It's less the case that /anyone/ who uses the custom oid stuff should be writing poller code instead, it's more the case that the custom oid stuff gives the people who would be capable of writing poller code a way of solving the problem just for them, rather than for everyone.Normally when you solve a problem in Observium, it's solved for everyone. When something is solved with the custom oid stuff, it's solved for that one user. Very inefficient, and really should only be used for stuff that is too complex/difficult to fit into our existing infrastructure.adam.On 24/11/2015 16:04:25, Tim Vaughan <tim@timvaughan.co.uk> wrote:
I didn't realise there was a better way to do it. Manually tracking down MAC addresses for each AP was pretty painful - I'll very happily delete the OIDS and do it the proper way. Is there documentation anywhere for this?_______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium@observium.org http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observiumOn Tue, Nov 24, 2015 at 3:58 PM, Adam Armstrong <adama@memetic.org> wrote:Because you probably spent more time creating shitty line graphs only of use to you than it would have taken to write a proper poller module, which would have been useful to more people.It was never difficult for us to do this stuff, we just always thought it was a terrible, terrible idea, and that it'd just encourage people to turn their Observium installations into unmanageable monstrosities.adam.On 24/11/2015 15:56:01, Tim Vaughan <tim@timvaughan.co.uk> wrote:

Just wanted to say thankyou for adding support for Custom OIDs. Using a combination of this article http://www.maartenmoerman.nl/?p=649 and this one http://awesomeadmin.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/monitoring-cisco-wireless-controller.html I was able to add graphs to track how many clients are on each of our individual access points._______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium@observium.org http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observiumSo far I think it's working, even if it is a pain to calculate which AP MAC address translates to which OID....
