Remote SSH Ping

Help

Hi,

I’m new to using librenms.
Can librenms do remote ssh ping from the device?

Thanks

No.

It has some support for IPSLA and the Junos similar (TWAMP?) where it will gather the data from routers configured to collect it.

If you have distributed pollers those pollers can ‘ping’ devices that are being monitored.

But it can’t do (for example) like SmokePing where it does a login on a remote device/router and issue ping commands and collect that data.

It can, however, integrate with SmokePing (see docs) – I haven’t used it, I’m not sure how that works or what its capabilities/beneifts are.

Hi @pjchilds,

Thanks for your response.
So, for distributed poller I have to install another librenms in another machine?

Thanks

Yes.

Currently we have pollers distributed in US East and West, EU, and Japan (just as an example)

Docs → Scaling LibreNMS - LibreNMS Docs

Each device being monitored is assigned to a ‘poller group’ which can be one or more pollers.

So for example you won’t get measurement from 4 different pollers if you have 4 - it is a 1 to 1 relationship.

Well, you could set up a persistent SSH tunnel on the LibreNMS server to allow ping through. Might be a bit weird though.
