I'm having an issue with the data from MIB's imported into PRTG. The import was successful and so was creating the sensor.
The data returned in "Last Message" is the real data value obtained from the SNMP polling but what's graphed and stored as data is "Response Time". In this scenario, the "Response Time" data is completely worthless.
How can I store the data from "Last Message" and graph against it?

Hello there and thank you for your KB-Post.
I will go ahead and guess that the "Last Message" that you're seeing is a string and not a numerical value (1, -4, 1,24 or -5,00). Correct?
This is very common and happens because PRTG can't assign a non-numerical value ("ok", "working", "18/09/2017 15:44", "up", ...) to a channel. The way PRTG was conceived only numerical values can be stored and graphed.
Depending on the SNMP Implementation, there may be a numerical equivalent of what you're monitoring under a different OID. If there is, I encourage you to monitor that. If not, you might want to have a look at the following Post for some of the alternatives/explanations:

Hello onwelfare,
thank you for your reply.
Please copy the contents of the message and share it here on the KB.
Additionally, what MIB did you import and how is the sensor's name?

Hi Luciano,
I figured it out!
All I needed to do was enable Extract Number Using Regular Expression. Since I know the data will be a number I used [0-9]*
This created another channel and data stream that is now graphed. Now I ran into another issue. Will post another question. :-(
