Yes - that's perfectly normal with SNMP. You cannot assume that index values are necessarily stable across restarts of the agent. Monitoring applications need to be prepared to handle changes of indexing. You can use the lmXxxSensorsDevice values to spot when re-mapping is necessary. > Also for example I know that all my devices have 6 fans and 5 temperature and > 15 power sensors at max. > If I am using current code I have to configure all my devices separately to > monitor em. > But with separate indexes i can create one single template which contains > maximum > number of all sensors and use it for all devices. I don't quite follow. Why not configure your template to monitor the whole of the relevant tables, rather than individual ranges? Or select a very high maximum (say 255), and let the monitoring application determine which instances are currently valid. > If you want me to change my code, just say how exactly it should looks like > to avoid misunderstanding. > I can add one more single table with any sensors available in the system, > should I ?. If you are looking at extending the sensors capability of the agent, then I suggest you draw up a proposal for exactly what you have in mind. I know that there are people here who have expressed an interest in sensors in the past (and probably know much more about this than I do). If you are considering a single, combined-sensors MIB table, then I'd suggest it would be a very good idea to at least look at the Entity Sensors MIB, rather than re-inventing the wheel.
