That's good news... to a certain extent.
Observium is (fairly) excellent at monitoring wired infrastructure. It's
interface also moves us out of the "Dark Ages" of Nagios and others,
which is a plus.
What Observium is not good at:
it's not very flexible in monitoring
it's not very flexible in alerting
it doesn't support "broken" snmp mibs that work with cacti and a few others
it can't control devices
it can't upgrade devices
it doesn't bring any new features to the table for any specific product line
it is a very "talkative" and network inefficient protocol - a single
device can easily cause 500 round-trips very 5 minutes, that doesn't
scale well
new device support and feature graphing has to be explicitly coded in

It looks like Observium is expanding a bit. In what direction, I'm not

Hi All,
Could those of you who are interested in wireless support email me
off-list?
I've totally lost track of who has offered to financially sponsor
development and/or provide access to test hardware.
Please include the following information :
Contact/Company/Subscriber information
What type of support you'd be willing to provide
What type of hardware you use
What you use the hardware for (WISP, Enterprise, etc)
Additionally if you already use some other platform with your wireless
kit, perhaps some screenshots and description of how you use the
platform would be useful, as would any suggestions on how a wifi
infrastructure management interface might be structured.
We're not wireless infrastructure experts, but you guys might be! :)
Depending upon the level of interest when everyone is accounted for, we
might consider building specific wireless support into Observium.
Please reply to this mail but change the "to" field to
ad...@observium.org. If you use a different subject, your mail might be
lost forever :)
Thanks,
adam.
