Good Morning! I hope you're all well.
I apologize if the question is inappropriate. I'm developing an IOT module and I use the "ENTITY" MIB for the sensors. I saw that Observium handles this MIB automatically, using the entPhySensorType OID to distinguish the sensor types and it works great, except for the temperature sensor, entPhySensorType value 8. I would like to understand if this has any special reason to adapt my code.
Thank you, congratulations on the software. -- Kleber Coelho Campus Fernando Costa Universidade de São Paulo (19) 3565-4321

Hi Adam, how are you?
Thanks for the feedback. The sensor is not recognized as being 'temperature', it is left as unknown. So it doesn't generate the graph automatically. An image follows. Please ignore manufacturer, model, etc... data are fictitious.

Hi Mike, how are you?
Thanks for the reply, I really had a problem with my code, it sent the temperature with 4 digits and the precision OID was with a value of 0. In this situation the observium did not recognize the sensor as a temperature, but it was just a matter of adjusting the precision value to the correct scale (2) that the sensor was recognized correctly. Thank you very much for your feedback.
Congratulations on the software, it is amazing!!! -- Kleber Coelho Campus Fernando Costa Universidade de São Paulo (19) 3565-4321

The inventory is not actually where the sensors are located, it's a different table that we just do some haphazard linking to the sensor table when IDs match.
I assume the sensor wasn't added because the invalid scale caused the sensor value to be translated to zero and ignored as an invalid sensor.
Mike probably didn't read the entire thread and though it was a problem with an real device :)

Have you actually verified that the device is returning the correct data?
It seems unlikely that out of millions of temperature sensors monitored via ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB, yours would be the only one that doesn't get identified as temperature, no?
Thanks, adam.

Hi Adam, I really like your way of communicating. huahua!!
As I said in the first message, I would like to understand if there is any other identification mechanism to adapt MY code.
In my tests I changed the value of the oid " entPhySensorType " and the observium was recognizing sensors of other types, such as humidity, fan, voltage, current, etc. The only one that it didn't recognize was the value 8, which is the temperature. I imagine there is some other parameter that the observium checks to recognize that it's a temperature sensor. That's what I'd like to know.

Good morning Adam,
I found (my) problem. The sensor was delivering a value above the precision scale of the oid "entPhySensorPrecision". By adjusting the precision the sensor was identified perfectly well. Again I apologize for this.
Everyone have a great weekend.
