Item preprocessing and hex to decimal conversion for IP's

[Linwood]

Cisco commonly returns IP addresses as hex strings, so "AC 14 16 01" is being returned fro9m a RTT mib for target address.

Historically I've then done the discovery and/or polling in an external script, which is a lot of overhead, and I thought that the new preprocessing would deal with this.

But I can't find a path through using regex and/or other operations to turn this into an IP address.

Is that beyond the scope of what preprocessing can do?

PS. Even if not, the preprocessing steps are very nice, and a welcome addition.

for anyone looking for a solution here, like me:

You can set up a "javascript" PreProcessing step at item level

const h = value.split(" ");
return ""+parseInt(h[0],16)+"."+parseInt(h[1],16)+"."+parseInt(h[2],16)+"."+parseInt(h[3],16);​

Made this little modification to make it work on my zabbix 5

Code:

const h = value.split(" ");
return parseInt(h[0],16)+"."+parseInt(h[1],16)+"."+parseInt(h[2],16)+"."+parseInt(h[3],16);
