Hi Nick,
All a MIB does is translate a numerical index into a text identifier
(with some information about what the value contains). We still need
to write code to understand the MIB and collect data from it.
We do support other devices by this manufacturer, so I'm not sure
exactly why it doesn't work, Tom might, though.

Adam,
I logged into the web interface of the PDU sensor, downloaded the MIB
file and then FTP'd it to the MIBS directory on my Linux box running
Observium. I am not naïve enough to think you would support every
device-at least not every device out of the box, so I copied up the
MIB and thought it might work. So if the MIB does not come with
Observium there is 0 chance of it working? Thanks for the speedy
reply, I appreciate it.

You can't "upload a MIB". MIBs don't work that way. They are like a
map, they aren't a self driving car.
Sounds like we don't support that device.

Good afternoon,
I added an Eaton ePDU (sensor), and obviously it is showing up as
Generic. I meant to upload the MIB prior but forgot. Any chance
that after a few pollings it will auto-associate? If not, can it be
linked manually? I looked under the Sensors Properties while
attempting to edit the device but it looks like a no go. Or, since
the MIB is now uploaded is it easier to delete the device and then
manually re-add it? Thanks in advance any help you can offer.
