[rrd-users] CDEF: comparing Strings

[Andre Luis]

how do I do that? ..
it's a xml script..
the part where the status is taken is this one:
<StatusServer>
<name>StatusServer</name>
<method>get</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>output</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.4.1.140.625.360.1.60</oid>
</StatusServer>
