Creating a Custom Module based on OIDs?

Question

Hi,We have some IBM MQ devices that we want to monitor.&nbsp; We found some MQ items in the LM Repository, but those are for monitoring the MQ application.&nbsp; We also need to monitor the device for CPU and Memory.I was given the following information and told we should see about monitoring them.&nbsp; I'm not sure if I can modify something to get started or if we'd have to create something from scratch.&nbsp; I'm not familiar with creating anything like this and am hoping someone can point me to something similar I can use and modify or or figure out how to create this from scratch.Thanks!Below are the numeric OID and their respective full details - It shows the CPU usage and also at last 3 different intervals 1 min 5 min and 15 min.1.3.6.1.4.1.14685.4.1.521.1.0 = Gauge32: 2 %.1.3.6.1.4.1.14685.4.1.521.2.0 = STRING: 0.14 %.1.3.6.1.4.1.14685.4.1.521.3.0 = STRING: 0.31 %.1.3.6.1.4.1.14685.4.1.521.4.0 = STRING: 0.34 %IBM-MQ-APPLIANCE-STATUS-MIB::mqStatusSystemCpuStatusCpuUsage.0 = Gauge32: 3 %IBM-MQ-APPLIANCE-STATUS-MIB::mqStatusSystemCpuStatusCpuLoadAvg1.0 = STRING: 0.27 %IBM-MQ-APPLIANCE-STATUS-MIB::mqStatusSystemCpuStatusCpuLoadAvg5.0 = STRING: 0.34 %IBM-MQ-APPLIANCE-STATUS-MIB::mqStatusSystemCpuStatusCpuLoadAvg15.0 = STRING: 0.34 %And below Filesystem Monitors - Can we set alerts if the Free is less than 50% of Total for all three different readings &nbsp;- Total encrypted/Free encryptes - Total temp/Free Temp - Total Internal/Free Internal.1.3.6.1.4.1.14685.4.1.29.1.0 = Gauge32: 23223 Mbytes.1.3.6.1.4.1.14685.4.1.29.2.0 = Gauge32: 29857 Mbytes.1.3.6.1.4.1.14685.4.1.29.5.0 = Gauge32: 4036 Mbytes.1.3.6.1.4.1.14685.4.1.29.6.0 = Gauge32: 4096 Mbytes.1.3.6.1.4.1.14685.4.1.29.7.0 = Gauge32: 3071 Mbytes.1.3.6.1.4.1.14685.4.1.29.8.0 = Gauge32: 3072 MbytesIBM-MQ-APPLIANCE-STATUS-MIB::mqStatusFilesystemStatusFreeEncrypted.0 = Gauge32: 23223 MbytesIBM-MQ-APPLIANCE-STATUS-MIB::mqStatusFilesystemStatusTotalEncrypted.0 = Gauge32: 29857 MbytesIBM-MQ-APPLIANCE-STATUS-MIB::mqStatusFilesystemStatusFreeTemporary.0 = Gauge32: 4036 MbytesIBM-MQ-APPLIANCE-STATUS-MIB::mqStatusFilesystemStatusTotalTemporary.0 = Gauge32: 4096 MbytesIBM-MQ-APPLIANCE-STATUS-MIB::mqStatusFilesystemStatusFreeInternal.0 = Gauge32: 3071 MbytesIBM-MQ-APPLIANCE-STATUS-MIB::mqStatusFilesystemStatusTotalInternal.0 = Gauge32: 3072 Mbytes

You may want to look for the "Anatomy of a DataSource: SNMP" video on the LM Academy. If I remember correctly it does cover the process of creating custom SNMP-based DataSources. It likely uses the old Interface though, so it may look a bit different in the actual portal.
You can also look at just about any Datasource that uses the SNMP collection method, like for example "snmpTCPUDP". Some of them use a Script collection method which you can also try but unless you know groovy scripting, I would stick with SNMP collection as it's a bit easier and based on the info above, I don't think you need to get fancy with scripts.
Note that you will only need to use the OID numbers and not the MIB "BM-MQ-APPLIANCE-STATUS" stuff.
