Neither the webui nor the console menu system is fun for 300+ PDUs. :)
If these were server nodes, I'd just use salt to update the location by cluster. With network devices we can push it using rancid. With the PDUs...we're stuck.

As long as we set "location" properly in the WebUI (or via the config file) on our APC PDUs the locations make it into Observium.

I missed the PDU part, so not sure how your device implements snmp data, but for all are servers we just programatically set this value and it comes through during polling. You could also probably get away with a mysql insert.

Are you talking about adding the location to the snmpd.conf file on the node being polled?

Couldn't you just add the location to the snmpd.conf file? That's what we did and it got parsed into the location field on the next poll.

There's no way to do this currently that I'm aware of. We will face the same issue if we deploy Observium in production; hundreds of PDUs that we can't easily update the SNMP location on. So it's either writing an expect script to change the PDUs (probably correct solution), or writing a script on the Observium box to do the necessary mysql adds/updates (more fun solution).
Right now I'm not doing anything about it, it's just another item in the "risks" column. :)

Is there a way via command line to set the Location of a device?
For example, in the GUI you click on a given device and hover over the Gear in the far right.
Then click Properties.
Under the Device Settings tab there is a Custom Location.
This is the location I would like to set.
I ran an SNMP Enabler tool and enabled, set and added 100 devices today to Observium.
Rather than set this individually, I was hoping I could do it in bulk via SSH.
