Cannot store SNMP string value in item having numeric type

[just2blue4u]

Hi!

I want to monitor the Version number of each host's (DELL PowerEdge) Open Manage Software via SNMP.

This is the output shown whan requesting the Data by hand:

[root@intra2dmz-2 ~]# snmpwalk -m all -v 1 test-1-dgh.bfk -c public 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.100.2.0
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10892.1.100.2.0 = STRING: "5.8.0"

I configured the Item like this:


Zabbix says, that item would be unsupportet. When activating, the Server Logs show this:

9967:20080417:111507 Cannot store SNMP string value (ASN_OCTET_STR) in item having numeric type
  9967:20080417:111507 Parameter [systemManagementSoftwareVersionNumberName] is not supported by agent on host [test-1-dgh.bfk] Old status [0]

As i understand the Error, zabbix thinks i want to store the Strink as a numeric value. But i told zabbix to store it as "text". What do i do wrong?


Thx,

As far as I can see aren't there any errors with what you have set up, but you could try to set the type of information to character. Maybe it will work?

lol...

Here's the correct value shown as "character":

OM: Software Version 17 Apr 12:45:02 "5.8.0"

How can "5.8.0" be no string but a character?
Must i set all SNMP strings as char?


I am some kind of amused!
