[Zenoss-dev] Partial OID decoding / Complex SNMP Traps

[elmerfud]

I have several pieces of networking equipment that produce what I've come to call, complex traps. 

For example, a snmp_linkDown from a Copper Mountain CE200 contains additional information in the details section of

Code:
Field                                                                                            	Value
1.3.6.1.4.1.1996.20.15.1.1.1.68.97.118.101.32.72.97.110.115.101.110.113040000                       Don Hensen
1.3.6.1.4.1.1996.20.15.1.1.2.68.97.118.101.32.72.97.110.115.101.110.113040000 	                   113040000
1.3.6.1.4.1.1996.20.15.2.1.1.81.67.79.110.108.105.110.101                                        	NetOnline



Now, these OID's are kind of wacky in that they contain a bunch of additional information appended on to the end of the OID the mib recognizes.

The first line with a value of Don Henson the OID breaks down as such. 
1.3.6.1.4.1.1996.20.15.1.1.1  =  cmNameIfName
68.97.118.101.32.72.97.110.115.101.110.113040000  =  additional info defining such things as chassis, slot, card, port, and so on.

Is it possible to run a transform on just the field?  Every example I've seen shows selecting a field to query its value.  I need the capability to query the names of the fields inside the trap, so I can use arbitrary bits of them in my event handling.  Is there a way to do this?

Also, it would be nice to have zentrap decode as much of the OID as possible, but I can see how this might cause some confusing behavior.  Perhaps only inside of the enterprises section.
