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.

It was never difficult for us to do this stuff, we just always thought it was a terrible, terrible idea, and that it'd just encourage people to turn their Observium installations into unmanageable monstrosities.

Sigh. This is *precisely* why I never wanted to do "Custom OID" stuff.

Just wanted to say thankyou for adding support for Custom OIDs. Using a combination of this article http://www.maartenmoerman.nl/?p=649 and this one http://awesomeadmin.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/monitoring-cisco-wireless-controller.html I was able to add graphs to track how many clients are on each of our individual access points. 

So far I think it's working, even if it is a pain to calculate which AP MAC address translates to which OID....
