So i was got error 223 then when i added .0 to the OID i become get " CPU Load (100ms, 1s, 10s) : 0%, 0%, 0%'' is not a valid integer value" .. So what you are advice me .

Hi Traig,

try autodiscovery on your switch. Try to get the MIB file for your device from the Homepage of the manufacturer. The OID looks like a device specific OID. Try 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.9.6.1.0 its imo a common OID for CPU load.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. I found when i using " Gauge (float, e.g. "-5.80", "8.23")" the sensor working fine with value "1001100000 %" ... So how i can change this to like ( 1% or 2% or 10% and like this as graph ?

Kind Regards,

Dear Traig

Are you using an SNMP Custom, or SNMP Custom String sensor? The latter allows to extract a value from the String message using a regular expression.

Dear Traig

Please use a custom string sensor for this OID. Since your sensor scanning interval is probably set to 60s, please use a regular expression to extract the one value from the string in which you have the most interest in (probably the 10s CPU load value.)

Dear Traig

I am sorry, we provide the software and the technical support for our network monitor, but we don't support the custom configuration of sensors. There are many forums and online test applications for regex in the internet.
