Thanks for the reply Steve, The devices we are looking at today are Junipers so the sysiod does not include the software rev, I was aware of the using the name for the datasource method but it is a bit as you say its a bit cludgy, it comes with a graph of no data, and I think ( but could be wrong ) that we have to display the serial number ( or other OID ) with the host, it leads to some interesting discussions with customers like why are you suddenly trying to graph a serial number ?. Ideally it would be great to have something more flexible and have the option for this not to be displayed.
