This means that logicmonitor is trying to take the delta between each poll and the previous poll. Think of it this way, if you were trying to gauge the speed of your car and all you had was the odometer, you'd take a reading, wait 5 or 10 minutes, then take another reading. You'd take the difference between the two readings and divide by the time to get miles per hour. This is what counter metric type does. It takes the difference between two polls and divides by the time between them to get the average rate during the poll cycle. Trying changing to gauge and see what you get. Also, your post interpreter is using regex, but you didn't supply a regex expression. I assume the SNMP poll just returns the number 20221231, so you shouldn't need any interpretation, just use the value directly.
Looks like you're using an extension on NetSNMP to get the cblicexp output, yeah? You might consider the easier SSH mechanism. However, if it's working, let sleeping dogs lie, right?
Thank you Stewart.. my graph now shows a value. So can I ask how can I setup a Big Number widget correctly displaying this value?
