Poll Oid Manually?

Post by eqqchau »

Can we poll a specific OID on cacti manually?

Yes. By either using the 'SNMP - Generic OID Template' or by creating your own template:

Thanks for your reply.

One question, if the response is a string instead of a number, is it still possible?

This method is meant to return a number - not sure what you would do with a string.

Perhaps you could provide more info.
