NMIS Properties
NMIS uses further properties to control its operations, mostly things like SNMP-related identities, node active and collect flags, etc. The table below describes the most important properties that NMIS interprets or understands.
Whenever a node in opConfig or opEvents is refreshed/imported from NMIS, all of NMIS' node properties are also transferred. These properties are currently not used by opConfig or opEvents, but will show up when you export a node using opnode_admin. Your opEvents and opConfig policies can make use of these properties, you can edit them with opnode_admin (and, to some extent, via the GUI if you modify the configuration variables opevents_gui_node_summary_list and/or opconfig_gui_node_summary_list).
| Property Name | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| active | whether the node is active and handled by NMIS or should be ignored | ||
| collect | whether SNMP data should be collected from this node | ||

| port | which port to use for SNMP access (default: 161) | ||
| timezone | which timezone this system is in, numeric offset | ||
