PRTG display only one channel "response time" for any sensor I am trying to create for a specific de

Votes:

I added a SNMP library to monitor the input, output and other parameters for a device. The problem is when I added the sensors, PRTG displays only one channel which is "response time" regardless of the sensor I create (I tried three sensors with the same result).

I checked the MIB file with the device vendor and they inform me no problem with it, and below is wireshark capture for the snmp request/response which clarify that the device is responding properly to the PRTG server with the actual value for each sensor. but the prtg show only one channel "response time" which is weird.

please advise about the reason and what is the solution to this problem.

The values are stored as octet strings from what it looks like: 

1.3.6.1.4.1.18210.2.4.3.2.0: 34352e34
Object Name: 1.3.6.1.4.1.18210.2.4.3.2.0 (iso.3.6.1.4.1.18210.2.4.3.2.0)
Value (OctetString): 34352e34 (=> 45.4)

Unfortunately, PRTG does not support octet and hex string evaluation. That's why it's not working.

Thanks dear, but what are the strings supported by prtg.

Well, basic strings - like test or Version 1.2.4 or integer/float values. Unsupported means that PRTG can't make anything of the values (i.e. can't interpret them), hence it's omitting them.
