Support for SFTP/FTP pull

Hi,

Does Solarwinds support SFTP/FTP pull request (From the Server to Wireless Controller) of Statistics?

If we periodically prepare Statistics in the form of CSV or JSON format and store them on Wireless Controller, is there support at Solarwinds NMS to pull the CSV file and update the orion database tables for Wireless_Controller, Wireless_AccessPoints, Wireless_Clients, Wireless_Rouge.

Thanks and Regards

Lak.

I dont think it does but why dont you monitor the device with Solarwinds is it an unsupported device?

What is the wireless controller I know they support Cisco and Meraki all you need is the right credentials.

Hi,

Its a Nokia Wireless Controller.

We don't have SNMP based support for statistics in the current release for our wireless devices.

Monitoring is just one part which is possible using ICMP, but that does not fetch statistics.

With SNMP support missing, we are already generating stats in CSV format on our Wireless Controller, hence we are exploring if Solarwinds can FTP the CSV file from the Wireless Controller. Next we can explore if the data can be populated in respective tables.

Appreciate your help.

Depends on the brand they use api (username, password) for Meraki.

When you say missing do they need upgrading.

What do you have?

Its a Nokia based Wireless Controller. SNMP MIB support at SW level is not available in the current controllers.

Only CSV file generation locally on the controller. Upload using FTP is currently supported.

Push the CSV file using REST API can be added as additional support.

"Depends on the brand they use api (username, password) for Meraki"

What is the transport mechanism used for the query, Is it over SNMP, RESTAPI?

I have discussed at length for updating the tables directly through REST API in another ticket.
