Support for ALLNET DEVICES

hallo,

do the devices support SNMP?

does Allnet offer any MIBs?

If so, you can import the MIBs using our free MIB importer

https://www.paessler.com/tools/mibimporter

Just a FollowUP to Allnet devices in general an to ALLNet Powermeters in particular.

AFAIK the following devices should have proper support for XML so you can use the XML/REST sensor:

Sensorappliances:

All3000/All4000/All4500/ALL5000.

While for all3000/4000 you can use /xml and specifiling the propper xml-tag (e.g. "t0") the syntax for the all4500, all4076 and all500 differs. With that devices you have to put e.g. /xml/?mode=sensor&type=list&id=1 and specify "current" ingerneral as the xml-tag to evaluate. The ID can be found in the properties of the attached sensor.

Powermeters:

Unfortunately the are different Softwareversions around in the wild, all claiming to be 2.00.00. Earlier in this threat, the mentioned script is for the "old" 2.0.0 (can be identified by a completely in black desinged webpage. So the above given script should work well with thouse devices. The newer ones (newer PM1 and in gernaral all PM2) can be identified bei the now typical Allnet Webpagedesing in black, orange and blue). With this newer version the syntax changed. The good nes is that this new version also have a xml-interface, but this is only usefull for querying the intern sqlite database, so you can get all kind of summary-informations or histroic informations. The bad news: I found this allmoost sensles for PRTG. However, you still can get the current sensorreadings out of that devices by using /query_live.php?id=2 The result is a JSON string, containing the values vor the phases, the power calculations an the readings of d0/1 and s0/1 readings

A ps-script to get thouse readings into PRTG is work in progress and will be posted here when ready. (I tried to get the direct access to the JSON via XMLRest sensor, but without success)

A general description for the use of xml interfaces for Allnet devices can be found here: ftp://212.18.29.48/ftp/pub/joerg/Hilfestellung.XML.3418-4500.pdf

After a call to AllNet it turned out, that the first version of the script is based on FW 1.x and not on 2.x.

So finally I got a littel working PS hack for the deviec running a V2 Firmware: (corrected v 0.5)

# Test and Demo PowerShell Custom Sensor for PRTG
# Just a dirty hack using Powershell
# Requires: 
# + PowerShell v. 4.0 on the local Probe
# 
#
# Required Parameters:
# + %device +%url %linuxuser %linuxpassword (take care on the sequence)
# In case user/pass is required use the ssh user/pass, becaus the api
# does not provide webuser/webpass as parameters or give user and pass directly
# as commandline parameters 
#
# Hardcoded (covers Firmwarerev. 2.x, setting for FW 1.x  differ):
# + deviceurl : /query_live.php?id=2

After I get a V3 firmware device I ll try to implement a version for that too.

If anyone requires another AllNet device, pleas tell me, and I see what I can do.
