Janice, I am adding member probes to a group, these member probes are targeted at a specific interface of a device, an unnumbered interface at that. So the relevant info for that probe is interface specific, one of the parameters that is set in the interface and passed to this custom SNMP probe is the index of that interface.
Actually ideally it would be great if there was a standard way within an SNMP probe to pass back value that could be used for the label the member probe that would be different for each instance of the probe. Again ideally this would need to be a variable value that could be set based upon information returned from an OID or that could be set based upon a parameter configured at the time you set the probe. I hope this makes sense.
