Assuming that we had support for arithmetic expressions involving + - * / available to custom probes, can you give me an example of what you would use the additional if-then and while loops? Would you use these in the context of a custom-snmp probe or tcp-script, or both?
The TCP script/bytecode interpreter already supports some conditional commands that can be used to mimic if-then and while constructs. These are:
CHCK - branch if string argument is empty. SBNE - branch if string arguments are not equal NBNE - branch if numeric arguments are not equal NBGT - branch if numeric argument1 > argument 2
It's a little work to use these - not quite as convenient as the high-level equivalents.
For Custom SNMP probes, I'm not sure how you would use a while loop. Can you provide an example?
