There is no easy way to fix this right now. We need a configuration
model for the SNMP stuff. However, following the discussions on the
SNMPv2 working group, I do not expect a standard solution in the near
term. So I just decided to wait what will happen.

The only way is to change a few lines of code in snmp_monitor.tcl.
You can either hard code what you need in proc show_variable, or you
can check the value of a stripchart attribute to decide what to do.
