1) I have some devices that aren't known to Observium that I'd like to track. I've followed the instructions at http://observium.org/wiki/Developing/NewOS and made a new OS type for Ubiquiti EdgeOS routers. Diff here: http://www.tapodi.net/~jda/dev/edgeos.diff http://www.tapodi.net/%7Ejda/dev/edgeos.diff Did I do that correctly, and if so, how do I contribute it back into Observium?
2) Is there a preferred way to handle point to multipoint aggregation devices such as DSLAMs, GPON OLTs, and Wireless APs where you have client signal levels, modulation, etc? In particular I'd like to add support for Ubiquiti and Canopy APs where one would track multiple metrics for each associated client in addition to metrics from the device itself. E.g. Stats for the downlink can be gathered from the AP, but uplink has to be gathered from the client radios. Clients are only loosely associated with APs (they are discovered through a AP, can migrate to other APs, and don't have a static IP address). Client devices like this break the hostname-required rule but perhaps it isn't mandatory if they are discovered via the AP?
