I have a platform that I need to graph using API requests. It is a satellite VSAT hub, where we need to poll values such as C/N, Link Margin, traffic, … etc. The hub itself serves multiple terminals, and new terminals are added frequently as clients activate new VSAT services.
I am a total newbie to API so I have to find my way, but I have few questions:
Does LNMS support polling values via API’s ?
If yes, how can I then view the collected values in graphs ?
Is there a way to automate the API and/or script to poll new terminals as they are added to hub ?
How can the graphs be added/presented in LNMS ?
Any documents/tutorials you guys might advise to go through on how to use API requests and pipe the values into graphs ?
A lot of code would need to be changed to support this, as LibreNMS is SNMP oriented. But it has been done already (we have IPMI support into LibreNMS, which does not use SNMP at all). That would be a start if you decide to go that route.
Thanks for the explanation.
I was really hoping that it was possible as we have some NON-SNMP equipment that we need to monitor and they support API’s.
I will have to find some other way.
Perhaps this would be a good feature to be added to LNMS in the near future.
