Hi Adam
We would be more than willing to at least investigate the costs, we can do this by giving access to a local unix / linux server here and plug in the Alcoma Radios and a few of the EdgeCores at this point we only make use of two models of EdgeCore switches and I totally agree they have gone the rather dim witted route of a MIB and OID per model. I would assume once you have the MIBS and access to the devices either directly of via snmpwalk etc you would have a better indication of the hours involved?
I have a few more tests do do with the existing test platform I have up and running, if all goes well which so for it is we will go for the paid subscription in a week or so from now

Hi Lyndon,
There are a number of changes to Ubiquiti support in the current subscription releases which haven't yet made their way to the CE version. We've added some infrastructure to begin polling p2p/fixed/licensed wireless and have support for AirFiber and SAF devices within this infrastructure so far.
http://alpha.memetic.org/~adama/snaps/OBSERVIUM_DERPERTRON_-_saf.a_-_Google_...
Shows an example of the initial p2p/fixed radio infrastructure in the UI.
We've recently split up a number of Ubiquiti device types and have indeed encountered their "interesting" older switches! You can see changes in our changelog, though it doesn't yet include changes from last month, that'll be done in the next few days.
A quick look at EdgeCore suggests that they've taken the frustrating route of creating a separate MIB and OID tree for each of their models, which is troublesome to support (you have to write support for each model, rather than for the family as a whole).
For paid device addition we usually just require the relevant set of MIBs and access to an example device or two. The amount of time things take is heavily dependent upon the structure of the vendor's MIB and the amount of data you want to poll from the device. We've a number of organisations who pay to have their devices supported
I'm actually currently on-site with eBay and spent some time with AMC last week adding some new features and support for them!

Hi All
So a few questions around the paid subscription and supported devices etc.
In the paid version we have more frequent updates, I assume that some of the issues I see now with supported devices may well be already fixed, I would be interested to hear from any paid subscription users what your experiences are, either on or off list is fine with me.
We are really impressed with the support level on the Cisco equipment. Obviously the more useful the MIB files are and the devices support for SNMP the more information is obtainable by Observium. We do however make use of other vendor equipment that is not on the supported list and although the basics of these devices work, more information would / could be available based on the device and the MIB files.
We make use of EdgeCore / Accton switches, Alcoma Microwave equipment, and Ubiquiti,
First off Ubiquiti support seems spotty, I see the FROGFOOT MIBs seem to be the default and although the UBNT MIBs are in the mibs directory I have not at yet seen a device that seems to use the UBNT MIBs. I would love to see RSSI noise, Capacity etc, obviously dependant on the radio / MIB ability, a few years ago we used Cacti and there was a plugin that did support the radio levels etc for the Stations so it must be possible via SNMP. Unless I am missing something I don't see these graphs. I know that UBNT’s SNMP support have generally been crap to say the least, combine that with some “interesting” hardwarre snmp v1…. Tough Switch and the quasi 5 or 8 port setup that is actually only 2 ports etc etc.
Alcoma is a fairly extensively used radio in both the licensed and ISM bands and they do have a fairly comprehensive looking MIB, we would be very interested in having much more detailed graphing and monitoring.
EdgeCore These switches also offer a fairly extensive MIB file and support.
We would be happy to look at paying for development work to be done to support these hardware platforms if we decide to use Observium. How to we go about requesting development work to be done?
Just a side note. We use the new airfibre radios and have noticed that Observium shows the in-band managed IP (management vlan) to show as down, even though this is the IP that Observium gets the SNMP details / polling from, I will check the bugs and see if this has been logged as yet.
Thanks Lyndon
