Hi Alexis,

My colleagues at the Network Startup Resource Center tend to use LibreNMS (http://www.librenms.org/)

Hello DC3!

Hello, I'm new to the group.  My name is Alexis Cullen, and I'm from the USA originally, but am now living in Vanuatu & have been for the past 4 years (I was a Peace Corps Volunteer here in a remote village and my husband and I decided to try and stay in Vanuatu rather than return to the USA after our service, as we love it here)

I've been working for the past three years with Maewo Island and together we've built a community network (after advocating for connectivity through traditional routes failed).  Some of our information is on this website mtc.invanuatu.com and facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/MaewoWifi/, but we are in dire need of updating.

I'm writing because I was hoping to find out what people were using for dashboards to monitor their networks?? 

I have a friend who codes, and he created a custom solution for us.  He's planning to share it open source on Github.  It pulls data from the network through a mikrotik router & raspberry pi combo.  Happy to send our documentation to anyone who is curious. 

He started helping because we use Kacific Broadband Satellite for our backhaul and OpenDNS wouldn't work with their configurations . . .we were trying to get access to our own data and having a really hard time.  Thus the custom script. Now we have data coming back to us, but no dashboard to interpret the raw data. My friend was going to code this for us, but he's flat out at the moment, busy with a lot of other projects.

I suppose my question is whether or not we reinvented the wheel with our custom code, and what others are using to monitor their networks.  Is anyone developing any solutions that they would be willing to share with us?  We'd be so grateful!

Thank you!

Alexis
