I know the SNMP perl module (the UCD one, not the SNMP_Session
that cricket uses) allows you to tell it to return the unenumerated
value. So instead of the formated 2:24:55, you'll get the timeticks
value. Perhaps the SNMP_Session module has a similar option? I, for one,
have several things that I'd like to graph that are timetick (NetApp CPU
busy seconds, APC seconds remaining on battery, APC seconds on battery,
etc.). It seems unfortunate that I would have to write a special EXEC to
get these values via a different SNMP method just to unformat them.
