Generating the Watchpoint OID
You can send traffic-related metrics from Watchpoints to your SNMP manager. To send Watchpoint data, you create the SNMP Object Identifier (OID) for the Watchpoint and select the metrics that you want defined in the MIB.
Before you begin
Ensure that the Watchpoint for which you want to build an OID is exposed in the MIB. To do so, open the Watchpoint details and ensure that the Expose Watchpoint in MIB check box is selected, as shown in the following figure:
