SNMP: MIB import instead of manual OID typing

OID's are generally provided by the hardware manufacturers, or can be found in so-called OID repositories, where collections of MIB trees and the corresponding OIDs can be accessed.

Scenario: Add the IP of an HP switch and then choose the correct template.

    I see this is marked as "Planned" half a year ago. Any progress?

    I can not begin to tell you how frustrating it is dealing with SNMP templates. Why would they show up in random order, and order that may change from day to day or hour to hour. Who would do something like that and say, "yup, that's what I wanted"?
    It is imperative that sort order gets fixed on these templates. When there are many OIDs, it NEEDs to be in the order I say, not some random order.
    I believe the ideal should be that:
    a) Template order is the same as order entered. This means that what I see when initially making the template is how it will show on device.
    b) OIDs in both the "OIDs Values" area and the "Monitored OIDs" area need to be re-arranged as required.
    c) Sort by column or some other sort mechanism.

    We create templates in order to make all devices of a given device type and model the same.
    For example, EVERY TIME I use the template I created for MS810 Printer, IT MUST display (among other things), Toner max impressions followed by Toner remaining impressions, IN ORDER. When you re-arrange things, it means that everyone looking at it needs to read the OID and determine what each value refers to, rather than having every MS810 different.

    Currently, your SNMP templates are next door to useless.

    Not to reinvent the wheel, but given you already have a SNMP Template library, why not just add a MIB library.

    This will allow for different regions to upload customised MIB's in different languages, or alternative translations etc.

    Also consider templates that exist for other monitoring systems such as Zabbix. They have a large repository of widely used templates already created and community supported.

    Add custom MIB's as well - i.e. go to the manufacturer website and then upload the MIB's
