Previously, the extreme_vsp_switches_temperature check would fail with a TypeError when it encountered SNMP data where the sensor description was empty. This issue for example occured on devices of the 8600 series.

This werk resolves the problem by attempting to identify the sensor using an alternative OID. If no identifying information can be found, the check will not create a service for the sensor.
