What Are You Using as a Network Monitoring Solution

[Jhjacobs81]

To be honest, most our "escalation notifications" are non-existant.. But i believe Grafana/Prometheus do alerting, its still something im looking into :)

I've been using Nagios Core https://www.nagios.org/downloads/nagios-core/ for a few years in my RPi farm. Like most utilities, a little bit of planning (to structure the relationships of the "objects") goes a long way in juggling the reactions to the alerts! The plug-ins that do the monitoring are varied. I would recommend the solution for modest RPi farms if one can "buy" into the design/philosophy granularity.

There is an Enterprise version too with more active support + community but I have not used it.

Hi Bart, how can I implement in OPNsense? Thank you so much!

If you're looking for something simple, like point to your switch SNMP details simple then try checkmk: https://checkmk.com/open-source-monitoring.html

Bart...

Thanks for this. I am going to test it on my home virt lab.

You would run a separate instance of Checkmk that runs SNMP queries against OPNsense. Although the Checkmk website states compatibility with "unix-like" systems, all the download links are for Linux and Docker. I don't know of any ports to FreeBSD.

I think you'll need to spin up a separate server for it, rather than be able to integrate it into your firewall.
