Hi,
I ran across a graphing script on github that caught my eye. It reportedly graphs device to device links in Observium (sort of like cacti + Network Weathermap). It uses a table called obserium.links which I don’t have. Google hasn’t been able to give me any leads other than, of course, the developer. I’m wondering if anyone happens to know if it’s possible to associate device ports in this manner… e.g. Device 25, port 287 links to Device 37, port 460. Today I use cacti and weathermap for this.
Thanks,
Joey
Hi Joey,
We populate this table by quering your devices for LLDP, CDP and a few other link protocols. If your devices support this, you may need to enable its use. If not, we have no way of linking things.

Yeah Mikrotik, to the best of my knowledge, still doesn’t support LLDP. It does support reading of CDP but not exporting over SNMP. They have their own protocol called MNDP (Mikrotik Network Discovery Protocol). The Mikrotik MIB has some items which appear (but I don’t know) to be related under the
mtxrNeighborTable
section. Someone more knowledgable than I would need to poke at it to see if it indeed returns neighbors.

We read this table already (in the subscription version) - it mixes L2 and L3 discovery though, so it's not ideal. It will expose CDP neighbours + any Mikrotik devices on the same L3 subnet. I have one mikrotik per site so it does return "useful CDP" for my install though. :-)

Oh um, out of interest, do you have a link to the script on github? :-)
