[check_snmp] Feature request : multiply, or divide values

[BenoitPoulet]

Hello,
I have a bunch of devices who send temperatures results in integer :

SNMP OK - temperature 207 d°C | temperature=207d°C;260;280;

So it would be great if it was possible to multiply, or divide values

Regards.

I saw this was added as a commit / pull request some time ago but now it's no longer there, I'll chase up the person who added it as there's no point re-inventing the wheel.

Hello,

Any chance for this enhancement ?

Hi,

I'm not sure what commit or PR @box293 is talking about, but the repository is open to pull requests. If someone wants to submit a change I can pull that in for the next feature release.

edit: Troy told me where the commit was from. We'll see if he's in a helping mood.

I came here looking to request this feature as well. I have two different types of PDUs. One type reports amperage in 1/10ths of an AMP, and the other uses 1/100ths of an amp.

For the purposes of reporting it in the Nagios UI I'd like it to be in amps. A multiplication factor would solve this problem.

Looking at the check_snmp.c code, it wasn't as gnarly as I thought it'd be. I submitted a PR that solves my above use case. If someone else could test for me that would be great.

Just add a --multiplier 0.1 or whatever is appropriate for your environment.
