I eliminate that sort of confusion and have one vendor for all. Cambium
has tools and they get used where they are needed but for the most part.
We use Freeside,Cacti,Ntop/Nflow and nagios for alerting for some things
we use cacti.
We have automated reports in a few places that get emailed to correct
folks weekly
The automated thingy is a continued work in progress as the boss wants
to have more granular reporting.
Like a churn report is not enough he wants another one that show the
canceled subs and the reason why.
Contract maturity reports, Infrastructure performance reporting,
Scheduled reminders when generators get maintenance or fuel top off.
Lots of info but getting it all into one place can be a bear.
I can imagine with different vendors OMG.

Dude gets a refresh. Cambium and mimosa does a cloud solution. UBNT
seems to find a path through it’s confusing strategy.
I setup aircontrol2 for cpe managment of ubnt decices. Does a nice job
for cpe inventory. As soon as we configure a cpe we enter it into
aircontrol. At the time it gets installed we enter coordinates and a
comment including the customer number. So we have a list with all
cpes, their mac, product, SW release and see where they are.
Additional to a inventory system we can use this to schedule
FW-Updates and see customer signals and how they change.

seriously, if you have the budget, look at Castlerock SNMPc........
but only if you have the budget... did I mention budget? if you dont
have the budget dont look at it. If you want what you want, but also
have the budget, then look at it.... otherwise, dont look at it

It's a German Company... but the product is very interesting, very
flexible, and may get you thinking on a few other section of the
business, how you keep info, organize info etc.
Do keep us posted on what you end up with.

map/wiki/management/database/documentation system
Hey guys and gals,
I don't know if something like this already exists so i
thought i'd ask y'all before i went and created it. I
basically need a complete documentation system for our network
infrastructure.
-we have our network mapped in visio
-we have our network monitored in intermapper
-we have our network graphed in cacti
-i'm working on creating a wiki type page for all devices that
has some static info (like date put in service, a link to it's
manual) and some dynamic info (like Tx frequency)
-the devices all typically have a web config page
I want to turn our visio maps into HTML so that you can click
on the device and bring up it's wiki page that either links to
all the other pages or includes the info on that wiki page etc.
it seems like this is probably just a custom documentation
database. When i search on the google there are systems kind
of like this but they seem to be either too narrow minded
(geared towards data center and server infrastructure) or too
broad...nothing seems to be "just right"
does something like this currently exist? what do you use to
keep track of all this information? what would you recommend?
Thanks!
-Sean
