Hello List, I have extended my snmpd.conf to export some custom application data. : exec 1.3.6.1.4.1.2008.2600.100.1.1 hibernate_QueryCacheHitCount_vm1 /bin/cat /var/log/applogs/jvmstats/hibernate_QueryCacheHitCount The value is an INT but by default when I poll it using snmpwalk the data type defaults to a string: [root@myserver]# snmpwalk -v2c -c mytargethost.mydomain.com 1.3.6.1.4.1.2008.2600.100.1.1 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2008.2600.100.1.1.1.1 = INTEGER: 1 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2008.2600.100.1.1.2.1 = STRING: "hibernate_QueryCacheHitCount_vm1" SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2008.2600.100.1.1.3.1 = STRING: "/bin/cat /nfs/applogs/jvmstats/hibernate_QueryCacheHitCount_vm1" SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2008.2600.100.1.1.100.1 = INTEGER: 0 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2008.2600.100.1.1.101.1 = STRING: "18175" SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2008.2600.100.1.1.102.1 = INTEGER: 0 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2008.2600.100.1.1.101.1 = STRING: "18175" is the data I am interested in. I have a few questions about this: 1) How can I force the data in question to an INTEGER or GAUGE by using the extending snmpd.conf method 2) Why does it append 4 more octets after the 1.3.6.1.4.1.2008.2600.100.1.1 that I have defined? Is this behavior documented? The reason for this is the application consuming this data freaks out when it tries to interpret a number as a string (I know thats bad design, but its not my app) Thanks in advance ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-users mailing list [email protected] Please see the following page to unsubscribe or change other options: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-users
