Supported Devices

Introduction

The following devices and operating systems have been tested on recent versions and are working. Please note this is by no means an exhaustive list.

As of July 2015, Observium supported over 267 separate OS types.

Applications

SNMP application support has been replaced by the use of the Unix Agent scripts, more information about the application scripts can be found on the Applications section.

Generic MIBs

Discovery and polling of standardised generic MIBs is supported on all hardware that implements them regardless of status of support for that hardware or operating system.

HOST-RESOURCES-MIB for CPU, Memory and Storage statistics
ENTITY-MIB for Inventory
ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB for Sensors
TCP-MIB, UDP-MIB, ICMP-MIB, SNMP-MIB, IP-MIB and IPV6-MIB for network stack statistics and address information
IF-MIB (both ifEntry and ifXEntry) for per-port statistics
EtherLike-MIB for detailed per-port error statistics and duplex
ADSL-LINE-MIB for ADSL line statistics
BGP4-MIB for BGP sessions
OSPF-MIB for OSPF information
QBRIDGE-MIB for VLAN information

Network Infrastructure

Arista

Arista implement standard MIBs for most things and support is therefore very good. HOST-RESOURCES-MIB, ENTITY-MIB, ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB and EtherLike-MIB are fully supported as of 4.5.0.

Software Version 4.4.0 or above is required for CPU and Memory graphs via HOST-RESOURCES-MIB

Arista support is tested internally by Arista themselves.

Allied Telesis

Observium supports collection of data from both Alliedware and the newer Alliedware+ software.

Allied Telesis support is tested internally by Allied Telesis themselves.

Cisco

Cisco IOS

Workstations and Servers

UNIX-like

UCD-MIB provides detailed system statistics, HOST-RESOURCES-MIB provides inventory, CPU, Memory and Storage statistics.

Linux

Linux is fully supported via HOST-RESOURCES-MIB and UCD-MIB. Recent versions support separated IPv4/IPv6 IP statistics via IP-MIB.

Linux distribution detection can be done via an external script included in the Observium installation.

Supports collection of sensors and hardware information Dell servers via Dell's OMSA SNMP extensions.

Solaris

FreeBSD

Memory and CPU statistics are supported via HOST-RESOURCES-MIB and UCD-MIB on NetSNMPd.

Currently no special features of bSNMP are supported, so its use is discouraged.

NetBSD

OpenBSD

DragonFly BSD

m0n0wall

Automatic identification via special m0n0wall sysDescr.

Tested on 1.2 and 1.3.

Missing some statistics MIBs. CPU and Memory statistics work via HOST-RESOURCES-MIB. Uses bSNMPd.

pfSense

Uses bSNMPd, so relatively poor support compared with Net-SNMPd

Microsoft Windows

Relies on Windows SNMP service, so some things can be hit and miss depending upon the Windows version and the completeness of the SNMP implementation.

Will decode and display the commonly known version of Windows from the version and build.

Supports collection of sensors and hardware information Dell servers via Dell's OMSA SNMP extensions.

Minkels Rack Monitoring System

This is an AKCP clone and supports the same MIBs. See above.

AVTech RoomAlert

Unfortunately, every model has their own MIB.

RoomAlert 24E

Note that it is possible to change this device's sysDescr. We cannot detect it by its sysObjectID because it's a generic one, so we rely on the sysDescr to start with "RoomAlert". It is therefore advised to keep this string in front to ensure detection as an actual RoomAlert device instead of a generic device.
