|---|---|
| Metric Name | Name of the metric you're defining. |
| Type | Type of monitor for which you're creating the plugin. |

These values may include metrics like CPU utilization or memory usage, represented by specific OIDs. - Tabular OIDs represent sets of related data, presented in a table format. These tables might include information about interfaces, network routes, etc. |
| OID Name | Assign a descriptive name to each OID, representing the metric or data you want to monitor. For example, you can use "CPU (%)" for CPU utilization. |
