Atera and OpenAI bring you AI-generated OID recommendations so you can eliminate guesswork and streamline SNMP device monitoring. For more information on OID monitoring, see Add OIDs for SNMP Device Monitoring

Add OID value

Add OIDs (Object Identifiers) for the specific parameters you want to monitor on your SNMP devices. OID values provide the status of the specific OID on the device. For example, you can use an OID for system uptime to check how long a device has been running or an OID for ink levels to monitor your printers. These values update every 2 minutes. Please note that the update interval for OID values cannot be changed. When adding an OID here, you will see the number of the OID displayed along with its current value on the device.

Note: OID values can be generated via AI or added manually.

To add an OID value:

1. From Devices, select the SNMP device.

The SNMP Device page appears.

2. Click Add OID.

The Add OID value window appears.

2. Select from:

• Generate OIDs with AI: Type what you need in plain language (e.g., "ink level"). Then click Generate to see the OID, it's value, and description.
• Manually discover OIDs: Enter the OID value (full or partial). Then click Discover.

3. Click Add OID.

The OID value is added. 

Edit OIDs

You can edit the OID description of generated OIDs.

You can remove OID values and thresholds, ensuring your focus remains on the essentials.

The Delete OID value confirmation window appears.

The OID is removed and will no longer generate alerts for the device.
