Couldn't you just add the location to the snmpd.conf file? That's what we did and it got parsed into the location field on the next poll.

Subject: Re: [Observium] Setting Location

 

There's no way to do this currently that I'm aware of. We will face the same issue if we deploy Observium in production; hundreds of PDUs that we can't easily update the SNMP location on. So it's either writing an expect script to change the PDUs (probably correct solution), or writing a script on the Observium box to do the necessary mysql adds/updates (more fun solution).

 

Right now I'm not doing anything about it, it's just another item in the "risks" column. :)

Is there a way via command line to set the Location of a device?

 

For example, in the GUI you click on a given device and hover over the Gear in the far right.

Then click Properties.

 

Under the Device Settings tab there is a Custom Location.

 

This is the location I would like to set.

 

I ran an SNMP Enabler tool and enabled, set and added 100 devices today to Observium.  

Rather than set this individually, I was hoping I could do it in bulk via SSH.
