That's basically how I've been monitoring our Ubiquiti stuff for years. It's a 
pretty simple way to go, you just need some mechanism to get the scripts onto 
the radios.

For those of you who haven't heard, several of us started a new
project yesterday.

https://github.com/esseph/groundcontrol

Licensing is tentatively set as falling under GPLv2.

We have already been offered code snippets, a dev box, a db server,
and several people have decided to volunteer time to make this happen.

The initial idea is that the system itself will be free, with a
possibly paid support/features option, or maybe a model similar to
observium where the is a "community" (free as in beer) version that
comes out every 6mo or so, and a "paid" version with newer features
and direct support. We're not sure yet, but we want to make this
project accessible and fairly vendor-neutral.

If any of you could volunteer time, support, code, documentation,
ideas, etc.it would be greatly appreciated. This is a project by and
for the WISP community. Thank you!

I've done a bit of work previously to reverse engineering the provisioning 
mechanism, and I see nothing that would be a problem collecting stats via that 
method. You'd still have to use groundcontrol to initially connect/provision 
the units first to exchange SSH keys, and you'd want it to be on a different ip 
that your previous aircontrol server.

A nasty thing about ubnt provisioning... if you replace the server on the same 
ip or a different ip, all of the radios that were previously provisioned will 
always try to connect to the old ip/server, which causes quite a bit of arp 
traffic.

For those of you who haven't heard, several of us started a new
project yesterday.

https://github.com/esseph/groundcontrol

Licensing is tentatively set as falling under GPLv2.

We have already been offered code snippets, a dev box, a db server,
and several people have decided to volunteer time to make this happen.

The initial idea is that the system itself will be free, with a
possibly paid support/features option, or maybe a model similar to
observium where the is a "community" (free as in beer) version that
comes out every 6mo or so, and a "paid" version with newer features
and direct support. We're not sure yet, but we want to make this
project accessible and fairly vendor-neutral.

If any of you could volunteer time, support, code, documentation,
ideas, etc.it would be greatly appreciated. This is a project by and
for the WISP community. Thank you!

Re: [WISPA] groundcontrol project

2014-12-03 Thread Josh Reynolds
I've done a bit of work previously to reverse engineering the 
provisioning mechanism, and I see nothing that would be a problem 
collecting stats via that method. You'd still have to use groundcontrol 
to initially connect/provision the units first to exchange SSH keys, and 
you'd want it to be on a different ip that your previous aircontrol server.


A nasty thing about ubnt provisioning... if you replace the server on 
the same ip or a different ip, all of the radios that were previously 
provisioned will always try to connect to the old ip/server,which causes 
quite a bit of arp traffic.


 one thing I'd like to do is create a "cleanup tool" for that, 
though pssh (parallel ssh) + wireshark helped me clean up that mess 
"manually" in the past.
