I have an OID I need to graph. I would like to compare it to another integer on the same graph. The problem is whoever the nutcase is that designed the MIB made it a string. The format it outputs as is -> .1.3.6.1.4.1.161.19.3.2.2.8.0 = STRING: "-65 dBM" . So I need a way to get the "65" or even the "-65" out of the complete string. I haven't found anything built in zabbix at this point that would let me do this. Is there any thought to allowing more of a free form regexp type store value ability?

I am guessing this is a wireless AP you are querying, and as such you can't manipulate or script the info on the device and use zabbix_sender. The only way would be to use a script on the zabbix server to grab the snmp then cut/awk/sed/whatever you prefer, the value down to -65 and then use zabbix_sender to feed it to zabbix_server. I am pretty sure that zabbix will happily accept negative numbers.

Yes, it is an embedded wireless device. I am new to zabbix so I don't know anything about zabbix_sender. I'll have to learn a bit. Since then I have discovered the next release of the software on the device corrects the MIB mistake so at least for this purpose it won't be neccessary. I might need it in the future.
