This is probably much better done as a syslog alert.

Since neither "active" nor "standby" is obviously an error, it's sometimes difficult to get the output you want from this type of status.

In any case, the way to do what you think you want is to add support for that OID as a status, but then it's difficult to use since you can't really tell Observium that active is bad... :D

I see that it's being polled as it's displayed for the device header.
as you can see attached.

This comes from checkpoint from the 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.5.6.0 OID:
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.5.6.0 = STRING: "active"

But I don't see any method to select that as an entity type?

Anyone have any pointers?
