Replacing polled SNMP values through lookup table

[Schnark]

Hi All,

I've recently put in the HP server temp monitoring templates which have worked really well except for the location info for the temp sensor that's being passed through by the server is numerical rather than text based.

I've looked through the MIB and I can work out what the values are (e.g. 6 = cpu), but was wondering if someone could please point me in the right direction (Howto is fine) on how to dynamically interpret the SNMP results and re-write it to be text.

Everything else works a treat, I just want to add the icing to the cake.

Code currently is as follows:

<fields>
<hpHealthTempIndex>
<name>Index</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>input</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.8.1.2</oid>
</hpHealthTempIndex>
<hpHealthTempLocale>
<name>Locale of temperature sensor</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>input</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.8.1.3</oid>
</hpHealthTempLocale>


I plan to re-post the updated files back up here once i've fixed it.

Cheers,

Schnark

Probably It becomes possible from next major(?) release..

Or use a script query, like ss_host_disk.php.

Thanks will look at the scripted query.

Have you managed to get this working? We've been having to manually change the name on all the graphs to get it to display the probe it is monitoring.
