Can Orion pull data from an XML file to use in a monitor? I have a device that has a specific item that I want to monitor but there is no OID avalable for it.
Seftink, we don't have a monitor in APM that will let you specify an XPATH or some other construct to retrieve a data value embedded within an XML file.
I'll add it as a feature request.
If you need that functionality today, you will have to write your own Visual Basic script to parse the XML file, locate and pull the mail queue number (example: 234) , and then send that number up to Orion APM in the form of a string:
"Statistic: 234"
I have a simialar situation where the manufacturer Tandberg is moving towards xml for data values on their video codecs. If i have an xml file to pull from can someone point me into the path to retrieve that data and input into Orion. A sample would be great if available. Thanks in advance. alfred
