We made the switch from Powercode to Sonar a little over a year ago. All in all I think we are happy we made the switch, but polling is a challenge in Sonar as well. Before making that switch, I’d love to talk to folks about some unexpected issues they are likely to encounter. We also spun up LibreNMS to resolve many monitoring issues. It really stinks to have to manage another system to do basic monitoring, but that is what we have to do.
I would love to see a hosted version of LibreNMS with an agent/appliance that could be deployed inside your network. We don’t want to be in the server build/backup/management business, we’d rather be putting up towers. Not sure if anything like that exists out there.

From: Steve Jones Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2019 2:34 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: [AFMUG] powercode and mikrotik BMUs Powercode has become quite a joke. Half our probes havent worked for months and they dont even respond to the ticket. We had to spin up Librenms just to get monitoring data Trying to integrate mikrotik BMUs and having issues, they have zero legitimate documentation and when you ask whats supposed to be happening they tell you to seek out a consultant and that the info may be proprietary. Thats all bad enough, but i figure ill do some packet sniffing to find out what the communication is between the billing server and the mikrotik, maybe find out I misconfigured something, come to find out the nitwits are sending out the authentication in PLAIN TEXT. They dont even have a disclaimer when you add one of these. but christ, if youre operating an off network BMU, your infrastructure credentials are getting tossed into the ether like its nothing.
