snmp_queries and oid_suffix

[calvin5267]

I am a newbie here. snmp_queries XML files have always given me grief.

<name>Get Raritan PX3-4610R Outlet Values</name>
<oid_index>.1.3.6.1.4.1.13742.6.3.5.3.1.2.1</oid_index>
<index_order>index</index_order>
<index_order_type>numeric</index_order_type>
<fields>
<index>
<name>Index</name>
<source>index</source>
<direction>input</direction>
</index>
<outletrmsVoltage>
<name>rmsVoltage</name>
<method>get</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>input</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.13742.6.5.4.3.1.6.1</oid>
<oid_suffix>4</oid_suffix>
</outletrmsVoltage>
</fields>

I have simplified my file down to just one value and changed direction to "input" for debugging.

That's doing exactly what I expect and want. But when I turn the <direction>output</direction> and make graphs, the data sources never end up in the poller cache and no rrd files are created. Graphs for the same host that use other snmp_query files seem to work properly.

Cacti Version 0.8.8h
SNMP Version NET-SNMP version: 5.7.2
RRDTool Version RRDTool 1.4.x
Type SPINE 0.8.8h
PHP Version 5.6.40
PHP OS Linux

I think perhaps I have posted prematurely.
I found a discrepancy in my data query definition that needs further investigation first.

I'm not even sure I could install Cacti 0.8.8h any longer

The embarrassment of the premature post has made me reluctant to do so over the past 22 years.
I gave in today and posted; and seconds later found a new rabbit hole.

Happy Holidays.

Yea, we've been doing this a long time right? Same to you!
