Guidance on loading SNMP MIB for pattern designer

objective: discovery and classify a Nasuni linux file server that utilizes SNMP MIBs.
possible issues with discovery: 1. unsure about credentials to the server (which we'll work on).  2. uncertain about loading a MIB

main question is regarding MIBs
Attempting to utilize this video to create a pattern for the Nasuni filer but am getting hung up on not being able to see the MIB file in pattern designer (at least that is one hangup). 

I have attached the MIB as a no-extension record that is simply named alphanumeric with no special characters. it appears fine and i did restart the MID server.
current state of discovery: it sees the IP i'm hitting with quick discovery, here but does not Identify (gets stuck in Identification)

I've followed threads on community and docs: https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/sandiego-it-operations-management/page/product/discovery/task/t_LoadAMIBModule.html
i have used the Grab logs related link on the MID server to generate the logs. Then i went to ECC Queue and filtered by [Source] [is] [grabLog] according to https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/sandiego-servicenow-platform/page/product/mid-server/concept/ecc-queue-mid-server.html#manage-ecc-queue-content
There is an agent0.log.0 and 2 agent0.log.1 files along with a wrapper.log file. Which of these should i expect to see messages pertaining to the loading of uploaded MIBs? So far i've not isolated messages pertaining to the particular MIB i've uploaded to midserver SNMP MIBs. I've tried searching the payloads in the log files and searching for keywords that match the name of the MIB file but not finding anything.

What can i do to to confirm if the MIB was even processed or if there were errors pertaining to them NOT being processed, as it doesnt show up in the pattern designer? what should i expect to see in the logs? Will i see the name of the MIB in the logs? what kind of error or confirmation log message do i look for? i've attached a screenshot from the youtube mentioned above that captures an example log message that the video creator saw but i am not seeing such messages when i look (so i'm either looking in the wrong place, or system isn't generating those messages, or theres an issue with the MIB processing).

 

much appreciated in advance, thanks!

I actually was able to find mine - opened the MIB file in notepad++ and ctrl+f'd for "definitions" -- the actual name of the MIB was listed there; ns-root-mib DEFINITIONS : := BEGIN.

 

Then I realized that was in the selectable list

This response was super unclear in my excitement - but basically, the MIB I loaded had the same name, NS-ROOT-MIB as another. I had to go into the MIB config file and switch the name to NS-ROOT-MIB2 for it to appear. 

Thanks Jack, will try to check that out to see if that works for us too as time permits (which i'm afraid lately has not been very 'permitting' ha - but being busy is a good problem to have).

Again thanks for your tip! Helpfuls granted. 🙂
