Parsing SNMP OIDs as JSON
Hello,
I thought that this would be an obvious feature, but anyway...
Entering an OID for an SNMP datasource gives me only three ways of interpreting output - none of which are to treat it like JSON.
Can this be added as a feature?
Thanks.

·10 years agoIt seems unusual for an SNMP query to return a JSON object (can't recall ever coming across such a thing), so at the moment, I don't think we'd put this on the roadmap.
That being said, you can do this with a little more complexity.
You can create a complex datapoint that puts all the power of groovy at your disposal to do whatever you want:
http://www.logicmonitor.com/support/datasources/creating-managing-datasources/complex-datapoints/#Groovy-Script
You'd add a regular datapoint that collects the data as an OID. (Doesn't really matter how it's defined.)
Then a complex datapoint, that can access all the raw data returned by all OIDs, by using a map. So adding two datapoints:
datapoint1 = .1.3.6.1.12.12.12
datapoint2 = .1.3.6.1.12.12.13
You can access them in groovy as:
d1= output[".1.3.6.1.12.12.12"]
d2= output[".1.3.6.1.12.12.13"]
The d1 and d2 will contain the raw output of the SNMP response, and can be processed in groovy/java as you like...
