  • Wireless network monitoring…

    Posted by rickpcb on October 24, 2008 at 12:44

    I am looking to put together a monitoring/graphing package for a wireless ISP, and was hoping someone has tried something similar and could let me know if this software is capable… Besides normal server monitoring, I need the following features:
    Response time (latency)
    Packet loss
    Interfaces up/down
    Interface errors/discards
    Traffic receive/transmit
    Memory used/available
    CPU load
    Disk space used/available
    Applications (started, stopped, timed out)
    Signal to noise
    Channel
    TX power
    DHCP Leases used/available
    Events (e.g. node down/up, rebooted, app reset)
    Top 10 type displays for all fields (value definable later)
    Thresholds set for each category to color code stats (yellow=warning, red=down)
    Map type display (nodes to change color if thresholds are exceeded in any function category)
    Statistics display
    Graph over time display
    Customizable reporting (e.g. past 24 hours, past 30 days, between x-y dates or times)
    Description field for node (name/number contact info)

    Signal to noise ratio, TX power and DHCP leases seem to be the main features I am not finding in the software I am evaluating… anyone who has ideas, it will be greatly appreciated.

    I’m afraid you’re going to need the MIB to do all that using SNMP

    If you’re able to get all those parameters from a log, or accessing a web page, it’s possible.

    We would be using SNMP… although it is not looking like this product will support all of the requirements without a substantial amount of work… any additional experience using this software in a similar environment?

    Thanks!

    Well, you only have two shoots here, just one using SNMP with the proper MIB (I guess the majority of those parameters can be gathered from SNMP, as long as the device is more or less a good one) or if that device has a Linux embedded you can install an agent there.

    Again, I would go under the SNMP wing.

    The amount of work will depend on the amount of MIB you have to enter in the SNMP console, and testing to be sure that is the parameter you want to monitor.
