Hello list,

Let me get this out of the way; I am not a developer.

Anyway, I have the pleasure of supporting a network that has older Nortel and Avaya devices on it. I’ve added them to observium and as expected they are showing up as generic devices. I browsed through the developer section on how to add new device support and I have followed those steps and have added some very basic support for Nortel switches (OS version and Serial Number)

First question – would this extra support be of any interest to the Observium devs?

I’d like to add more meaningful information such as CPU/Memory utilization, flash usage, etc. However, that step appears to be a bit more challenging. Second question – is this documented somewhere or do I need to “reverse engineer” this support from the existing scripts?

Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,

AJ Schroeder
