Hello,

 

I'm looking to monitor our ObjectFirst OOTBI appliances.

 

I tested the AWS S3 plugins, but unfortunately, OOTBI doesn't support CloudWatch, so the checks don't work.

 

I tried using SNMP, but the MIB isn't very comprehensive.

 

Do you have any ideas or advice for monitoring:

- the buckets

- the appliance itself

 

Thanks in advance

Hi ​@lpinsivy 
 

Thanks for the suggestion! I actually reached out to Object First support directly to ask about this.

Here's their answer: they currently have no plans to extend the SNMP MIB further (no additional OIDs on their roadmap for now). So monitoring will have to rely on the metrics already exposed via the existing SNMP OID tree.

They also mentioned two alternative options:

 

Email/SMTP notifications: OOTBI can send email alerts for critical states. Docs here: https://objectfirst.com/help/1.7/configuring-email-notifications/

Telemetry: if enabled, this sends usage/health data back to Object First, and their team will automatically open a support ticket on their end if the metrics show a critical issue.

 

They also pointed me to their KB article listing the supported SNMP OID trees for monitoring OOTBI: https://objectfirst.com/help/1.7/kb0012-supported-snmp-oid-trees-for-monitoring-with-ootbi/

So no native API for backup job status at this point - it seems SNMP (limited) + SMTP alerts + telemetry-based ticketing are the only supported options for now. I'll probably build out what I can from the current MIB and rely on SMTP alerts as a backup for anything not covered.

If anyone else has managed to get more granular monitoring (bucket-level stats, appliance health, etc.) working with Centreon, I'd love to hear how you approached it.
