• Outgoing Non-Unicast Packets: Analog sensor that reports the number of non-unicast packets sent
by the interface.
• Outgoing Octets: Analog sensor that reports the number of outgoing octets sent by the interface.
• Outgoing Unicast Packets: Analog sensor that reports the number of outgoing unicast packets sent
by the interface.
OID-Specific Monitoring
Device Crawlers provides two methods by which you can monitor individual OIDs on your SNMP
targets:
targets:
• Selecting OIDs surfaced using Device Definition Files
• Manually adding individual supplemental OIDs
Device Description Files (provided and periodically updated by APC) make it quick and easy to monitor
the environmental and physical data reported by some supported SNMP devices. Identifying and
monitoring a device’s individual OIDs can be a painstaking process. MIBs can contain thousands of
individual OIDs, and most of these are of little or no interest or use for monitoring purposes. Device
Description Files make it simple to monitor the environmental and physical data reported on supported
devices by automatically surfacing the OIDs that report data that is pertinent to environmental
monitoring, making the process of monitoring the condition of these devices far simpler.

If you want to monitor the values reported by OIDs on SNMP targets for which Device Definition Files is
not available, Device Crawlers also enables you to manually add supplemental OID data which can then
be monitored.

Enhanced Environmental Monitoring
Device Crawlers provides access to the environmental monitoring data that is stored in the MIBs of your
SNMP targets. This is accomplished in two ways:
SNMP targets. This is accomplished in two ways:
• Using Device Definition Files to quickly and easily surface environmental monitoring-oriented
OIDs on supported SNMP targets. Any information surfaced using a DDF will appear as a sensor
set named Advanced Details.
set named Advanced Details.
• Enabling monitoring of any user-specified and defined supplemental OIDs on an SNMP target
Enhanced Alert Notification
In addition to enhancing your ability to gather SNMP-based data from your SNMP targets, Device
Crawlers enables you to generate alert notifications when monitored OID values change. Using both the
Device Definition Files and the Supplemental OID functionality, you can extend your environmental
monitoring and notification abilities to include environmental conditions in and around all of your SNMP
targets as well as those around your devices.

Instructions for using the Device Crawlers task follow.
The SNMP Targets View
To define a new SNMP target (or modify a previously defined SNMP target) for use with Device
Crawlers:
Crawlers:
1. Launch the Device Crawlers task. In addition to the IP address/hostname and status of each selected
device, the Device Crawlers task's device selection window also includes one task-specific
information column: Target Count, which displays the total number of SNMP targets that have been
