I'm not really sure what you mean.

As default we use ifDescr. There are config options you can apply to a device definition to use ifName or ifAlias for those OSes which mangle things.

So long as the string you want to use isn't an easily changeable one (i.e. not like the port description on a cisco device), then you can use it by setting the required definition value. You can see examples in includes/definitions/os.inc.php

You can also see in here how to "create" an os. It's largely just a definition, with some sysDescr or sysObjectId matching rules. And a logo, perhaps!

Actually, what would help is the ability to rename a port so that we can rename it from WLAN0 (which all APs show as) to the name of the actual port. 

With that feature, I'm sold.

Ahh right so we can't just drop MiBs in and add support for new SNMP devices?

To be honest it seems to be showing *some* smoothwall data, the basics like port throughput. There's a whole lot of graph errors though. 

The MSM controllers appear to be not bad but all the access points, which report via the controllers, show up as WVLAN0 which makes graphs for them hard to find. Observium does show the MAC of the wifi AP so it's not bad.

I'll leave it running over the weekend. 

Thanks

Adding support for new devices, MIBs and services requires writing code, or at the very least some definition arrays.

You can look at the existing code for examples, we try to keep our code simple, so long as you already understand SNMP and RRD. 

Supporting WiFi is... complex. I'm not sure what a Smoothwall device is likely to return that's different to any other net-snmp device. Can you even tell that it's smoothwall from SNMP?

If he sent updates via SNMP then it would be the dullest, though oddly addictive, stream to date.

Hi all

What's the best way to add MiBs to Observium?

Specifically I want to support HP MSM 760 WiFi controllers and also Smoothwall firewalls.
