[opennms-devel] SNMP Strings

[Rightmer, S. C. <Set...@st...>]

Hey OpenNMSers,

I'm working on SNMP data collection for our IBM Blade Centers. I've done
the traps, but I'd like to have historical data when the traps come in,
so we can tell whether, say, an overvoltage condition is simply a hiccup
or the result of a trend. Unfortunately, IBM only supplies voltage and
temperature data as SNMP strings, like "+25 degrees Celsius." Is there
any way to cast these strings as numerical data?
