Because you probably spent more time creating shitty line graphs only of use to you than it would have taken to write a proper poller module, which would have been useful to more people.

So far I think it's working, even if it is a pain to calculate which AP MAC address translates to which OID.... _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium@observium.org [mailto:observium@observium.org] http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium [http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium]
