Hi folks,

we want to try to add some functionality to OpenNMS to enhance
monitoring for fibre channel equipement.

Instead of collecting interface information from the standard mib2 tree
we need informations from the fibrechannel-mib. Datacollection for error
counters etc. works without problems, but we need informations like the
port alias name from

        ".1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.6.2.1.36" instance="swFCPortIndex"
alias="swFCPortName"

or the WWN's of the ports.

Questions:

1. Is there already work in progress in this direction where we can join
in?

2. Which approach would you suggest for collecting the data?
- Add code to the part where nodescan is checking the device and branch
there if snmpiftype=56 for fc interfaces
- Add code in some part of linkd/provisiond for the devices to be
checked if the sysoid points to a known fibre channel equipement

3. Where do you suggest to store the data?
- extend snmpinterface table
- add a new table like fcinterface

4. Any hint where to start in the source code?

Thanks for anny suggestions

-Michael
