Hey, 

I use net-snmp extend scripts a lot in my organization to monitor all kinds of values on linux, freebsd and windows servers, and that's been working great with cacti so far. However, net-snmp seems to return only string datatypes instead of integers. It's not a problem for Cacti, since it automatically does string-to-integer conversion, but I'm starting out with nagios and other software, and it really has problems.

Example:

This extend line:
extend .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.54.101.0 test "/bin/echo 123"

Gets me the following return value:
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.54.101.0.4.1.2.4.116.101.115.116.1 = STRING: "123"

Is there a way I can force net-snmp to return an integer value?

With kind regards,
