Hi
I have an OID that i need to get info from.
The problem is that the SNMP server assigns OIDs to the top-10 objects .. i.e. objects dont get a fixed OID (!!).
So i need to be able to write a script that queries the top-10 objects for the object im looking for. Then feeds the SNMP OID back in to get the data value that i want..
Can i use PRTGs SNMP engine, and also use the credentials stored with the device?
Cheers

That sounds a lot like an SNMP Table. You might want to refer to:

While you won't be able to use PRTG's built-in SNMP Engine, you can use any other application/script/program that you want. PRTG is very flexible regarding custom scripts and sensors and this shouldn't be hard to implement. The deployed sensor can be configured to forward the %host and/or %snmpcomunity variables (and any other parameters) to the sensor at execution time, this way you don't need to hard-code settings in the script. Please refer to the links below for examples:
