Dear William, Thanks for the suggestion. If I am not mistaken, this means I have to set it directly on the standard "community" field of the SNMP probe right? This field is a password/hidden field which means the user won't be able to see what they type. Or is there a way where I can have a custom text field for the "ID", then in the probe, programmatically append the community string with the ID to the form: "public@ABC1234"

I am actually writing an SNMP Agent which requires InterMapper to send me a "ID" (a OctetString) which I use to provide a proper response for a InterMapper custom-snmp probe. If you are using SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c, you will need to encode the ID in the community string. For example, to obtain the reading from sensor ABC1234, you could use a community string of the form "public@ABC1234" If you are using SNMPv3, you can set the "context name" value to the ID of the sensor. (The InterMapper GUI lets you specify the context name for an SNMPv3 probe by setting the user name to "user@context"). Your SNMP agent will need to examine the community string or context name to provide the proper response. -- Bill Fisher Dartware, LLC ____________________________________________________________________ List archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/intermapper-talk%40list.dartware.com/ To unsubscribe: send email to: [email protected]
