Has anyone created an adapter for NetScout probes? The ZipTie generic SNMP adapter works somewhat, but I'm not sure how to map output to the correct XML tags to relate make, model and OS information. If there is anyone with more experience on creating adapters, your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I don't see one listed on

Have you checked out the resources on http://www.ziptie.org/zde? There is a lot out there to help you create an adapter.
NetScout Probes
We have successfully created a basic ZipTie adapter using Generic SNMP. The adapter is able to extract make, model and OS version information; along with generic interface stats. More specific information about the device; such as serial number and configuration do not appear accessible via SNMP. The application or system management uses a communication program or tool called DVTools. More specifically, DVLOGIN performs TTY emulation over IP. This looks nothing like Telnet or SSH over the wire, because it uses SNMP (we think). It behaves like Telnet or SSH from a CLI access method point of view. Is there an equivalent communication method or protocol via PERL for DVLOGIN? See http://www.tridia.com (DoubleVision Pro) or http://www.tridia.com/products/dv.html for more info. Could really use some help trying to emulate this DVLOGIN through the adapter so we can extract serial number and configuration data. Thanks!
