If he sent updates via SNMP then it would be the dullest, though oddly addictive, stream to date.

What's the best way to add MiBs to Observium?

Specifically I want to support HP MSM 760 WiFi controllers and also Smoothwall firewalls.

Ahh right so we can't just drop MiBs in and add support for new SNMP devices?

To be honest it seems to be showing *some* smoothwall data, the basics like port throughput. There's a whole lot of graph errors though.

The MSM controllers appear to be not bad but all the access points, which report via the controllers, show up as WVLAN0 which makes graphs for them hard to find. Observium does show the MAC of the wifi AP so it's not bad.

I'll leave it running over the weekend.

Thanks

You can look at the existing code for examples, we try to keep our code simple, so long as you already understand SNMP and RRD.

Supporting WiFi is... complex. I'm not sure what a Smoothwall device is likely to return that's different to any other net-snmp device. Can you even tell that it's smoothwall from SNMP?

I'm not really sure what you mean.

As default we use ifDescr. There are config options you can apply to a device definition to use ifName or ifAlias for those OSes which mangle things.

So long as the string you want to use isn't an easily changeable one (i.e. not like the port description on a cisco device), then you can use it by setting the required definition value. You can see examples in includes/definitions/os.inc.php

You can also see in here how to "create" an os. It's largely just a definition, with some sysDescr or sysObjectId matching rules. And a logo, perhaps!

With that feature, I'm sold.

Not my choice dude. They are....well.....cost effective, lets say that.

Would rather have a Ruckus but there's no way we will get sign off to replace 300 APs and our cluster of controllers before the next millennium :)
