Hi there list,
I've been toying around with an example script I've found online (thank you
rhys) which uses the Perl SNMP module and was wondering a bit about the
formatting of the return value
Say I query a meru controller for mwApOperationalState I get a list of values
for the different devices controlled by the device
Setting "UseEnum" or "UseSprintValue" to 0 wil give me an integer (0,1,2,...
depending on the state)
Setting "UseEnum" or "UseSprintValue" to 1 wil give me the integer translated
to a string (unknown, online, unlicensed and so on)
The integer value is just fine for logging purposed (use RRD fort hat), but for
a userinterface te translated value is mucht nices.
When running a query from the command line wil give a value like Online (1)
So I started looking for a way to controll the format returned myself. Found
params like VarFormats and TypeFormats which seem to promise tob e just what I
would like to do. But I can't make head or tail from the description in the Man
page.
Does anyone of you have a - pointer to - example on how to do this, how to use
the VarFormats or TypeFormats?
Peter
