Dear, I am using the advanced custom snmp sensor and I am not able to bring the information of a formatted ip, I would like to know which option should I use so that the ip comes correct.

Hi there,

PRTG just stores numerical values. What you can do is to use the SNMP Custom String Sensor to display the IP address in the message field of PRTG.

But I need to add other OIDs, this sensor only allowed me to add just 1 OID.

Hello there,

The string sensor indeed just supports one OID and the sensor message also provides information of one OID. Anything else would need to be handled in a custom sensor. Maybe with a tool using the NETSNMP executable.

Kind regards,
