When I add a Vivotek camera to Observium, works great for one, but when I try to add another one, the System name is the same (in this case h.264 mega-pixel network camera) and it will not add. The name of the device is different, what Observium "pulls in thru SNMP" is the same.
Already got device with SNMP-read sysName (h.264 mega-pixel network camera) and 'snmpEngineID' = 80005BA9017F000001 (jq-office-lobby-cam01.bcp.cat.com).
I see in JIRA that we are supposed to be able to add more devices with the same system name, but this is not working for the version I have of Observium 20.4.10371 (stable).
It is my "belief" that Vivotek is reporting back it's system name to SNMP incorrectly. I do not really "care" if the System Name is wrong, but I cannot add another camera at all.
This is what is in the camera configuration and I don't see any other location for a host name. [cid:image002.png@01D63DA5.852215B0]
If I do an snmpwalk on the device: SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: H.264 Mega-Pixel Network Camera
Observium is pulling what the camera is giving .... So is there a way to change this in the database or a way to say add it anyway?

Hi,
Do the devices have different snmpEngineIDs? It should allow you to add multiple devices with the same sysName.

Looks like they have the same engine ID - it's what the message is saying...

Yes, probably all cameras use same snmpEngineID.. This Oid main for check duplicate devices.. (set of sysName+snmpEngineID)
Dana, please make SNMP dump from two different cameras and send me:
snmpwalk -v2c -c <community> --hexOutputLength=0 -ObentxU <hostname> .1
myagent.snmpwalk snmpwalk -v2c -c <community> --hexOutputLength=0

Hi,
please try to add device after update to latest rolling revision r10484.
Should be fixed there (but seems device currently unsupported).
