Universal Device Poller for Server Type

I am trying to set up a UnDP to retrieve the Model Type for a Compaq server, I have found an OID that shows the Model of the server however when I try and set up the UnDP it only gives me an option of using a Gauge which is obviously no use for showing the Model (eg. Proliant DL360 G4), the option for the table is greyed out, can anyone suggest how I can get round this, I just want to be able to display the Model types on the Node Details screen.

Thanks,

John

I use a poller to get Dell models. MIB Value Type: Raw, Format: Text, SNMP Get Type: Get Next and Polling Type: Node.

JB,

Yes that is how my device poller looks but when I go on to the web display section the option for 'table' and 'chart' are greyed out, any ideas how to get round this.

I see, its not a chart or a table ts a single oid It will show up in the Universal Device Poller Status Resource

I have resolved the issue of not seeing the option for a 'table' by changing the 'advanced' settings on the UnDP from 'text' to 'none' and from 'get next' to 'get table', when I did this I could then select 'table' as my web display on the node details screen.

However your response has raised a different question, I had never seen the Universal Device Poller Status Resource display until you showed me yours. I went and selected mine and found that my UDP Status Resource isn't showing the current status it is just saying how many values that exist. Even when there is only one value it isn't showing it, I tried to copy and paste the resource into here so you could see it but I don't know how to do that.

Any ideas?
