Hi,

You probably need to be a little more specific on what you've done and how you're doing it.

It's difficult to have an opinion with practically zero information (and worryingly, zero mention of SNMP).

Hi All,

I have an environment that uses Observium but a lot of our systems
that we need to keep track of and poll are having ICMP echo requests
turned off which makes polling a little difficult. So after making
backup copies of the files I am starting to make a module that polls
via SSH. Currently it's in the "works under conditions X" stage and I
had to bake it into some of the includes code (hence the copies). I
guess my main question is this something anyone is interested in being
submitted as an option? I'm currently working on the ability to make
it more of an automated process, and set up a flag that toggles
whether the poller works with ping or ssh. But, if this is so niche
that it's not really something cares about then cool, but I thought I
would ask in case it could be a useful feature to add for others?

And, if it is something that might seem useful then if there's a
preferred method of adding it over putting it directly into the
existing code I'm perfectly willing to go that route instead so I'm
not messing with anyone's flow.

Thanks,
Cailean
