Re: v7.13 [stable] is released!

small note outside the version. . . hap ax2 if it had at least USB2 (better USB3.X) it would be an ideal small device and I think its sales would increase several times. . . This way we have ac2 with USB but little storage space and limited RAM, and ax2 without USB but with lots of RAM and enough s...

Re: v7.13 [stable] is released!

I upgraded my HAP AC2 from 7.12.1 to 7.13. Neither my 2.4 nor 5 GHz interfaces are visible in the Wifi / Menu. hAP AC2 is quite tight on storage, so check first, if wifi-qcom-ac module is successfully installed and listed in System->Packages? There should be 2: routeros and wifi-qcom-ac. After gett...

Re: Containerized SNMP monitoring (short term) - a step above built-in graphs

Some more detail as promised. Three different partitions (20 Gb each) were set up and formatted to host each of the containers (formatted as disks 7,8 and 9) Three different VETH interfaces created, each with their own IP and same common default gateway (docker bridge IP) Environment variable for th...

Re: Containerized SNMP monitoring (short term) - a step above built-in graphs

Hi Elico, My free time is a bit limited this time of the year, so I decided not to go through the learning for LibreNMS. Instead, I focused on getting Grafana, Prometheus and SNMP-Explorer going. So, last night, I installed these 3, did some config and tweaking, and lo and behold, I have a working s...

Re: Containerized SNMP monitoring (short term) - a step above built-in graphs

Haha - indeed Tangent - I was just getting lost there, and did not know what else to try. So, I went back to the drawing board, deleted all aspects, and restarted. That is when I saw that the bridge entry has become "unknown" Once i recreated that the server came up, was pinagable and I co...

Re: Containerized SNMP monitoring (short term) - a step above built-in graphs

Hi Amm0 and Tangent. Once again, excellent feedback. How would I go about to run the cmd or shell options? I see the cmd option at the container specification option, but now sure what to put in there? I am stuck Herewith the latest update, setup and status. With the below, the container is running ...

Re: Containerized SNMP monitoring (short term) - a step above built-in graphs

Thank you for the input Amm0. With documentation being a bit scarce (specific to Mikrotik), I followed along the guidelines in the Mikroik Help example for Pihole. https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Container But I will try your method as well. OK - Herewith some updates, and a request for a...

Re: Containerized SNMP monitoring (short term) - a step above built-in graphs

Update.

I change the root-dir to just /disk5
I also double checked the bridge setup, and found I placed the port on the main bridge, not the docker bridge.

I can now ping the host (172.x.1.7) and will do some tests later and update here.

Re: Containerized SNMP monitoring (short term) - a step above built-in graphs

Some updates and challenges I decided to proceed as follows: Approach: Create a container for MariaDB (This is a workable db for LibreNMS, and from initial reading seems to be faster and more efficient than mySQL at present) Create a container for LibreNMS. My thinking in this regard is that a) I ca...

Re: Containerized SNMP monitoring (short term) - a step above built-in graphs

Thanks a million Tangent.

That makes sense and clears it up.

I will post back with progress / issues.
Perhaps we can help someone else with similar needs.

Re: Containerized SNMP monitoring (short term) - a step above built-in graphs

Thank you Tangent. I hear what you are saying, but there is a portion that does not make sense to me. (More than likely my fault - but willing to learn) Let's say I create an entry as below. /container/envs/add name=crazymonkey key=TZ value="Europe/Riga" How will LibreNMS know how to read ...

Re: Containerized SNMP monitoring (short term) - a step above built-in graphs

Great feedback and insights. Ok, if LibreNMS is not the ideal beginner project, let's hear from others in the community to see if they can propose better suited lighter weight solutions. From my initial research, I can see that other users are interested in something similar. I tried with the Dude, ...

Re: Containerized SNMP monitoring (short term) - a step above built-in graphs

Thanks All. I am trying to get LibreNMS going, but running into a few noob issues. Like I said, I am brand new to containers / dockers and not someone that work with routers on a regular basis. 1. Do I load a lightweight Ubuntu or Debian Docker, and then add LibreNMS via their installation script? (...

Re: Containerized SNMP monitoring (short term) - a step above built-in graphs

Thanks Amm0 A blast from the past.... I have not used the Dude since about v2 or 3 I think. It used to be good at diplaying a network map and some info on the map, but not really bandwidth graphs as far as I can recall. I should have looked at it as well in my quest, but perhaps I was just to focuss...

Containerized SNMP monitoring (short term) - a step above built-in graphs

Advice / help / guidance needed to build / install on-device basic bandwidth monitoring tool (inside a container), with a bit more detail for the non-technical users. Nothing as fancy as Grafana / Prometheus for instance required, but a bit more advanced than built-in graphs functionality. Apologies...
