Unknown variable (OID)

How does this program compile any mibs which is not known to its database. The OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.28.2.14.1.5 for Netware server ("nwserver.mib") requires to be compile to monitor an event.

How do I proceed?.

As far as I know, HostMonitor does not have a MIB database. It is just capable of sending snmp traps to the destination. MIB definitions are not used. You have to know the OID and the possible return values.

Marcus is right

Should I assume then that this porgram doesn t support that value?

Not exactly. If you type in some OID (e.g. 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.28.2.14.1.5) and receive error "Unknown variable (OID)" it does not mean HostMonitor does not support it. Because it is not HostMonitor's response, it is answer from SNMP agent.
In your message you did not say anything about any error. Do you receive error named in subject? Probably this OID represnts single-instance object, in this case you should add ".0": 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.28.2.14.1.5.0

So, it was multi-instance object (some table)?
