Excuse my lack of thorough knowledge with custom pollers, but I have spent a few hours on this and am not getting anywhere. I searched the forums and did not find an answer to this question, so here it goes:
I snmpwalked a specific OID from my Linux box, and the variable responds with the data 100%. It provides the serial number for the device (.1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.11.1 ). All good to here.
I created a custom poller for this OID, applied it to the devices from which I need this data. All good to here.
Now I want to run a report showing all the serial numbers for these devices, which we desperately need (else it needs to be done by hand, ugh). However, when I go to Report Writer, I cannot find my custom poller as one of the fields available in the Select Fields tab. I can see there are Custom Properties for the Nodes, however. So I open up Custom Properties, and try to add a new property to be populated by my Custom Poller (ie: link the custom poller to a custom property so it can be used on reports and such). But this apparently cannot be done, or at least I am not seeing how to make that link on the Custom Properties application.
When I go to Report Writer, I cannot see my Custom Poller as one of the fields in the "Select Fields" tab. So how do I get that custom poller output onto a report??
Thanks.
