0 mnagel Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Seems like a no-brainer to support that, right? The only way you could as it stands is via API calls, which, without library support, is a non-starter for me. It could be done if you want to maintain many copies of the same code across modules (which seems to be the norm now, except they are all slightly different based on who writes them as you would expect).

Totally understand you... But, for what we want it would really need to access the actual datapoints value... Unfortunately, we'll need to leverage other options. I appreciate your reply anyway mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meanwhile, we've managed to sort it out using another method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Administrators Stuart Weenig Posted November 2, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 2, 2020 For Groovy based datapoints, when SNMP is the collector, there is a variable set in the script called "output". You can parse through that output variable to get the data. If it's counters, you'd need to use collector script caching to get the previous poll value to run the delta manually.

We were already doing that. However, we wanted values from other datapoints (gauge, derive, etc...).... Which as per the documentation isn't possible (validated on Friday) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Administrators Stuart Weenig Posted November 2, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 2, 2020 Yeah, the output is passed to the groovy datapoint before the delta is calculated. Simply the raw output from the poll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
