Re: Aruba Central monitoring
On 10/4/2022 at 12:24 PM, Crandall said: Just upgraded our Aruba APs to AOS 10 removing the controllers of a site. Now we would need to monitor 120 APs as individual devices instead of one or two controllers. If there is a way to get all the info talked about in this thread from Aruba Central to Logic Monitor that would be amazing. I have checked and was not able to find anything in my Logic Monitor for how to do this. Assuming the LM locator code works here is what I was working on:M3E6GF You will need to change the applies to from null to your "device", check the technical notes for how to set it up.18Views0likes0CommentsRe: Aruba Central monitoring
@Michael Dieter No problem, our urgency increased rapidly over the break so I ended up smashing something out for AP's GW's and Switch's, but due to the number of API calls we will likely only use the AP datasource. Let me know if you are interested in the code, which comes with the disclaimer that I am by no means a good coder and I am sure there are better ways to achieve what I have done so (I will pass the code to LM to hopefully accelerate their development of an official datasource). I have at least made the code universal, so no matter where your apigw is it will work (well as long as the property is set).12Views0likes0CommentsRe: Aruba Central monitoring
@Michael Dieter Did you ever come up with any datasources for ArubaCentral at all. Also how large is the environment that you are aiming to monitor (AP count etc), more for curiosity as API limits seem to be a bit of the pain at the moment (though it can be increased by making a TAC case).

Yeah I ended up building both but neither is ideal to present to a client (client in this sense is a client of our NetworkServices who we give visibility of their network via LM). I'll put through a request for better more granular RBAC over different configsources.41Views0likes0CommentsRe: Huawei Switch MAC Address Table
The goal essentially is to allow a client to run a command on a switch without logging in and of course receive the output as it is. We look after and manage devices for clients and we hold the rights to the configuration and as such clients cannot log into devices. One of the commands that clients would often call up to have the information for is the display mac-address (on Huawei) this allows them to see what connected devices are on what interface. It is somewhat tricky as there is no real appropriate OID to use that would work, the closest I have come (which does work) is this.1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1.1 (dot1dTpFdbAddress) as the SNMP OIDand the interface index as the description.1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1.2. This works but then you get a lot of instances with a singular number as the interface it is connected to as its descriptionwhich may look messy but, it is searchable. The other option is have it as a script datasource and the user can go to it and "Poll Now" and get the raw output infront of them. This looks nice and they can then extrapolate the data somewhere else but itis not searchable. If the raw output could be displayed on a widget that would be cool but ultimately would start to compete against configsources to some degree. On the topic of configsources I could ultimately just make one that does the aforementioned script and that would work wonders and I could in future make a nice script which grabs a lot more (which would be awesome!) however I run into a RBAC problem where we don't allow them to see the configsource due to config ownership. If I had more granular RBAC over datasources/confgsources (mainly configsources) I could produce some amazing tools for our clients.52Views0likes0CommentsRe: Huawei Switch MAC Address Table
Best I can do for now is either an SNMP datasource that has the OID for MAC (relating to MAC in the MAC table) and its corresponding interface index number in the form of Instance/description. OR A script datasource that works like a config source that logs in and runs the display mac-address command, however this showsRAW output only and can't be displayed. It would be neat to have more RBACover specific datasources/configsources as I could allow a lot more run or show commands (as separate configsources) but obfuscate the running config (which we hide from the client).54Views0likes0Comments
