https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/hp-mib-database/m-p/4059495#M28973 Hi,<BR /><BR />In our environment we use HP Management Agents for Server (Windows 2003) but NOT Insight Manager. <BR /><BR />We want to monitor a couple of things among which the remaining disk space. Using the Insight Homepage web tool, we were able to set thresholds on "% disk space used". However, we'd rather monitor available disk space in Mb so I looked at the knots and bolts behind the thresholds and noticed that it was set in the SNMP MIB CPQTHRSHLD. Then I modified the snmp table row (using snmpset commands) to effectivelly monitor the disk space in Mb. <BR /><BR />First it worked fine and I got alarms when going over the threshold. But then I noticed one of the string field that I modified read "test2" instead of "test". After a couple of tests, I noticed that for some reason snmp set commands sometime add junk characters at the end of the strings I want to set. I haven't been able to explain this but it's not too bad (but maybe it's linked to the following trouble). <BR />What's bad is that the row that I modified previously, now seems to be stuck: whenever I try to change one of the values it gives me a "general failure" and the monitoring does not work either.<BR /><BR />I tried to uninstall the Management Agents, reboot and reinstall, but the values where still there. So my question is where are the values kept? is it in a file on the drive that I could get rid of/edit myself? is it in the registry?

By manually modifying the data you're effectively corrupting the data.
