Yes it is a group of scalar. In my little example it is only one group, but it
can potentially be many groups. There will never be other groups in a group
that has scalars, but one group can have 2 group of scalars.
For example it could be something like this. Can all these scalar be counted in
the main group of test , or the groups of test1 , test2 , test31 and test32 ?
+--myCompany(40463)
|
+--test(1)
|
+--test1(1)
|
+-- -R-- String testInfo(1)
| Textual Convention: DisplayString
+-- -R-- String testPlacementCountry(2)
| Textual Convention: DisplayString
+-- -R-- Integer32 testCounter(3)
+--test2(2)
|
+-- -R-- String testSomething(1)
| Textual Convention: DisplayString
+-- -R-- String testSomething2(2)
| Textual Convention: DisplayString
+-- -R-- Integer32 testSomething3(3)
+--test3(3)
|
+--test31(1)
|
+-- -R-- String testSomethingMore(1)
| Textual Convention: DisplayString
+-- -R-- String testSomethingMore2(2)
| Textual Convention: DisplayString
+-- -R-- Integer32 testSomethingMore3(3)
+--test32(2)
|
+-- -R-- String testSomethingElse(1)
| Textual Convention: DisplayString
+-- -R-- String testSomethingElse2(2)
| Textual Convention: DisplayString
+-- -R-- Integer32 testSomethingElse3(3)
Thanx. I will look into the function netsnmp_register_scalar_group and see if
it will work for what I need.

So this is a group of scalar objects - correct?

Have a closer look at the code you are using to register the OID:
> netsnmp_register_scalar(
> netsnmp_create_handler_registration(... test_oid ...));
You are telling the agent
"here is a (single) scalar object with the oid 'test_oid' "
The agent is therefore processing incoming requests
based on this structure - a single scalar object
MYCOMPANY-APP-MIB::test
The only valid instance of a scalar object is the one with the
subidentifier .0 - which is exactly what the agent is reporting.
So the agent is working correctly, based on what has been
registered. If you wish to register a set of related scalar OIDs,
then try using
netsnmp_register_scalar_group(
netsnmp_create_handler_registration(.....),
1, 3);
which tells the agent that there are multiple scalar objects
to register.
There are various examples of what this sort of handler should
look like in the 'mibgroup/mibII' code. See ip.c, udp.c, tcp.c
for ideas
