[SOLVED] Need Help Creating Custom Data Query

[cdoyle1]

I'm trying to create a custom data query for a couple of OIDs that use a different index than the standard ifIndex. Below is my XML file and the output of running a verbose query. I don't get why it stops at the "Executing SNMP walk for data @..." line and doesn't continue to actually do the walk for the index and then the two output OIDs. It returns 0 items and 0 rows. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Code: Select all

<query>
        <name>Get Ciena CESD Optical Power</name>
        <description>Queries a host for a list of monitorable interfaces</description>
        <oid_index>1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.60.4.1.1.1.1.1</oid_index>
        <index_order_type>numeric</index_order_type>

        <fields>
                <wwpLeosPortXcvrId>
                        <name>Index</name>

I figured out what was wrong. The device was timing out when trying to run the query using the default timeout of 500 ms. I bumped the timeout up to 1000 ms and that resolved the issue. I'm not sure why the device needs a longer timeout for this query and not the standard SNMP interface query though as there are far fewer OIDs in this query and I have no issues running the snmpwalk from the command line.
