Are there currently any built-in ways (that I clearly would have missed in the documentation) to create/add custom parsing/metrics? For example; I am a telephony engineer and my routers do the normal route-y things, but they also do specialized things with specialized configurations that are not present on all or most routers (e.g Dial Peers).

Is there a way to define/capture configuration sections to parse (clearly, outside the bounds of SNMP, I get it..) and then either populate as a tile on the device page or some type of menu item added to the navigation bar; thinking perhaps the regex engine that is used to create the Syslog alerts or something..

I hate one-offing and "plugin'ing" code, cause then that's something I have to support; so I'm committed to using OB the way its offered, just trying to see if there was a creative way to get this done..
