I know how to make a custom sensor from a single SNMP OID, but is there any way I can make a custom sensor that has multiple, related, OIDs. I want to be able to easily correlate the values of several OIDs over time, similarly to what I can do with an SNMP traffic sensor.

Second question, related to the first. Is there any way I can set up a custom sensor template with one or more interesting OIDs, that I can then apply to to several devices? Also, how about a custom OID template that I can apply to a single device, but with many different instances. I'm thinking of the way you can apply an SNMP traffic sensor to several interface instaces on a device.

Thanks in advance.

I'm afraid SNMP Custom sensors only allow for one OID. It is not possible to add mutliple OIDs to a single SNMP Custom sensor, sorry.

As regards templates for particular OIDs (re: custom sensors), this is possible using standard device template procedures. Please have a look at Create Device Template.
