hello my monitoring tool only shows a integer output of my temperature sensor.

Output now is 235 i want it like 23.5 celsius is this possible...

Hardware i use is APC PDU AP8659 & APC Sensor AP9335TH

OID i use is 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.26.10.2.2.1.8 from MIB powernet421.mib

Hello,

The description of this OID is: Sensor temperature reading in tenths of degrees Celsius which I do think you already understand.

This means that either you as the user or the SNMP tool you're using must know to move the decimal point over to provide the output as 23.5.

I don't think decimal responses are typically provided in SNMP based on the supported formats for numbers really only being integers, timeticks, etc so this is the norm that you usually need to transform the value to move the decimal place. Many SNMP tools I think also offer this capability to add a rule or something to move the decimal place for you.
