I see the article. I think I need apmGlobalConnectivityStatCurConns, but I need the numeric version of this OID. I can't get the snmptranslate to work.

Well, I take that back. I got snmptranslate to work. The numeric OID when queried returns a number that is not the same as what I am looking for.  apmGlobalConnectivityStatCurConns has a description of "The current connectivity sessions in the system", which I would think is the same as # show /apm licensecurrent connectivity sessions: xxx&nbsp;But the xxx above does not match the snmp returned value (in my case, command line show ed over 200 and I got 167 from SNMP. That description sure sounds right to me.
