With the help of others in thwack, I have a custom poller configured so that I can monitor my Cisco IronPort C160 email security appliance (ESA). I have the pollers assigned and they are collecting data. The issue is, how can I display this data so that it is of any use to someone looking at the NPM console? For example, one of the pollers checks the RAID status. This returns a value for each drive in the system (such as 0, 1, 2, etc.) depending on the drives' status. I want to translate this into a meaningful display, just like the hardware monitor for our Dell PowerEdge servers (see image below). It can be simple, like a red/yellow/green icon or simple text like "OK" and "Failed".
For some OIDs, it is easy like a voltage level, and I can just display that with a gauge (linear or radial), but what about the values that represent a condition? Has anyone done this?
Jim
