Context

Plugin Output Processing (or pop) is a service that can be accessed through a REST API designed to give some explanations about the output of a Centreon plugin.

Examples

Plugin Output: UNKNOWN: SNMP Table Request: Cant get a single value.

Explanation:

The output indicates that the Centreon plugin is unable to retrieve values from the SNMP table for CPU monitoring. Common causes include:

1. Incorrect SNMP community string or credentials.\
2. SNMP service not running on the target device.
3. Network issues preventing SNMP communication.
4. Incorrect OIDs or SNMP version mismatch.

To resolve, verify SNMP configuration on the target device, ensure network connectivity, use correct SNMP community strings, and confirm matching SNMP versions between Centreon and the target device.

Costs

pop uses either a local model (thanks to the ollama) or OpenAI GPT-4o model behind the wheel to give an explanation based on a plugin output. You don’t necessarily need a high end GPU to run some small models.

Installation and how to use

See the project repository for more information on how to install and configure the tool.
