G'day to you too.


Yes, a mailing list not designed for questions, or feedback, or answers, but merely to argue about what is on-topic and what is not, and the length of signatures, and top posting or bottom posting, plain-text or html, just like every other mailing list in existence.


Cheat. Spin up a VM, install Observium, http://observium.org  point it via SNMP to your devices, and enable IPMI for said device.

 Let it do all the hard work of figuring out which oids to graph, and what they mean. 

Then, pick the info that you want from what it finds, and just link to it.


Enough said, Observium is very light on configuration, just point and go, and let it keep itself up to date. Probably put it behind some kind of firewall as well.


I love it so much I've spun up a low-wattage box with observium for home to graph my Solar Inverters SNMP stats, home UPS stats, all that kind of thing. It kind of just works, as well as in networks with a couple of hundred devices, SANS, you name it.

I know Cacti has been bandied on the list for this task. I used to use Cacti, and have migrated to Zabbix <http://www.zabbix.com> for SNMP/IPMI monitorin. Mainly because its alerting system is integrated / IMHO much better, when monitored devices go above a setpoint.

There's a nagios shell-script plugin I hacked which then called ipmitool to

Impressed the hell out of my supervisor at the time being able to read the
fan speeds, DIMM temps etc, and getting alerts when the rendering cluster

Analysis of the Carna Botnet (Internet Census 2012)

Dear All,

 

I have made my presentation on the Carna Botnet freely available for view
and/or download: http://bit.ly/auscertcarna

 

This presentation is on the Compromised Devices of the Carna Botnet (also
known as Internet Census 2012). This analysis is done from data obtained
directly from the researcher. The data used is NOT publicly available for
download.

 

This was recently presented at the AusCERT Conference 2013. Info:
http://conference.auscert.org.au/conf2013/speaker_Parth_Shukla.html

 

This presentation is freely available for viewing and downloading as I wish
to spread awareness of the issues raised as a result of the Carna Botnet.

 

I am sending this email as I suspect many of you will find the contents of
this presentation interesting. Apologies to those who are subscribed to
multiple mailing lists and are receiving this email multiple times as a
result. Please forward this onto any mailing list or any individual who you
think may appreciate the contents of the presentation.

Hey Daniel,

Can't provide any examples but a few weeks ago we knocked together a quick bash script using ipmitool.

We were checking the status of an interface setting which was causing some havoc for us, on a few thousand systems.

No reason you could t integrate it into what you're doing.
