I have extended a linux snmpd for some values cacti needs to get.
Not a big deal worked fine for me in the past.
Currently (using the newest Version of Cacti in Debian unstable Repository (0.8.8.ds1-5)+PHP 7.0.11-1) i have problems entering the OID which cacti needs to poll.
if i enter for example:
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutLine."dsls".1
after submitting it´s changed to :
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutLine.\"dsls\".1
which then got no result from the snmp server.
if you save it in this state again it get´s changed to:
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutLine.\\\"dsls\\\".1
and again :
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutLine.\\\\\\\"dsls\\\\\\\".1
and so on.
if i enter it double escaped like this:
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutLine.\\"dsls\\".1
it will end up like this:
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutLine.\\\\\"dsls\\\\\".1
Currently there is no way i can enter it in a state where it could be polled.
Can anyone help me with this ?
Update:
Current workaround for me is to edit the entry directly in the poller_item table of the cacti database (which is not so common for everyone ...
)Update 2:
If you create a new data template from scratch it gets saved correctly but when you edit it afterwards it get´s stuck in the state decribed above.
Thanks in Advance !
