<![CDATA[snmpOID is no longer returning the OID starting with dot]]>Hi,

$node.snmpOID

is no longer returning the OID starting with dot (.) , many scripts will need adjustments in version 5.0.
Is it a bug or implementation change?

Returned values are without the dot. So both of below lines will print "System description: 1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1"

println("System description: " .. $node.createSNMPTransport()?.getValue(".1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0") );
println("System description: " .. $node.createSNMPTransport()?.getValue("1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0") );

?. is safe dereference which appeared in 5.0 - should createSNMPTransport() return null, this will not produce script error.

What is the behavior if result of a SNMP-request is an OID itsself? Is this value returned without leading "."?
