Hi,

device_id isn't set by anything other than MySQL, it's the primary key on the devices table.

Greetings,

I've recently installed observium and find that it is a great tool.  Kudos for developing something so useful and easy to use.

I do have a couple of questions.

I desire to set the device_id for some of the devices to a specific value.  This is not supported in the interface.  It looks like I should be able to modify the code to allow me to do this, but before I do I wanted to check and see if there is already a way for me to accomplish this without having to modify the code.

I also desire to be able to add devices programatically via an API call from an external system.  I looked over the existing simple API (not extensively) but it didn't seem like that was possible.

So basically I want to be able to do something like: http://myserver/api.php?mydetails&including&device_id and have it add the device while specifying the device_id.  Is that possible?  If not, I'm probably going to build it. 

Thanks,

Rich
