Modify Dial for Dell switches

Hello.

I found many posts on here for modifying the snapshot_dials.xml but I'm not sure what to do with the "type" value for the param entry if I am creating for a type that isn't already thre. I'm not sure if this points to the vendor or what exactly this is for.

Basically, I am wanting to modify the switch entries so a Dell PowerConnect 5524 will show the CPU utilization in the dial. From there I'm not sure where I'm going with the memory and backplane utilization as these switches don't seem to provide these values. I might just make another device category and change the other two dials.

Here is the CPU section from the Switch section of my snapshot_dials.xml...

<CATEGORY name="Switch">
<DIAL dialType="meter" displayName="webclient.devices.details.cpu" name="CPUUtilization" shortKey="CPU" unit="%">
<PARAM pollKey="CiscoNexusCPUUtilization" type="cisco nexus"/>
<PARAM pollKey="JuniperCPUload" type="juniper"/>
<PARAM pollKey="SwitchCPUUtilization" type="cisco"/>
<PARAM pollKey="ProCurveCPUUtilization" type="HP ProCurve"/>
<PARAM pollKey="NortelCPU" type="nortel"/>
<DEFAULT pollKey="CPUUtilization"/>
<PARAM pollKey="FoundryCPUUtilization" type="foundry"/>
</DIAL>
