Indexed SNMP OID's

[Frozen]

What I'm talking about is the OID that are indexed, how to get them to self expand..

Like HP-MIB::fileSystemTable, it's indexed has the sub OID's of

HP-MIB::fileSystemID1
HP-MIB::fileSystemID2
HP-MIB::fileSystemName
HP-MIB::fileSystemBlock
HP-MIB::fileSystemBfree
HP-MIB::fileSystemBavail
HP-MIB::fileSystemBsize
HP-MIB::fileSystemFiles
HP-MIB::fileSystemFfree
HP-MIB::fileSystemDir

I could access this by using string search but on a site where file system configs are different across the boards it will not be affective.

What I kind of search for is to be able to give the fileSystemTable, that will then fetch the indexed OID's.. and make them so to say sub items of the main item.. I can then e.g. set triggers, graphs of each of the indexed items..

Anyways it's not a part yet but I thought about coding it up. I know pretty well how to code the C part in the snmp poller so to say but I'm not to familiar with the reminder Zabbix so I might need help with that.. Anyways just wanted to know if it's interesting...

To clarify: do you mean, say:

HP-MIB::fileSystemName.1
HP-MIB::fileSystemName.2
HP-MIB::fileSystemBlock.1
HP-MIB::fileSystemBlock.2
HP-MIB::fileSystemBfree.1
HP-MIB::fileSystemBfree.2
HP-MIB::fileSystemBavail.1
HP-MIB::fileSystemBavail.2

ie detect .1, .2, .3, etc and create items for them automatically if they exist? If that's what you mean, then yes, that is interesting and has applications for network interfaces as well, where the indices could be anywhere from 1 to 50000 [and more] depending on the implementation.

Yep it is but it's not as strait fwd as that

HP-MIB::fileSystemID1
HP-MIB::fileSystemID2

Holds the INDEX values and they might not be incremented in a strait fwd manner.. but for the matter of the discussion yes that is exactly what I mean.

SNMP tables/index are very very common, it's interfaces, it's process tables, etc... there is a lot of them there..
