Wireless Data (Sensors)

Hi,

My apologies if this is a dumb question, but I admit - just not quite sure of the code flow to make this work … :-(. I want to add wireless data for some routers I have (asus-merlin, openwrt, dd-wrt, tomato). I can write the client side scripts, get the data “on to” snmp … that part is easy. But on the LibreNMS side - not quite sure how to make it all work.

I have read over this info, https://docs.librenms.org/Developing/os/Wireless-Sensors/. What confuses me is - as these routers don’t have their own / unique OS (I believe they are identified as Linux), how to get LibreNMS to collect the wireless data? And is there an easy way to output debug code / results during the process?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

That’s not going to be easy so those wireless access points/ routers don’t have there own os. No way to id them properly and code the sensors to show up. That’s not really librenms issue it’s the device os using generic and not supported snmp properly.

Definitely agree it’s not a LibreNMS issue - just trying to figure out a way to make it work … ;-). The distro is different (i.e. unique), not sure if somehow this can be used as a trigger.

Thanks!

Thinking out loud, but … what if this were an application? Likely more to setting that up though … :-(.

OK, looks like I can make tomato and asus-merlin work, they seem to report (or be recognized as somehow) a different OS. Still digging … :-).
