An OID Recipe is a group of OID monitors that can be applied to different kinds of SNMP assets with the same asset type.

Prerequisites

You need to know the IP address of the network device you want to monitor, the specific OID(s), and the value type of those OIDs.

View OID Monitor Recipes

To locate your OID Monitor Recipes, navigate to the Assets & RMM tab/page, then select OID Recipes from the View button menu:

Syncro displays the OID Monitor Recipes table:

The table displays the hyperlinked Name of the OID Monitor Recipe (which you can click to Edit it), the associated Asset Type, and the number of OID Monitors within the OID Recipe. 

The Public Link column may contain two icons: click the linked chain icon to open a URL for the asset in a new browser tab, or click the clipboard icon to copy the public link. See Share OID Monitor Recipes.

Click the ellipses icon to display additional options, including the ability to Edit, Generate/Remove the Public Link, and Delete:
