About a 1 1/2 years ago someone was trying to write a custom probe
(cmd-line) to fetch temp values from a non-snmp device, and chart graph it.
The end answer ended up being:
You could write a custom TCP probe instead. Then you would not have to jump
through the command-line hoops and it would allow you to graph the values.
Use the built-in HTTP probe as a basis.

Enter same problem, with no real answer even this long after.
(No feedback posted to the entry on the mailing list either.)
Well, even after looking at the built in HTTP probe and other TCP probes,
there still isn't an answer. Several options in the custom probes don't
appear to be used yet.
It doesn't matter to me, cmd-line or http. I can write a command-line python
script that returns the data needed, but no way to get that return data into
Intermapper.
I tried using just ${EXIT_CODE} in the status window portion of the custom
probe but even though I know the only thing output when IM runs the command
is a number, IM reports on the status window 'unknown variable'.
HTTP probe? I don't see how to assign what IM fetched to a variable, which I
will add to the status window.
Help? This doesn't seem very flexible, right now I'm forced to setup an
snmpd server, and set oid's ahead of time just to graph in IM. Talk about
triple the work!
