OK, I was on 17.9.8838.
I did see the autodiscovery option, but seeing some weird behavior also.
When I initially got into the overview page for a custom OID it loads all devices in Observium.....this takes minutes to finish. I have a lot of devices...on a smaller setup it is likely not a problem.
When I change to line or stacked view it loads only the devices matching the OID.
If I then go in there and turn off autodiscovery I'd expect that I could then pick the devices I'd want to see in the custom OID, but this does not happen.....the overview stays the same.
...however with one exception : if I let the overview page finish (by waiting a few minutes) and then turn off autodiscovery, it gives me the view I'd expect.....but only until I leave that page....if I go back to it again it lists all devices again.
I just saw a new stable was released (8843) and upgraded to it today and it seems this fixes the issue. Thanks.

Hi Jesper,
You can now set a customoid template to be autodiscovered or not. This was added a week or so ago.
For selective graphing, that's not something that's easily done, it'd need some new UI things created (we actually don't have the ability to create arbitrary multi-entity graphs for anything yet).

Didn't have the best effect on my system as it mapped hundreds of individual Isilon nodes to a long range of custom OIDs I had created.
So lessons learned / feature requests :
- Previously one could pick (one by one or multi select) the devices
to be covered in a specific custom OID. THis option seems to have gone now. I'd like that option back, or alternatively be able to somehow filter or group devices. I also use the combined line or stack graphs for certain things and sometime need to show just a group of devices and not all. Right now with the new version I can only show either a single device or all devices as I cannot create custom OID groups and then narrow down what devices to show there.
- On systems like Isilon where you may want to both have cluster wide
data (so polling the cluster alias) but also monitor each node in the cluster, the lack of the above mentioned filtering/grouping is a problem as currently the custom OID will only work for me if I delete all individual nodes and only monitor the cluster alias.
On the other hand, now Servertech Sentry4 devices are better supported, so the net outcome of the upgrade was still positive for me.
