Hi gang
As we know unfortunately those of us in the monitoring world are at mercy of the MIB authors.
I have happened across some environmental monitoring systems that output their temperature as a STRING not an INTEGER:
$ snmpwalk -v2c -c public 10.144.56.10 1.3.6.1.4.1.2682.1.2.6.1.4.7
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2682.1.2.6.1.4.7.0 = STRING: " 75.199 F"
Okay, so that's fun, that means I can't actually graph this OID or alert on it as a value. (Ironically, the GET TABLE works fine and provides integer values
)
I tried to build a transform set for this, which cleans it up a little bit, but the value still will not display on a graph


Any idea on how to go about fixing this? I really would like to be able to alert on these particular OID via the GET for temperature monitoring.
