Do many people here use InterMapper? We use it as our NMS, monitoring a variety of switches and radios. Each monitored devices requires a probe, or else IM falls back to use standard SNMP variables or even just ping. The probes can be constructed fairly easily out of a MIB.
Ubiquiti doesn't do much to help. It doesn't make a supported MIB available. There are some user-contributed probes, but they didn't seem ideal. There was a MIB posted in the 5.6-beta discussion, but its OID enterprise number is not found in any radios we're using, so maybe they're moving to it in 5.6 (which I haven't tried). So we ran snmpwalk over 5.5.6 radios to find out what UBNT's SNMP actually could support, and updated the probe to include more information. Interestingly, most radio-specific OIDs we found were in the MikroTik enterprise-specific space. Maybe those were contributed back to the open source community, or maybe somebody at UBNT just borrowed them. We are using UBNT radios in point-to-point configurations. Compared to the version on the Help Systems web site, our probe at the access point side now includes more information about the connection (radio speed and actual WLAN bit rate being transferred) -- the standard probe doesn't, since it assumes there are multiple connections. Our station-side probe adds the bit rates. These probes work well with the 5.3-5.5 series, including 5.5.10-RC2; it also works with 5.2, though the WLAN bit rate doesn't probe correctly. So if anyone's using InterMapper and wants to try our UBNT probes, here they are.
