Below is a sample log entry from SNMP:  I need to create an event extraction and include all the SMI Experimental variables.  The challenge is that the column/attribute names will change depending on the trap.   One time it may be “SNMPv2-SMI::experimental.94.1.11.1.3.80.6.4.130.241.201.63.128.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.129”: “129” and next event  may be “SNMPv2-SMI::experimental.94.1.11.1.3.80.6.4.130.241.201.63.128.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.80”: “80” Is there a “field” that will let me dump all the elements into the event extraction, regardless of the column name? { “event.type”: “LOG”, “content”: “SNMP trap (SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.1139.3) reported from \*.\*.\*.\*\n”, “status”: “NONE”, “timestamp”: “1683220514287”, “device.address”: “10.61.170.246”, “dt.entity.snmptraps:com\_dynatrace\_ext\_snmp-traps”: “CUSTOM\_DEVICE-”, “log.source”: “snmptraps”, “loglevel”: “NONE”, “snmp.trap\_oid”: “SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.1139.3”, “SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.1139.3.8888.1.0”: “2”, “SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.1139.3.8888.2.0”: “1207”, “SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.1139.3.8888.3.0”: “1043”, “SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.1139.3.8888.4.0”: “DG1\_F\_4”, “SNMPv2-SMI::experimental.94.1.11.1.3.80.6.4.130.241.201.63.128.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.129”: “129”, “SNMPv2-SMI::experimental.94.1.11.1.6.80.6.4.130.241.201.63.128.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.129”: “8”, “SNMPv2-SMI::experimental.94.1.11.1.7.80.6.4.130.241.201.63.128.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.129”: “4”, “SNMPv2-SMI::experimental.94.1.11.1.8.80.6.4.130.241.201.63.128.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.129”: “.0.0”, “SNMPv2-SMI::experimental.94.1.11.1.9.80.6.4.130.241.201.63.128.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.129”: “Symmetrix 000197600510 TPDataPool DG1\_F\_4 : Data Pool configuration has changed.”, “SNMPv2-SMI::experimental.94.1.6.1.20.80.6.4.130.241.201.63.128.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0”: “000197600510”, “SNMPv2-SMI::experimental.94.1.6.1.3.80.6.4.130.241.201.63.128.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0”: “11”, “snmp.version”: “1” } ---

[@Ed\_Cox](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/44592), In my case, I have uploaded MIB files to the ActiveGates, and now I don’t have OIDs, but their resolution name. Do you think it might help in your use-case? ---

Thank you, Antonio…I THINK I’m going to use the OID Trim function to help with this situation. I would still like a way to have a index for a OID so that I can reference with a variable. ---

I just open a new idea requesting something similar to this [https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Product-ideas/Would-it-be-possible-to-create-an-option-for-the-SNMP-Extension/idi-p/221425](https://community.dynatrace.com/post/221425)
