online and uptime

[Mirco Tonin]

Hello.

I am evaluating OpenWisp, is there a way to see if a device is online and uptime?

Thanks.

Hi,

I recently published a monitoring module which does that: https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-monitoring

But as of today 10th of April 2020, there's not yet a lot of documentation on how to add it into OpenWISP and use it.
Nonetheless, with some patience and effort, it works.

Here's some screens:

We are also actively working to improve it.

If you need help, let us know.

Best regards

Federico

Could you give me some information on how to start the installation?

Thanks.

Here's a sample playbook to use with ansible-openwisp2, follow the instructions in this link first, then add the following to your playbook.yml:

- hosts: openwisp

  become: true

  become_user: root

  roles:

    - openwisp.openwisp2

  vars:

    openwisp2_language_code: en-en

    openwisp2_time_zone: Europe/Rome

    openwisp2_nginx_http2: true

    openwisp2_nginx_ipv6: true

    openwisp2_default_from_email: no-r...@owisp.uniot.eu

    openwisp2_default_cert_validity: 7300

    openwisp2_default_ca_validity: 7300

    openwisp2_default_from_email: no-reply@<yourdomain>

    openwisp2_extra_python_packages:

        - https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-monitoring/tarball/master

    openwisp2_extra_urls:

        - "url(r'', include('openwisp_monitoring.urls'))"

    openwisp2_extra_django_settings:

        EMAIL_HOST: '<SMTP_SERVER>'

        EMAIL_PORT: 25

        EMAIL_HOST_USER: chan...@changeme.it

    openwisp2_extra_django_settings_instructions:

        }

        CELERY_TASK_ACKS_LATE = True

        for app in ['openwisp_monitoring.notifications',

                  'openwisp_monitoring.check',

                  'openwisp_monitoring.device',

                  'openwisp_monitoring.monitoring']:

            INSTALLED_APPS.insert(INSTALLED_APPS.index('openwisp_controller.geo',) + 1, app)

        }

        INFLUXDB_USER = "root"

        INFLUXDB_PASSWORD = "root"

  pre_tasks:

    - name: ensure influxdb is started and enabled

      service:

        name: influxdb

        state: started

        enabled: yes

      tags: [monitoring]

  tasks:

    # monitoring

    - name: supervisor celerybeat

      template:

        src: templates/celerybeat.j2

        dest: "{{ supervisor_path | format('celerybeat') }}"

      notify: reload supervisor

      tags: [openwisp2, monitoring]

in templates/celerybeat.j2 put:

[program:celerybeat]
user={{ www_user }}
directory={{ openwisp2_path }}
command={{ openwisp2_path }}/env/bin/celery -A openwisp2 beat -l info
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stopsignal=INT
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile={{ openwisp2_path }}/log/celerybeat.log
stdout_logfile_maxbytes=30MB
stdout_logfile_backups=5

In production systems I suggest to use PostgreSQL (you can use the ansible role ANXS.postgresql) and Letsencrypt (instructions for configuring letsencrypt are included in the README of ansible-openwisp2).

I hope this helps.
