SNMP and grapghing

[benhank]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!


So I used the snmpwalk wizard to create a few checks for my isilon devices. however the check that is monitoring fanspeed automatically produces perfdata and graphs:

Code: Select all

check_xi_service_snmp! -p 161 -o enterprises.12124.2.55.1.4.1 -C 'public' -P 2c -l " The current reading of the sensor in volts or amps." -u "Volts" -m SNMPv2-SMI!!!!!!!

but the check that is monitoring the psu doesn't produce graphs:

Code: Select all

check_xi_service_snmp! -p 161 -o enterprises.12124.2.53.1.4.1 -C 'public' -P 2c -l " The current speed of the fan in revolutions per minute." -u "rpm" -m SNMPv2-SMI!!!!!!!

What do I have to do to get graphing for any snmp checks that results in numerical values?

Code: Select all

enterprises.12124.2.55.1.4.1

This returns a string value not a numerical value

I know the string might be something like "12.039000" but it is in fact a string so the SNMP plugin doesn't produce a graph
