There is no doubt a very wide range of equipment that isn't supported by Observium. Nothing against Adam or the other developers, but there is more equipment types that Observium users or would-be users) would want to watch than they could reasonably code support for. That's the beauty of SNMP, a fairly low impact to support additional types of data assuming the manufacturer has provided the documentation (MIB) for it.

Subject: Re: [Observium] Custom SNMP OID

I have the same issue.
We are running a bunch of DSLAM (Zhone and Keymile) and we want to monitor
the numebr of calls, the temperature and so on (no more than 10 SNMP OID
checks).
How can I ask to add this kind of support?
Can I write my own check files for this hardware and (if it's working fine)
pull up on the main release? Where to start writing a custom check?
Regards
