Identify the OID for a System Statistic or Trap

1. Review the Supported MIBs to determine which one contains the type of statistic you want. For example, the PAN-COMMON-MIB.my contains hardware version information. The panCommonEventEventsV2 MIB contains all the traps that Palo Alto Networks firewalls, Panorama, and WF-500 appliances support.
2. Open the MIB in a text editor and perform a keyword search. For example, using Hardware version as a search string in PAN-COMMON-MIB identifies the panSysHwVersion object:

   panSysHwVersion OBJECT-TYPE
   	SYNTAX DisplayString (SIZE(0..128))
   	MAX-ACCESS read-only
   	STATUS current
   	DESCRIPTION
   	"Hardware version of the unit."
   	::= {panSys 2}

3. In a MIB browser, search the MIB tree for the identified object name to display its OID. For example, the panSysHwVersion object has an OID of 1.3.6.1.4.1.25461.2.1.2.1.2.
