Getting Data In

Ruby SNMP CIM

Greetz,

I know almost nothing about Ruby, could someone maybe assist by advising how to print the below
fields but for each value in each column concatenate the value with the CIM field (loosely named for now), like interface="ifDescr" in="ifInOctets" out="ifOutOctets"?

Thank you.

!/usr/bin/ruby

require 'rubygems'
require 'snmp'

ifTable_columns = ["ifDescr", "ifInOctets", "ifOutOctets"]
SNMP::Manager.open(:host => '10.0.0.10', :community => 'public') do |manager|
manager.walk(ifTable_columns) do |row|
row.each { |vb| print "\s#{vb.value}" }
puts
end
end

I see you figured it out, but the Ruby SDK for Splunk wouldn't be much help here. It's a core Ruby question, and not really something involving Splunk. There are a lot more Rubyists actively answering questions on Stackoverflow, so you'll probably get faster responses there.
