While working on some internal tools, I needed secure access to a few PHP pages and virtual directories resources that, by default, didn’t have any built-in access control. Since NetEye already uses Keycloak as its authentication system, I decided to leverage it to handle login and user validation. This way I could avoid reinventing the…
Read MoreSome time ago, my colleague Giuseppe Di Garbo published this article on the NetEye Blog, where he explained how to integrate NetEye notifications with Telegram. It was a great starting point, and in fact many of us used it to enable NetEye’s notification system to send alerts directly to the Telegram app for many customers….
Read MoreIn some test or development environments, you may need to simulate the presence of GSM modems without having an actual physical device. This can be useful for example when testing monitoring checks, SMS management systems, or creating new notification rules. In this post I’ll show you how I created a serial modem emulation service. The…
Read MoreWhen using Kibana in environments that require a proxy to reach external services, you might encounter issues with unrecognized SSL certificates. Specifically, if the proxy is exposed with its own certificate and acts as an SSL terminator, requests made by Kibana to external URLs can fail with HTTP status code errors. In this blog post,…
Read MoreIn today’s episode of “Fantastic Checks and Where to Find Them”, I’ll share how I managed to correlate two or more services on a single host, or even across different hosts. This story begins with a recent customer request. Initially, I considered using the Business Process module that’s already integrated in NetEye. However, after analyzing…
Read MoreIn the near future NetEye will likely introduce the use of NetworkManager instead of the network scripts used so far for the configuration of network connectivity. In this blog I’d like to describe some simple steps to perform a migration to NetworkManager in case it becomes necessary to go through with the transition. Let’s look…
Read MoreNetEye installations can be either in Standalone (Single Node) or in Cluster configuration, and for each one there’s the possibility to extend monitoring in segregated portions of the network or remote locations, or simply to be able to lighten the load of the master through the use of one or more satellites (the number of…
Read MoreIn GLPI Remote Inventory – Part 1 I described how to perform a remote inventory of Linux machines. Here in Part 2 I’ll describe instead how to perform a remote inventory on Windows machines using the WinRM (Windows Remote Management) protocol through an HTTPS listener. In order to create and use an HTTPS Listener on…
Read MoreSince NetEye version 4.29, the GLPI module has been upgraded to version 10. With this update GLPI introduced a new feature, making it possible to perform agentless inventories. Given the wide interest regarding this new feature from many of our customers, I decided to describe the steps necessary to be able to configure, link, and…
Read MoreAfter performing several migrations to NetEye 4, I realized that not all checks present on the old NetEye 3 could be migrated immediately. Sometimes for obsolete host systems on which the new Icinga 2 Agent could not be installed, or for dedicated check types for specific services, it was necessary to continue using our good…
Read MoreWe all know that NetEye can grant access to its Web Interface through local users, or through the use of LDAP queries that can filter and grant GUI access to users or groups of a given Active Directory domain. What I would like to explore today is the possibility of granting SSH access and elevating…
Read MoreSome time ago, a customer asked me if it was possible to export the data used by NetEye 4 Performance Graphs to CSV format. In particular, the performance graphs that are displayed within Icinga 2’s web interface currently have no option to export their data. After some research, I found that the only way to…
