2.3.1 User resources that can be defined
You can define the following as company resources: company-specific MIB objects, that are implemented by another vendor's SNMP agent, and user-specific MIB objects, that are created by using the user extension MIB definition function of the ESA The following table lists the types of MIB objects that can be collected as user resources.

In contrast with the MIB object type definition, the MIB value might substantially have the nature of the Counter type (a cumulative value that increases under certain conditions, and whose increase per unit of time is meaningful). In this case, make sure that you define Counter as the object type in user resources.
- #2
-
If the MIB value substantially has the nature of the Gauge type (for which an absolute value is meaningful) in contrast with the MIB object type definition, make sure that you define Gauge as the object type in user resources.
You can incorporate multiple MIB objects to be obtained and then use the resulting calculation value as the user resource value. In this case, the possible resource value is a real number from -18,446,744,073,709,552,000 to 18,446,744,073,709,552,000.
