The agent does not know what output will be produced by an arbitrary
command, so always reports it as a string. This means that MRTG, etc
cannot generate a graph from it.
You'd need to adjust the 'qm-stat-cat' script to return the numeric
value as the *exit* status from the script, and then retrieve (and monitor)
the OID UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdavis.9100.1.100
Note that the MIB structure generated by
exec {OID} {NAME} ....
is not strictly legal, and this directive has been withdrawn as from release
5.4 and above. Instead, you should use
extend {OID} {NAME} .....
which generates a different (legal!) format for the results.
