Hello everyone,
hopefully i'm not visiting an old issue that's already known, but i'm having
an issue with the Net::SNMP module.
I have written a script to return the values for the OID:
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.6.1 which is a load average for a Solaris box.
Querying this OID through the command line, snmpget, it will return the
following:
UCD-SNMP-MIB::laLoadFloat.1 = Opaque: Float: 1.371094
and then when querying through my script's usage of the net::snmp, it
returns:
DATA: 0x9f78043fdc8000
which appears to me as a HUGE hex value.
i MIGHT have traced how this return value is built down to the package:
Net::SNMP::Message
with the method: [ sub _prepare_opaque ] which calls [ sub
_prepare_type_length ] in the same module.
will these methods prepare the message properly given the type of output
i've seen from the command line? i'm thinking that maybe there is a small
bug in how it's parsing the returned value, or maybe i'm completely out in
left field ;)
this would be a handy metric to have, so TIA for any help
Dan
