Support for parameter textual value

PATROL for Light Weight Protocols provides the capability to report a value on a configured OID that contains a text value. In such cases, the KM removes the extra text and keeps only the numeric value to display it on the graph in TrueSight Console.

For example, let us assume the value of OID is 20 MB; in this case, the unit MB must be removed. To use the numeric value in a graph, the KM removes the text value - MB and uses 20 in the graph. This deletion occurs automatically.

Converts OID text value to a number

The KM provides an option to convert the OID value, which is a combination of number and text, to a number based on the user-defined OID/Formula. To convert an OID text value, the KM supports appending of additional characters in the OID/Formula field and allows the user to define criteria that support the conversion.

The KM executes the value provided by the user in the OID/Formula field and returns the numeric value accordingly.  For more information, see OID/Formula.
