Anyone know where sysObjectID is?

[#1]

Help!  I cannot find where in the NetMRI API that the sysObjectID is located.  I would like to include this in a report.

Thanks!

Hmm. I think you’ll probably find it in the DeviceProperties which is a sort of catch-all for random scalars.

[#3]

Yeah!  You are correct!  Thanks John!

https://netmri/api/3/device_properties/search?DeviceName=blahblahblah

<device_property>

<DataSourceID type="int">0</DataSourceID>

<DeviceID type="int">3344</DeviceID>

<DevicePropChangedCols nil="true"/>

<DevicePropEndTime nil="true"/>

<DevicePropIndex/>

<DevicePropName>sysObjectID</DevicePropName>

<DevicePropSource>SNMP</DevicePropSource>

<DevicePropStartTime type="datetime">2011-12-17 16:23:45</DevicePropStartTime>

<DevicePropTimestamp type="datetime">2017-02-16 14:00:14</DevicePropTimestamp><DevicePropValue>1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.283</DevicePropValue>

<DevicePropertyID type="int">3292</DevicePropertyID>

<SecureVersion nil="true"/>

<_class>DeviceProperty</_class>

</device_property>

So, to finish this up what I did was created a quick perl script to export the device model information along with the OID and cross-match to a list of supported devices provided by Infoblox which was by OID and equipment model.

(Disclaimer - I've attached the list from Infoblox, I am not liable for it's contents. For an updated list please consult with Infoblox)

Hi Lon, Just following on from this, has anything changed in V7.3.3

I wrote a small Perl script to pull off the (or so I hoped) the sysObjectID based on this thread.

The script (part that relates to it) is;

my ($deviceprop) = $easy->broker->device_property->index();

# print the device as it is found
print "dumpprop: " . Dumper($deviceprop);

What I get is the following;

dumpprop: bless( {
DataSourceID => 2,
DeviceID => "8170202663844258315",
DevicePropChangedCols => undef,
DevicePropEndTime => undef,
DevicePropIndex => "",
DevicePropName => "rttMonApplVersion",
DevicePropSource => "SNMP",
DevicePropStartTime => "2016-07-22 03:44:18",
DevicePropTimestamp => "2019-09-11 21:28:46",
DevicePropValue => "2.2.0 Round Trip Time MIB",
DevicePropertyID => "160096916269578",
SecureVersion => undef,
_client => 2
}, 'NetMRI::API::Remote::V3_2_0:eviceProperty' )

I was expecting DevicePropValue to contain the sysObjectID, 

However it lists;

DevicePropValue => "2.2.0 Round Trip Time MIB",

Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks

You should be able to see a <DevicePropName>sysObjectID</DevicePropName> in the output.  Try the api call from your browser.  Also be sure that it is a supported device.  The call returns an array of device_properties, which would include things like sysdesc, sysname, snmpstatus, etc.

Thanks for the reply Lon, Maybe looking in the wrong area. I'm missing the other snmp objects you mention also.,

Try another deviceID, one that is a supported switch or router.  If that doesn't work, maybe best to open a case with Infoblox.
