Hello,
This mail is not an answer. Only some ideas for those who want to think
:)
I don't think that Collectd is the best way to collect metrics with
non-numeric values.
However, if your plugin can set metadata (I presume that snmp does not),
maybe you can do something... as far as your output plugin knows what to
do with them. Kafka output plugin does. rrdtool output plugin does not,
of course.

Yves

You wouldn't want to use collectd for non-numeric values. In fact, I
don't
think that's possible.
There are other ways of retrieving this type of data. For example, you
could write a script that would snmpget/snmpwalk the values you want
from
the UPSs and then use something like curl -X POST to push those values
to
your web servlet for processing. You could then run the script
periodically via cron if needed. This is a simple example, of course.

Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out how to collect non numeric values with snmp
plugin. I'd like to monitor some UPSs and send the collected data with
write_http plugin to a web servlet in order to process them. There are
some useful information, like manufacturer, model, UPS software
version,
etc., that are defined as a display string in the MIB tree and I'd
wish
to collect. Is there any way to do this with snmp plugin?
Thanks in advance,
Alessandro
