index of the object that you would like to monitor.
