Naming of OIDLib created sensors / what am I missing?

Hi,

I've used the MIB importer a couple of times now and have set some "pretty" names Identification > Group+Name fields as well as Value > Indicator.

However, when creating sensors in PRTG, the sensor names are pretty much useless, it just ends up being "enterprises / {1-3}" for instance. I'm sure you know what I mean.

Am I missing something, how can one get better naming there out of the box?

Hi,

I have the same problem. Did you solve this?

I created the sensor from a SNMP library.

Thanks in advance.

If I understand you correctly, you want to have a more nicer Sensor name if you use the SNMP Customer Table Sensor or do you want to have the OIDs in the table during the creation of the Sensor translated?

Thank you for the update.

You can use placeholder like [rowidentifier] in the Sensor name setting. If you choose a column as a description as identifier, the Sensor will be named after the description.
