Prime InfraMonitoring
- Ole Ernst
This module can be used to monitor any IP-enabled device via a multitude of protocols. The module uses Telegraf with its hundreds of input plugins to cover all commonly used protocols. Based on the gathered metrics one can set warning and critical thresholds used for alarming. By means of scripting any alarming method is available. Most commonly used and implemented is alarming via email and/or browser notifications.
Furthermore remote pollers can be used to query metrics from distant devices through tightly locked-down firewalls. Remote pollers are automatically reprovisoned if new sensors are created via the main instance.
Besides this, passively monitoring devices using SNMP Traps is available as well. One can match traps and their contents to identify ok, warning or critical states. OK traps can auto-acknowlegde no-OK traps.
Both sensors and traps are visualized on both a geographical and logical map.
