The PRTG SNMP Custom Table Sensor is a specialized tool used for monitoring tabular data from SNMP-enabled devices. Here are some common usages and configurations for the SNMP Custom Table Sensor:

1. Customized Monitoring: The primary use of the SNMP Custom Table Sensor is to monitor specific tabular data structures (MIB tables) from SNMP-enabled devices that are not covered by built-in sensor types. This allows for tailored monitoring solutions that meet the unique requirements of different devices and systems.

2. Custom OID Queries: Define custom OID queries to retrieve tabular data from SNMP-enabled devices. This includes querying standard MIB tables provided by device vendors or creating custom MIB tables if necessary. The sensor retrieves data from multiple OIDs and organizes it into a tabular format for monitoring.

3. Tabular Data Monitoring: Monitor various tabular data structures such as ARP tables, routing tables, VLAN tables, interface statistics tables, and custom vendor-specific tables using the SNMP Custom Table Sensor. This provides insights into network topology, device configurations, and operational status.

4. Custom Table Structure: Define the structure of the custom table by specifying the OIDs for each column and configuring column names, data types, and units. This allows for flexible customization of the sensor to match the structure of the SNMP data being monitored.

5. Threshold-based Alerting: Set up threshold-based alerts to be notified when monitored metrics from the custom table exceed predefined thresholds. You can configure different alerting levels (e.g., warning and error) based on the severity of the issue.

6. Scheduled Scans: Configure scheduled scans to periodically retrieve tabular data from SNMP-enabled devices using the SNMP Custom Table Sensor. This ensures continuous monitoring of device metrics without manual intervention.

7. Customizable Monitoring Intervals: Adjust the monitoring interval of the SNMP Custom Table Sensor based on the desired level of monitoring granularity or the importance of monitoring specific metrics in real time.

8. Integration with Maps and Dashboards: Visualize the status of SNMP Custom Table Sensors on maps and dashboards within PRTG Network Monitor. This provides a centralized view of tabular data across the network.

9. Historical Analysis: Utilize historical data collected by SNMP Custom Table Sensors to analyze trends in tabular data over time. This helps in understanding data patterns, identifying anomalies, and making informed decisions about network management.

10. Multi-device Monitoring: Deploy SNMP Custom Table Sensors across multiple devices to monitor diverse tabular data from various devices within the network. This enables comprehensive monitoring solutions that cover the entire network infrastructure.

By leveraging the capabilities of the SNMP Custom Table Sensor in PRTG Network Monitor, you can effectively monitor tabular data from SNMP-enabled devices, customize monitoring solutions to meet specific requirements, and ensure the reliability and performance of your network infrastructure.
