Hi,
I have a few Panasas devices that (not surprisingly) Observium doesn’t handle very well. It basically only get the uptime out of it.
The devices are similar to this : http://www.panasas.com/products/activestor-16-18
I have attached debug discovery, poller and snmpwalk of the top tree and enterprise parts. I also have attached the mibs from the device (retrieved from the device itself) and a logo (retrieved from http://www.panasas.com/news/press-room )
It looks like there is very little in the standard places and every interesting thing has been shoved into the enterprise tree.
Do you think it is possible to add support for these devices ?
Best regards, Louis

Hi Louis,
We can certainly add support for unusual devices, but it can get a little expensive depending upon how much of the device you want supported, since it can get a little time consuming in terms of MIB investigation and writing of code to handle the new device and its MIBs.
Thanks, adam. On 26/02/2016 11:20:20, Louis Bailleul louis.bailleul@pgs.com wrote: Hi, I have a few Panasas devices that (not surprisingly) Observium doesn’t handle very well.

Hi Adam,
Thanks for the answer. I understand that parsing vendors mibs can as time consuming as unpleasant and so is writing code to overcome their quirks.
I am not very fussy with these devices as there are end of life here, which means that minimum support would be enough. The only thing that I really care about would be the network throughput of the system, secondly would be cpu and then disk ios.
Would you think this is the kind of thing that could be added without too much hassle ?
Best regards, Louis
