Kentix MultiSensor is a device which includes many sensors for use in monitoring server and IT rooms. The sensor only needs to be connected to your network (PoE is required) and to have SNMP configured through its web interface.
The LAN version we used in this test monitors:
Temperature
Humidity
Dewpoint
Fire (carbon monoxide)
Motion
Vibration
More info about threats detected by Kentix Multisensor-LAN can be found in the threat matrix.
This sensor can feed data to NetEye 4 using both SNMP requests, which can be directly polled by Icinga 2, and SNMP traps, which can be collected using the Tornado SNMP Collector. Both SNMP v2 and v3 are supported.
Temperature, humidity, dewpoint and fire can be monitored using the check_snmp script and creating a service set to monitor them.
Motion and vibration instead cannot be periodically polled: these alarms are event-based and therefore checking them once every 5 minutes can easily cause you to miss an intrusion or vibration event. We can overcome this problem by using Tornado’s SNMP collector to filter relevant traps and move a service to critical status in the case of vibration or intrusion events.
Collected values, such as temperature and humidity, can be shown in in an ITOA dashboard:
The capabilities of Kentix’s Multisensor can be extended with their Leakage sensor and Door sensor.
With the end of 2021 we've release the first version of the NetEye Extension Packs project that helps customers and consultants on their monitoring implementations and more (see Introducing NetEye Extension Packs | www.neteye-blog.com for details). Now our focus is Read More
We fixed a bug in Tornado which cause skipping of the default master tenant filter if no satellite is configured. For NetEye 4.22 we updated the following packages: tornado, tornado-autosetup, tornado-common, tornado-neteye-config, tornado-dto, tornado-rsyslog-collector to version 1.18.5-1

Today my objective is to collect the performance metrics from various NetEye Icinga checks and write them out to Elasticsearch so I can apply Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to identify potential anomalies. This is a task that's not possible with Read More
During my experience as a Würth Phoenix consultant, I've seen a pretty long list of broken Icinga 2 configurations. Several times, customers have begun a scheduled meeting with something like "Hey mister consultant, ever since the last deploy some objects Read More
