Hey,
I want to monitor the router itself by snmp, ping or maybe an monitoring agent.
Which experiences did you gather?

What device do you have on hand?
Can you let me know your real purpose? Or do you just want to learn technologies?
I have got gl-ar750 and gl-am300m, both are in my network, that is monitored with Check_MK.
My goal is to monitor the vpn connection that is established on the gl-ar750, working as a gateway for internal subnets towards the internet dsl router.
Do you mean that, you need snmp protocol and connect your data to Check_MK?
I never used Check_MK but it looks good. So it support snmp protocol, right?
There is openwrt docs about snmp e.g. [OpenWrt Wiki] Minimal SNMP Daemon (mini_snmpd) configuration
You may need some skills to configure.
There are two common ways to get data from the host into check_MK, first of all with the check_MK-agent, that would be my main goal to achieve, or using the data by retrieving over snmp.
After looking through the current agents, there is a agent script for openwrt.
I will try to enable it by test and report back to you.
Hi alzhao,
the script “check_mk_agent.openwrt” functions out of the box, BUT:
to get it run, check_mk_agent needs xinetd.
Is it possible install that service?
Regards
Mikee

ok, found a another way over ssh.
what has to be configured, that login per ssh keyfile as root is possibe to gl-m300m?
to do that:
Solved via ssh an Skript of check_MK.

I am glad that you worked this out and shared with us.
Please post more about the final result. I’d like to know how the platform really looks like when morning the router.
I think, it would be usefull, if I create a howto in a wiki, for example of openwrt. what is you opinion?
That is nice. Pls share.
Hm, good idea of mine to publish a howto on openwrt wiki, but I do not have a clue how the publishing work has to be done.
Anyone, who can give me a howto link? thx
Many you can just post here first.
Is it possible to post screenshots?
Yes. You can just paste to the input box here and it is very convenient.
Fine, I will be back soon
