Has there been any thought put into standardizing on the way solarwinds polls and stores? Please allow me to explain. One of the things i've noticed is that the canned stuff for solarwinds (cpu, memory, buffers, interfaces, etc.) are polled through an entirelly different process and the data collected is stored in various different locations. This makes it challenging when I have a node with multiple cpu's and have to create a custom poller because it will not show under the top 10 list, charts, etc.
Could you not say that polling an oid is polling an oid regardless of if it is a canned solarwinds view or not? This way you would have a table, or group of tables, that contained all the data for all the polling you are doing. Being able to group pollers would allow you to deal with the top 10's, charts, etc.
Random thoughts at the end of a random day.
Thanks!
