Hi,
A MIB existing in the MIBs directory doesn’t mean we have any support for it. To support a MIB someone has to write code for it.
The MIB you mention seems moderately complex, a few tables. I’m not familiar with what it’s monitoring though, so I’m not sure how sensible it is to collect all of that.
We don’t have any support for any non-SNMP at all beyond what the unix-agent does. It’s not really difficult to do, it’s just not really something our userbase asks for.

Hi all,
I do have two questions with different topics, but I didn't want to send multiple emails. Hope you don't mind.
First question is probably very simple, however I cannot find out - I need to collect information from Cisco devices using " CISCO-NETWORK-VIRTUALIZATION-OVERLAY-MIB". This MIB is part of Observium. How I will "activate" collecting these MIB values from a device please? I do have almost all modules active and I don't know how to add MIB to a certain device (not all devices, just 3 of them).
Second question - as more and more devices (such as Arista) are giving up on SNMP turning slowly to REST APIs or similar methods, is there any way to push information to Observium using its own (python/php) script? I would imagine any kind of value mapping to graphs and then collecting values from scripts or JSON file....
Thank you for your time and support.
Marian
