Object Groups

Object Groups organize Objects together which may be implemented by a managed entity. For example, a network interface may contain attributes from the standard interfaces tables, ethernet tables and vendor-specific extension tables. These objects can be organized into a common object group so that they can be easily applied to applicable Device Groups.

The location of the object group definition files is specified by EF_INPUT_SNMP_OBJECT_GROUP_DEFINITIONS_DIRECTORY_PATH in the collectors configuration options. The default location is /etc/elastiflow/snmp/object_groups.
