The problem with using this style of template is that we assume that there are 
only the 4 sensors on any given device that we model and that the OIDs always 
match the to the same sensors (.1.2.0 -> Comms LH, .2.2.0 -> Comms RH, .3.2.0 
-> Serv LH, .4.2.0 -> Serv RH).

While this may be acceptable in this situation, i.e: the above assumption is 
correct, for something like disks you can't predict how many/what type there 
will be in a system and the data collector script automatically determines this 
when the host is modeled.

So if the above assumption is false, i.e: there may be a different number of 
sensors depending on the device or the sensors map to the OIDs differently from 
device to device, then creating a custom data collector would be the better 
solution.
