snmp_variables - format of specifying variable names to SNMP tools
SYNOPSIS
system.sysdescr.0
DESCRIPTION
Variable names for SNMP are in the format of Object Identifiers (ASN.1). There are several methods of representation. Each variable name is
given in the format of A.B.C.D...., where A, B, C, and D are subidentifiers in one of two forms of notation. Each subidentifier can be
encoded as a decimal integer or a symbol as found in the RFC 1066 MIB. The case of the symbols is not significant. If there is no leading
period (.) in the variable name, the name will be formed as if having been preceded with iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib. .
A period must be placed before the first variable if the user is to fully specify the name. For example:
1.1.0
system.sysDescr.0
1.sysDescr.0
...all refer to the same variable name. Likewise:
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0
.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib.system.sysdescr.0
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.sysdescr.0
...all refer to the same variable name.
The description of the variables in the MIB is given in the set of MIB files defined by the MIBS environment variable (or the default list
defined at compilation time) and the MIB files in the /etc/sma/snmp/mibs directory (or the MIBDIRS environment variable).

SYNOPSIS
system.sysdescr.0
DESCRIPTION
Variable names are in the format of Object Identifiers (ASN.1). There are several methods of representation. Each variable name is given
in the format of A.B.C.D..., where A, B, C, and D are subidentifiers in one of two forms of notation. Each subidentifier may be encoded as
a decimal integer, or a symbol as found in the RFC1066 MIB. The case of the symbols is not significant.
If there is no leading "." in the variable name, the name will be formed as if having been preceded with "iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib.".
A "." must be placed before the first variable if the user is to fully specify the name. For example:
1.1.0 system.sysDescr.0 and 1.sysDescr.0
all refer to the same variable name. Likewise:
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib.system.sysdescr.0 .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.sysdescr.0
All refer to the same variable name.
The description of the variables in the MIB is given in the set of MIB files defined by the MIBS environment variable (or the default list
defined at compilation time) and the MIB files in the /usr/share/snmp/mibs directory (or the MIBDIRS environment variable).

BUGS
The parser of the MIB files file is not expected to handle bizarre (although correct) interpretations of the ASN.1 notation.

hello,
i'd like to evaluate the process list of an AXI 5.3 system via snmpv3.
The problem is, that there's no data below the specified branches:

in /etc/mib.defs it is defined as hrSWRun / hrSWRunPerf
The user's viewgroup is iso. (1.).
