That's an option for a future release, but it's not slated for the next version of Orion.

I've got a custom mib setup to display the serial number of our Cisco switches.

Jon,
Excellent! Is it uploaded to the Content Sharing Zone? If not, attach to this thread?

I am assuming that this only works for devices where the serial # is not specific to the chassis? In other words a lot of Cisco router / switches do not have the chassis serial number encoded anywhere on the device so there is nothing to read electronically just the sticker on the device.
The custom pollers I've put in the sharing zone, work for our 2950, 2960, 2970, 3560 and 3750 switches I don't know about routers as we don't have any.
I have it running in our environment, on routers it is reporting the processor board ID (i.e. what you get from a 'show ver') rather than the chassis serial number.
Thank you for this poller, seems to work fine.
