I think there is some confusion here; I’m not trying to hide anything, just didn’t feel it needed a paragraph to explain since we are both technical. But, as you requested, here is more detail…
We have an Acme Packet Session Boarder Controller 3820 running SCX6.4.0 and would like to add the OID’s to monitor number of concurrent sessions (1.3.6.1.4.1.9148.3.2.1.1.5.0) and percent of licensed sessions in-use (1.3.6.1.4.1.9148.3.2.1.1.10.0). Observium is already monitoring the health (processor, memory, etc) and ports (M00, eth0, eth1, etc). But the function of an SBC is call handling and we would like to graph things relative to its function; starting with the two above OID’s.
What is your design ethos?

We don't have the ability to add arbitrary OIDs, by design. If we did, we'd be just as annoying as Cacti.
If you explained what you actually wanted to do, perhaps there might be some scope for adding support for those OIDs.
This goes for everyone asking a question of this type (of which there have been quite a few, recently). Don't hide the information and ask for instructions on how to perform what you believe the solution is to the problem you refuse to explain. No one is going to do that. Explain exactly what the issue is or what problem you are trying to solve, and someone may already have a solution or be willing to create a proper solution.
Observium is the wrong place to expect to do these kinds of labour intensive manual bodges, it's absolutely contra to our design ethos.

Hi all,
I have a device (Linux based Session Boarder Controller) that Observium is monitoring fine, but I would like to add 2 specific OID’s to this device for Observium to poll and graph. Any “how-to” help here would be great.
Thanks,
