I have thought about this a lot. The problem is exactly as you stated it... "Smartbridges did not make a seperate oid for rssi and link quality". Perhaps you could ask them whether they intend to address this.
At present, there is not much that WhatsUp Gold can do - and I imagine that the same would be true for most SNMP tools (Does anyone know different?). However, I have logged a feature request that could maybe solve the problem.... use the existing Expression tool to extract the specific byte that is of interest from the payload and then use a HEX -> INTEGER converter to turn it into something that can be meaningfully graphed. And this could be implemented within SNMPMon as well. The thing is... the likelyhood of anything being done is dependent on how widespread this kind of SNMP behaviour is in the wild. Does anyone else have experience of other vendors that "overstuff" their MIBs in the same way?

Smartbridges did not make a seperate oid for rssi and link quality. They put the values in a string oid called network, a string 53 chars long.So how do I write a .pl script to extract these two string chars as an interger and then graph them? What I want is like the basic statement val($string,11,1) and val($string 15,1). If I knew how to do the equiv of that basic statement .... -------Original Message------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thursday, April 03, 2003 10:31:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [WhatsUp Forum] graphing a string value Im not sure but i thnik that WUG just graph integers and not char strings. You have to write a script to get the OID via SNMP, extract the octect, write it as integer and then make a graph. Perhaps this url may help you www.mrtg.org Good luck.
