Hello;
I recently have installed the Community version of Observium on a CentOS 7 server, to test the functionalities and the configurations that gives; to decide if I it's worth to purchase for the Professional one.
My question is about how can I select wich MIBs is going to use to obtain data. Because when I go to Devices -> Select Device -> Properties -> MIBs I find a list of MIBs that are used but not suitable for my device. How can I change it?
Entering through the server's folders I have seen that are the MIBs that I need. How can I run it to get the appropiate data?
Thanks!
MIBs don't really do what you think they do. If someone hasn't written code to support a MIB, then someone needs to write code to support the MIB before the MIB is useful.
You can't just put a MIB in a directory and expect stuff to work. There are no MIB elves.

Hi!
Ok, I think I understand what you mean. But how I have to create the code to support the MIBs for an specific device? And where I have to load this code to start monitoring more parameters. Is there any manual or example code to do it?
I found online that in the professional version is included, ( http://www.maartenmoerman.nl/?p=649) is it true?
Thanks!

Hi Xavier,
The Custom OID feature is used to graph OIDs for which there is no support (usually obscure stuff for which it doesn't make much sense to write specific support for).
The better route is usually to write specific support for the device, but this can be complex if you don't have SNMP/PHP skills internally.
We will usually add basic support for devices when we find out about them, but more complex support depends upon the device either being fairly common among our user base, or someone paying to have support added.
