Freeside:2.3:Documentation:Torrus Installation

Introduction

Torrus is a network monitoring system (NMS) for discovering and monitoring routers, switches and other network equipment with SNMP. Starting in version 2.3, Freeside includes an integrated/skinned Torrus (like it does RT), providing 95th percentile and straight volume billing.

 cd /usr/local/etc/torrus/discovery
 vi routers.txt #space-delimted router ip addresses
 torrus genddx \
   --hostfile=routers.txt \
   --domain=example.com \
   --community=community_string \
   --out=routers.ddx \
   --discout=routers.xml
 torrus devdiscover  --in=routers.ddx 

 mkdir /srv/torrus/collector_rrd
 chown freeside:freeside /srv/torrus/collector_rrd

 torrus compile --tree=main --verbose

 torrus bs --global --verbose

XXX database config (before collector start)

 #launch data collector
 #XXX add to init
 torrus collector --tree=main

Reporing setup

 cd /usr/local/etc/torrus/discovery
 vi routers.ddx
   <param name="RFC2863_IF_MIB::external-serviceid">
     TESTING_1:TenGigabitEthernet2_1:Both:main,
     TESTING_2:TenGigabitEthernet2_2:Both:main,
   </param>

 torrus devdiscover  --in=routers.ddx 
 torrus compile --tree=main --verbose

 #kill collector, then restart
 torrus collector --tree=main
