RIGHT ON !! I discovered that D-Link DWL-900AP as well as
Smartbridges Air Point Pro Outdoor as well as others do the VERY thing you
said. It must be common practice to do this.
I did find a sort of work around tho, I used MRTG and did a substring
function to get to the bytes I was interested in. Then it was just a
matter
of graphing it and putting it on an HTML page.
I REALLY want to use WUG to do this so the feature request is
right on the track! Thanks a lot. Let me know if you implement it.

Subject: RE: [WhatsUp
Forum] graphing a string value
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?

Re: [WhatsUp Forum] graphing a string value
Here is the basic
problem. 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 ....

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.

how do I graph the 11th and 15th
number in this OID string array with WUG?
This is the OID in the
Smartbridge Air Point Pro Outdoor
Variable =
.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.410.1.2.8.1.0
Value = String
<0x00><0x00><0x00><0x30><0x1a><0x09><0x2d><0x28><0x00><0x01><0x0d><0x06><0x00><0x04><0x12><0x00><0x82><0x84><0x8b><0x96><0x42><0x45><0x4e><0x4c><0x49><0x4e><0x4b><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x00><0x07>
