Hi All,
I'm fairly new to SolarWinds and currently I'm working to add some custom pollers to certain servers on our network.
We have a custom bit of data that has been generated by a script that is accessible when tested from an SNMP walk to the device, this is stored across multiple OID's that fall below a parent OID of:
- 1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.9999
Now this OID contains multiple rows of data, but when adding it into the Universal Device Poller we are only getting a few rows of data back. So for example if when looking at the OID within an SNMP walk output we have 20 lines of data, when using the Universal Device Poller only the first 4-5 lines are coming though.
We have trialed multiple settings and so far the best has been to use the 'get table' method, but so far we only have half a solution.
What we have been able to do is run Polls of a UID further down the tree of:
- 1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.9999.4.1.2.14.114.117.110.95.112.114.111.99.101.115.115.105.110.103
Now while this DOES bring back everything that is a child of this OID when using the 'get table' method, it is missing out on other data we want where the OID varies slightly. So for example instead of the data being a child of '1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.9999.4...' it may be contained within '1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.9999.3...'.
The obvious solution appears to be to use multiple pollers to get past this, unfortunately due to the way the source we are polling has to be setup...the data is erased after each poll. So if I were to run two polls, the data would exist for the first one...but not the 2nd.
Hopefully the above makes sense as to the behavior we are seeing, and the behavior we are wanting.
In short when polling '1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.9999' we get maybe 20% of the data we want, yet when polling an OID that is a child of this OID we get all the data we want.
How can we get the Universal Device Poller tool to give us all the information contained beneath the '1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.9999' OID?
Appreciate any input on this, or alternate methods I may not have already thought of.
Many thanks,
