Hi, I'm polling by snmp a router but the data polled need a date concatenated for each value, I'm doing this: snmpwalk -v 1 -c any 10.1.1.1 OID | awk 'BEGIN {OFS=","} {print $1,$2";"}' and result is: 74,289; this means (IF-id,Value) and I need attach the date to the values like this: 74,289,19:35:49; (IF-id,Value,Date) There is any way I could do this? regards, Xoir

If you want to add the same time (time of execution) for every line : snmpwalk -v 1 -c any 10.1.1.1 OID | \ awk -v OFS="," -v TIME="`date +'%H:%M:%S'`" \ '{print $1,$2,TIME ";"}' If you want to add the real time (time when the line is proceeded) for every line, you can do something like this : snmpwalk -v 1 -c any 10.1.1.1 OID | \ awk -v OFS="," -v TIME="date +'%H:%M:%S'" \ 'function Time( t) { TIME | getline t close(TIME) return Time } { print $1,$2,Time() ";" }' Jean-Pierre.

Yep, the first options should be what I need, but the other is a cool stuff exercise thanks Jean! Xoir
