Nice oid to datasource loader script

Per the discussion in IRC, here's a script we use around here for loading oid's from a mib into a template.

    Looking at the script source code, it looks like you do

     

    bulkLoadSnmpCounters {/Device/Class,TemplateName}

     

    Of course, where their code would spit out the WMI part, it's actually looking for OIDs in a MIB file. It's a short script, looking at the code does show some cool stuff you can do with dmd and apparently some methods they expose in Zenoss core.

     

    This should be prominently placed I think . . . I'll make a FAQ entry.

    Created a template MMCisco under Devices -> Network -> MMCisco

     

    Uploaded the mib CISCO-STACK-MIB.mib along with bulkLoadSnmpCounters.py to the same folder.

     

    Tried running both:

    python bulkLoadSnmpCounters.py /Devices/Network,MMCisco CISCO-STACK-MIB.mib

    python bulkLoadSnmpCounters.py /Network,MMCisco CISCO-STACK-MIB.mib

     

    But keep getting the error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):

      File "bulkLoadSnmpCounters.py", line 50, in <module>

        (id, oid, type) = dp.split(" ")

    ValueError: need more than 2 values to unpack

     

    I thought this script would allow me to create a template and then load a mib into the data sources of my template.  Did I misunderstand something?  Is there a problem loading the Cisco MIB's?
