'firewall' type close enough?
(covers anything UTM-ish...)
imo.

Pawel: you are not confusing ifName with?ifDescr perhaps?
Nope; we are using lots of tunnels and they are named indicating customer names. I never was a fan of eth0, eth1, eth1337 and stuff and I use proper interface names that have sense to humans pretty much everywhere I can. Both FreeBSD and Mikrotik lets you name interfaces how you see fit. Unfortunately FreeBSD doesn't expose description in SNMP, which I'd love to use to describe customers (ID, bw).
Our use for Observium is mainly monitoring our access network and customers' CPEs.

Seems like a bizarre thing to monitor. Are you doing this one some brain-dead platform that lets you change ifNames, like Extreme?
Worse. Mikrotik ;)
I don't think it's something which is particularly overhead-intensive, but it still strikes me as an odd thing to want to monitor.
Too many admins. Some of them have arbitrary approach to keeping things tidy ;>

Hi Guys,
Would it be possible to add a new device type to Observium? We would like a device type for 'Spam Filter' devices. It doesn't have to automatically change the Type to it, we can do that manually.
The current list: [cid:image001.png@01CF7A83.FDC3DD50]
