Thanks again Adam,

Is there a way to add MIBs or customise or added devices? I have downloaded the MIBs for the blade chassis but cannot find any documentation on where to place it and how to incorporate it.

When I discover the device it says it is treating it as generic. I am guessing that it uses a generic set of MIBs to interrogate it. So I am wondering if I can create another device, based on generic, and add the downloaded MIBs.

If it doesn't see the switchports, that means it doesn't populate ifmib, or their description contains 'virtual' -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

Observium finds the controller very easily, but doesn’t find any of the switch ports.

Sorry - apologies for my ignorance.

I had assumed MIB files on observium were used to decide what to objects to get information about from a device and hence I could add a MIB file in to get additional information. A bit of a simplistic view I guess.

Is there a way that I can create my own custom devices?

Mibs aren't what you think they are :)

Mibs are just the snmp equivalent of DNS. They don't autogenerate code! -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity. Ian Armstrong Ian.Armstrong@weltec.ac.nz wrote: Thanks again Adam,
