SNMP dynamic indexes on integers

[gaspode]

Hi,

I've been successfully using the SNMP dynamic indexes on several items but recently seem to have hit a roadblock.
I've got an index which is indexed by integers:

...
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.1 = INTEGER: ambient(11)
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.2 = INTEGER: cpu(6)
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.3 = INTEGER: cpu(6)
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.4 = INTEGER: memory(7)
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.5 = INTEGER: memory(7)
...

but when I try to use it with the dynamic SNMP index Zabbix reports that it can't find the OID:

Item [server1:hp.temp.max[storage]] error: Cannot find index [1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.8.1.3.1] of the OID [.1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.8.1.5.1["index","1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.8.1.3.1",8]]: NOT FOUND: 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.8.1.3.1[8]

although when running snmpwalk I can see the item:

[marcus@monitor ~]$ snmpwalk -v 2c -c XXX server1 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.8.1.3.1 | grep 8\$
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.6.2.6.8.1.3.1.27 = INTEGER: 8
[marcus@monitor ~]$

Is there any kind of workaround to be able to search for integers as well as strings in the index tables?

Same problem here, and also same MIB...

In case you are trying to monitor HP temperatures as well this is the external script I ended up using to get around the problem (but beware it is rather specific for temperature monitors):

{code}
#!/bin/bash

IDX=".1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.8.1.3.1"
TEMP=".1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.8.1.4.1"
TEMPMAX=".1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.8.1.5.1"
TEMPSTAT=".1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.8.1.6.1"

case $2 in
"temp")
OID=$TEMP ;;
"tempmax")
OID=$TEMPMAX ;;
"tempstat")
OID=$TEMPSTAT ;;
*)
echo "Unknown request"
exit -1 ;;
esac

# Note, the cut -d . -f 16 should be more dynamic at some point.

ID=`snmpwalk -c public -v 2c -On $1 $IDX | grep INTEGER:\ $3\$ | cut -d. -f 16 | cut -d " " -f 1 | head -n 1`

if [ \! -z "$ID" ] ; then
snmpget -c public -v 2c -OvQ $1 $OID.$ID
else
echo "-1"
fi
{code}

Use it by setting up a external check and call it with hp_temp.sh["tempmax" 11] (for example for Ambient temperatures on my servers at least).
