    You can select the Name-Value Pair type as Simple, Rate, or Math. If you select the type as Rate, you must specify OIDs of types GAUGE or COUNTER. If you select the type as Math, you must specify a formula.

    Specifying a Formula: The OIDs listed in the table are numbered from 0,1,2 and so on. They are preceded by the data identifiers v, the current value of the OID; and h, indicating the previous value of the OID. You can use +, -, /, *, ^, () operands when you specify your formula. You can also use constants in your formula.

    For example: Select the OIDs snmpInPkts (1.3.6.1.2.1.11.1) and snmpOutPkts (1.3.6.1.2.1.11.2). The formula can be v0+v1. The result will be the total number of SNMP packets handled by the transport service.
