What is inst?

This read-only DisplayString is the name of the diagnostic instance and serves as the index for this row in the pattern table. An admin uses it to identify which specific diagnostic instance a given pattern name and description in the table apply to. A row with inst set to "disk0" would hold pattern-matching configuration specific to that disk instance in the hardware diagnostic suite.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.45.1.1.1.1.3.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HWDIAG-MIB2::inst

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.45.1.1.1.1.3.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HWDIAG-MIB2::inst.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> inst.1
