Aruba Central monitoring
Because of COVID19 the University tried to reduce density in residence halls by leasing about 75 apartments in nearby complexes. Each apartment is an island with ISP service; the decision was made to deploy WIFI access points in each apartment supported by Aruba Central. None of the Aruba Central visibility can be brought back to the on-campus controllers that support WIFI across all campus locations. Can you please consider developing some datasources that exploit the Aruba Central API? ? ? ?How to submit a Feature Request.

Why would this be? There were 5 updates to aws_billing_* modules today, but they only show up when i use the traditional repo update option. No combination of filters could show those in the module toolbox, except by clearing all filters and just searching by name. Even then, once found by name, they showed already up to date. In addition, when trying to make a filter to show them, i was frustrated (once again) that the filters are filtering by values we cannot see: The “Customized” field isn’t displayable on the table at all, or if it is, it’s displayed as an icon in the status column. However, the dropdown for the filter is not an icon, it’s text. The status column shows an icon, but the filter values are text. Which icon corresponds to which text? For these 5 modules, the “Support” column was blank, even though these modules come from LM so should be “official”? How can you filter by “Support” == null? It’s all very Duolingo: make mistakes and wander your way through until you figure it out?
Needed Features for Network Topology Mapping
We need the ability to create topology map of our switches and routers showing the actual links between interfaces on the devices and showing the latest InMbps / OutMbps datapoints for each interface. The goal is to have a live network map for networks likeInternet Service Provider networks, to be able to visualize the active state of the network and the bandwidth utilization and alert status of each device and interface / link. We need to be able to do the following: - Manually add the switch and router resources to the map. - Once the resource is on the map, click on the resource on the map and select an interface instance from the "network interfaces" LogicModule to add to a "Link". Then drag over to, or select, the connected resource, and select the associated interface instance from the "network interfaces" LogicModule on the second device. - This will visually show a link between the two devices, and the InMbps and/or OutMbps datapoints should be displayed over the link on each end of the link. - The color of each half or end of the link should also change based on the highest active alert level for the associated "network interfaces" instance on that end of the link. So for example, If we have Router1 interface GigEth0/1 connected to Router2 GigEth0/2, and Router1 GigEth0/1 has an active warning level alert for InBroadcastPkts, then that half of the line representing the link, should turn to yellow. - It's not enough to simply outline the resource with a color based on the alert level of the resource. We need to visually see each desired interface / link on the map and see visually which interface(s) is/are alerting. LogicMonitor has done an absolutely outstanding job of giving us immense flexibilty in how we can represent any datapoint on widgets on dashboards. But when it comes to the Topology mapping, we’re severely limited in how we can represent the exact same datapoints visually on the map. Also, for these kind of use-cases, people managing these kinds of network generally already know how their devices are connected, or can easily identify the connectivity. We don’t really need LogicMonitor to automatically detect connections between devices, because that’s too big of a challenge to automate that well. We just need to be able to manually say, “This interface on this device connects to this interface on this device. That’s a link.” The link itself is actually comprised of two sides, each being an instance on theresource’s LogicModule. And it could be “Interfaces 64 bit” or “Network Interfaces” or whatever other LogicModule we need. When we make w widget, we can select whatever LogicModule and Instance we need. We should be able to do the same thing on the topology map.BGP Description
The Datasource BGP- shows per BGP instance a Description based on snmp OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.15.3.1.1 which is the bgp peer identifier. That is not the actual description that's configured in the switch. Here is an example ofBGP configurations. address-family ipv4 vrf t01-WAN bgp router-id 11.226.11.2 network 10.251.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 network 10.251.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 network 10.251.2.0 mask 255.255.255.0 neighbor 10.228.3.53 remote-as 65500 neighbor 10.228.3.53 description t01 wan koppeling naar rack z1.3.23 neighbor 10.228.3.53 password *********** neighbor 10.228.3.53 activate neighbor 10.228.3.53 soft-reconfiguration inbound neighbor 10.228.3.53 prefix-list t01-WAN-IP-BLOKKEN out neighbor 10.228.3.53 maximum-prefix 200 50 exit-address-family address-family ipv4 vrf a07-GTT-sip bgp router-id 11.226.11.2 network 10.100.128.16 mask 255.255.255.240 neighbor 10.100.128.1 remote-as 65135 neighbor 10.100.128.1 description a07 gtt euro fiber neighbor 10.100.128.1 password ********* neighbor 10.100.128.1 activate neighbor 10.100.128.1 send-community neighbor 10.100.128.1 prefix-list a07-TO-GTT out exit-address-family A snmpwalk on SNMP OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.15.3 doesn't show the neighbor description. How can we get the bgp neighbor description into the LogicMonitor BGP instance description ?
