So, Im trying to query a LSI Raid card. I have all that working, but I want to return the serial # from a disk. It looks like this: 6SL3VY820000B2410SZ1
But when I query it I get a value back its just 0. I don't really care what I see here, but I want to make sure this serial number is included in an email notification.
Furthermore, is it at all possible to have the SNMP message as a searchable value?
I want to add a screenshot, but I can't right now for some reason.

Hello Nicholas,
thank you for your KB-Post.
If you point an SNMP Custom String sensor to the relevant OID, it should display the Serial Number in the sensor's message. The sensor's message should be part of the notification. But you can't locate it via the search in PRTG.
However, if you want to monitor an LSI controller, I strongly encourage you to try our ready-to-use template, available here:
The template monitors both physical and logical(virtual) drives. The physical drives are named after the serial number of the drive (pdSerialNumber (1.3.6.1.4.1.3582.4.1.4.2.1.2.1.37)).
If you have any questions or encounter any issues using this template, please report it within the actual LSI topic/post, to keep things in one place.
Best Regards,
