Check_MK Werk 3414: New declarator BINARY(...) for OIDs - returning a list of byte values

ID: 3414 Title: New declarator BINARY(...) for OIDs - returning a list of byte values Component: Checks & Agents Level: 1 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.9i1 When declaring OIDs in SNMP based checks you can now include the OID into <tt>BINARY</tt>. This will then create a list of bytes instead of a string. E.g. <tt>BINARY('5')</tt> will fetch the end OID 5 and convert the string values into lists of bytes, into <tt>[0, 33, 85, 10, 7, 186]</tt> instead of <tt>'\x00!U\n\x07\xba'</tt>. This allows to tackle a problem with the new version 1.2.8 that otherwise automatically interpretes all strings as UTF-8.
