I would like some way to have the user input a string, and then be able to look up a table index that matched it and use that for subsequent lookups. For example, in my Netware volume proble, I currently have the user enter the volume index. It's not obvious which index corresponds to which volume, though. The probe detail window displays the volume name, so the user can use trial and error to figure out the index they want.
The problem is that there are 255 different indexes, and they occasionally change as volumes are added and removed. Ideally, the user would enter the volume name as a probe paramater. Then the probe would loop through the volume table looking for a match. Once a match is found, the volume index is copied to a variable and used to look up the volume parameters. -- Doug Weathers, Network Administrator St. Charles Medical Center >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/12/2003 8:12:13 AM >>> James: 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?
