With the NetEye 4.49 release, we’re extending the coverage of our NetEye Extension Packs (NEPs) by introducing a new package specifically focused on Audiocodes device monitoring, implemented through Centreon plugins over SNMP. This article explains: Availability The new NEP for Audiocodes will be released and supported starting with: It’s distributed via the official NEP repository,…
Read MoreDuring our consulting activities we frequently find ourselves having to collect data from SNMP devices that do not support SNMPv3 for data encryption. This type of traffic is readable on the network and can create security problems and noncompliance with company certifications, for example ISO27K. For this reason, you might have devices segregated on a…
Read MoreSNMP monitoring is the standard method for obtaining information and metrics from network devices. Typically, we focus on extracting data from a single interface to monitor its status, traffic, or errors. But in many cases, we’re only interested in getting an overview of the interfaces, or, to avoid overloading our somewhat outdated devices, we limit…
Read MoreThis document describes the steps required to build, configure, and operate a Podman container based on php:8.2-cli, with the SNMP extension enabled, intended for executing monitoring plugins within a NetEye/Icinga environment. Create a Containerfile with the following contents: FROM docker.io/php:8.2-cliRUN apt-get update && \ apt-get install -y libsnmp-dev snmp && \ rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* &&…
Read MoreFirst of all, I’ll briefly explain what the “Tornado” in NetEye actually is. Tornado is a Complex Event Processor that receives reports of events from data sources such as monitoring, email, and SNMP Traps, matches them against rules you’ve configured, and executes the actions associated with those rules, which can include sending notifications, logging to…

At the OSMC 2023 conference, we embarked on an exciting journey into the world of open-source monitoring. It was an event filled with inspiration, insights, and innovation.
Read MoreDuring one of my last customer assignments, I migrated the NetEye Event Handler Trap rules to Tornado. Since many customers use the event handler in a similar way, I’d like to explain here the creation of these rules in Tornado. In the following I’ll briefly explain the following use case: Passive service checks have been…
Read MoreNetwork traffic monitoring is traditionally based on SNMP queries. This protocol generates statistics on the transmission of data across one or more network interfaces. While network device queries still run through SNMP, using Microsoft Hyper-V monitoring requires the adoption of other approaches. One of the reasons is the network connection configuration itself: for example, many…
Read MoreIn this article, I am going to explain how to implement a monitoring on your system, using an agentless solution (without Nagios’ nrpe agents), and I will underline some advantages of this useful solution. The target machine will be Linux or Unix Operating Systems. The need can arise from the fact that some of the…
Read MoreWould you like to understand the potential of the ITIL processes implemented with EriZone/OTRS ? Or do you want to deepen your knowledge in the End User Experience monitoring? Or are you curious to know what will be the future development of Nagios as an open project ? On April 11th, at the Würth Phoenix…
