<br>
I'm trying to figure out how to collect non numeric values with snmp<br>
plugin. I'd like to monitor some UPSs and send the collected data with<br>
write_http plugin to a web servlet in order to process them. There are<br>
some useful information, like manufacturer, model, UPS software version,<br>
etc., that are defined as a display string in the MIB tree and I'd wish<br>
to collect. Is there any way to do this with snmp plugin?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
