Probably what a lot of us would do. I kind of get the impression
that he wants to run these things locally?

OK, sounds like we need to get our
hands on a PI and start messing with it. Our
monitoring is mostly going to be IP based stuff. We
are implementing Sonar and need it to run the Poller
client. So we will be ping devices and doing SNMP
pulls. We may also have it do some other scripted
stuff, but haven’t really dug into that much.
Once we have a Linux device in these
sites, I am sure there is more that we could be doing
with it than what we monitor/control today.

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] POE powered PC for
monitoring
Raspberry pi should be robust
enough, the only issue would be sd card durability if
you don't pick a good quality card and take care to
mount the drives with sd friendly mount options.
To somewhat hijack the
discussion, I'm interested in what you plan to
monitor on site. The reason is that I'm currently
doing product definition work for our next
generation in caninet monitoring platform which is
going to include a lot of the functionality that
would normally be reserved for the noc. Mainly
want to know what people are looking for in this
type of solution.
We are considering adding a
small Linux based PC/device into our cabinets to
run a variety of monitoring services. There
are lots of small computing options out there,
but we haven’t stumbled across a solution that
seems to provide the fit we are looking for.
Here is a list of desired features:
-
Support for Ubuntu 16.04
-
POE powered, either 24 or 48 V will work
-
Small form factor, DIN Rail mounted would be
ideal
-
Cheap – We think there is reasonably priced
stuff out there, but haven’t found it yet.
There are industrial versions of these things,
but we don’t need that reliability or
durability
Some things that aren’t
important to us:
-
Durability – we have backup monitoring running
in our NOC so if we lose one of these we can
run indefinitely without it
-
High Performance – any moderate level platform
will do, it is just monitoring
-
Gigabit Ethernet – 100 Mbit is fine
-
Bluetooth/Wifi or video support - As long as
we can get Linux installed and log into it
remotely we are fine.
We keep looking at the
Raspberry PI platform, but are not sure that
either the performance/compatibility under
Ubuntu will be OK. Anyone have any luck with a
moderately priced solution for this kind of
thing?
