Custome SSH script for peplink balance

Votes:

0

Hi, I have a peplink balance device and using PRTG to monitor network. I tried MIB but it not support to monitor WAN bandwidth on peplink. However, I can use SSH to get information about WAN bandwidth (content below). How to get this information as a PRTG sensor?

Best regards.

You could use the SSH Script Advanced Sensor, but parsing this will be a pain I'm afraid :(

Hi Stephan,

I can not access/ save file on Peplink device so can not use your guide "The dropdown menu will list all script files available in the /var/prtg/scriptsxml directory on the target Linux/Unix system." Anw i found a MIB can use to monitor WAN bandwidth, not real time but better than nothing.

Thank you.

You could also use this approach to use PowerShell (i.e. EXE/Script Advanced Sensors) to connect to the device, issue the command and evaluate the ouptut. However, the script would need to be modified accordingly. It's just to give you a basic idea of how to implement it :)
