Hello,
Could you please if it is advisable to use a string eg. name of item as a table
index?
The table is yet to be defined, need defined and added to a MIB file.
The table will contain info of different items and our requirement is if we can
get the info of a particular item by doing snmpget query passing the item name
string as index.
I have tested it, it is feasible, but while giving the OID in snmpget, we
needed to give the item name string index by dot separated ascii values of each
character in the name.
eg. <OID of the table> .1.<column
no.>.5."65.66.67.68.69" where the item name is "ABCDE".
But from usage perspective it is not looking good that we need to manually
calculate the ascii values of the characters in the item name and provide them
in the snmpget query.
Is there any other way of doing this so that we can directly give the item name
and not the ascii values?
Some thing like: <OID of the table> .1.<column
no.>.5."ABCD" or <OID of the table> .1.<column no.>.5."A.B.C.D"
thanks and regards
S Sarath
