User story

As a PRTG user, I want to be able to shorten Strings using Regex using the SNMP Custom String sensor.

Details of user story

OID might return a long string. If I'm only interested in part of it, I want to be able to extract a specific part of the string using Regex (similar to the "Numeric Value Extraction" feature) to shorten the sensor message.

Acceptance criteria

Add "String Extraction" feature to the SNMP Custom String sensor

Status
