Generating Readable Raw OID Data Collections

You can use the set system log-vital add oid comment “comment” command to make raw object identifiers (OIDs) that are lengthy and unreadable easily understood.

[edit system]

log-vital {add oid {comment comment;}}

The OID parameter can be formatted as mib-table.index. For example, jnxOperating1MinLoadAvg.9.1.0.0 is an OID.

The “comment” parameter describes the OID. If “comment” is present, the comment instead of the OID is generated as the subject of the vital data.

For example, without the “comment” parameter, the output of the set system log-vital add jnxJsPolicyNumber.0 command in the dump file is:

===========
jnxJsPolicyNumber.0              1
===========

With the “comment” parameter, the output of the set system log-vital add jnxJsPolicyNumber.0 comment “Total Policy Number” command in the dump file is:

===========
Total Policy Number               1
===========

Note: For OIDs that are temporarily unavailable, the string NA is generated for them and the system continues to get their values for every collection. In this case, the output displayed in the dump file is:

 ===========
Total Policy Number               NA
===========
