create new data query

[cscacti]

we have a problem with creating a new rittal cmc based data query.
we used the cmc template from the forums but that template wont work for the device we have.

the problem is that the snmp information are totally different or some values are just no exported through snmp ( like the index values ).

###this is the newly created data query###
[root@ctr91 snmp_queries]# cat rittal3_cmc.xml
<interface>
<name>Get CMC Sensors - Version 1</name>
<description>Queries a cmc unit for the number of possible sensors</description>

<fields>
<CMCSensorValue>
<name>Value</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>output</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.2606.1.1.1.0</oid>
</CMCSensorValue>
<CMCSensorSetHigh>
<name>SetHigh</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>input</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.2606.1.4.4.0</oid>
</CMCSensorSetHigh>
<CMCSensorSetLow>
<name>SetLow</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>input</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.2606.1.4.5.0</oid>
</CMCSensorSetLow>
</fields>
</interface>

this wont retrive any data from the cmc host.
when adding the data query to a host and getting the debug information i get this:
###

for the xml query do i need more fields to be filled out? eg. in the original cmc template from (http://forums.cacti.net/about6848.html).
the problem is that some information exported from MIB is missing like the index fields, the type, the status of the device..etc..
here is the MIB for the device http://www.mibdepot.com/cgi-bin/getmib3 ... =0&obj=cmc

what information are mandatory for creating a data query?

any help would be appreciated.

Please see instructions at 1st link of my sig on how to create SNMP Data Queries

in your how to do all i can find is that i need index fields in the MIB for the CMC to get this to work at all - right?

cause the problem is that i do not have index fields in the MIB. see the snmpwalk outout.

and here is the MIB with index fields (http://www.mibdepot.com/cgi-bin/getmib3 ... =0&obj=cmc) but our are not here - why?! i dont understand that.

This in fact does not look like an snmptable; at least it would be a weird one.
In this case, please refrain from using the Data Query approach and use the "copy of the Single OID Template" approach. There's a walkthrough for it as well
