Hi Martin,
We should keep this on the list...
I think there may be a way to add better support for these extended types to the
perl mod...to the extent there is support in the core package...
however, if you use 'UseSprintVal' option in the perl mod...doesn't this format
the output appropriately. Wes referred me to the load avg. mib in the agent now
as an example.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ perl -MSNMP -e '$sess=new
SNMP::Session(UseSprintValue=>1,Version=>1,Community=>"public");
$val=$sess->get("laLoadFloat.1");print "$SNMP::MIB{laLoadFloat}{syntax},
$SNMP::MIB{laLoadFloat}{type}, $SNMP::MIB{laLoadFloat}{textualConvention}:
$val\n";'
Float, OPAQUE, Float: 0.240000
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ snmpget -v 1 -c public localhost 'laLoadFloat.1'
UCD-SNMP-MIB::laLoadFloat.1 = Opaque: Float: 0.270000
looks good here...will this work for you?
let me know some specific of what you think the perl mod sold be doing different
here.
