**Expected**: High parity based on identical YAML profiles
|
||||
|
||||
## Architectural Differences
|
||||
|
||||
### Detection Enhancements in Towerops
|
||||
|
||||
1. **4-Phase Matching** vs 2-Phase
|
||||
- Clearer separation of conditional vs unconditional checks
|
||||
- Separate phases for generic OS fallbacks
|
||||
- More predictable performance characteristics
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
- Read-heavy workload (99% reads, 1% writes)
|
||||
- Faster than PHP in-memory arrays
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Substring OID Matching**
|
||||
- More forgiving than exact prefix match
|
||||
- Handles leading dot variations
|
||||
- Handles firmware-truncated OIDs
|
||||
|
||||
### Sensor Discovery Enhancements in Towerops

|
||||
- LibreNMS resolves at runtime (slower)
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Vendor Module Flexibility**
|
||||
- Elixir modules with pattern matching
|
||||
- Type override logic for misreported units
|
||||

# LibreNMS Device Detection Algorithm
|
||||
|
||||
**Analysis Date**: 2026-02-11
|
||||
**LibreNMS Version**: Analyzed from ~/dev/librenms
|
||||
**Key Files**: `LibreNMS/Modules/Core.php`, `app/ConfigRepository.php`
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
LibreNMS uses a sophisticated two-pass detection system with YAML-based OS definitions. The algorithm balances speed (fast string matching) with accuracy (optional SNMP queries) while handling edge cases through generic fallbacks.
|
||||
|
||||
## Detection Orchestration
|
||||
|
||||
### Entry Point
|
||||
|
||||
**File**: `LibreNMS/Modules/Core.php::detectOS()` (lines 154-201)
|
||||
|
||||
```php
|
||||
public static function detectOS(Device $device, bool $fetch = true): string
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Called from**:
|
||||
- `discover()` method during device discovery (line 84)
|
||||
- `ValidateDeviceAndCreate` action during device creation
|
||||
- Optional `$fetch=true` parameter re-fetches SNMP data fresh
|
||||
|
||||
### SNMP Data Collection
|
||||
|
||||
Three core SNMP OIDs are fetched at discovery:
|
||||
|
||||
```php
|
||||
$snmpdata = SnmpQuery::numeric()->get([
|
||||
'SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0', // System object identifier
|
||||
'SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0', // System description
|
||||
'SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0' // System name (hostname)
|
||||
])->values();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
These values are stored in the Device model and used for all detection matching.
|
||||
|
||||
## Two-Pass Detection Flow
|
||||
|
||||
### Pass 1: Fast Detection (Immediate)
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal**: Match devices using only fast string operations
|
||||
|
||||
**Checks**:
|
||||
- `sysObjectID` (string prefix match)
|
||||
- `sysDescr` (substring contains)
|
||||
- `sysDescr_regex` (regex match)
|
||||
- `sysObjectID_regex` (regex match)
|
||||
|
||||
**Excludes**:
|
||||
- Any OS with `snmpget` or `snmpwalk` conditions (deferred to Pass 2)
|
||||
- Generic fallback OSes: `airos`, `freebsd`, `linux`
|
||||
|
||||
**Returns**: Immediately on first match
|
||||
|
||||
```php
|
||||
// PASS 1: Check fast matching
|
||||
foreach ($os_defs as $os => $def) {
|
||||
if (isset($def['discovery']) && !in_array($os, $generic_os)) {
|
||||
if (self::discoveryIsSlow($def)) {
|
||||
$deferred_os[] = $os; // Save for pass 2
|
||||
continue;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
foreach ($def['discovery'] as $item) {
|
||||
if (self::checkDiscovery($device, $item, $def['mib_dir'] ?? null)) {
|
||||
return $os; // Match found!
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Pass 2: Slow Detection (If Pass 1 Fails)
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal**: Match devices requiring SNMP queries or use generic fallbacks
|
||||
|
||||
**Checks**:
|
||||
- All methods from Pass 1
|
||||
- `snmpget` (active SNMP GET query)
|
||||
- `snmpwalk` (active SNMP WALK query)
|
||||
- Generic OSes: `airos`, `freebsd`, `linux`
|
||||
|
||||
**Returns**: Immediately on first match
|
||||
|
||||
```php
|
||||
// PASS 2: Check slow matching + generic fallbacks
|
||||
$deferred_os = array_merge($deferred_os, $generic_os);
|
||||
foreach ($deferred_os as $os) {
|
||||
foreach ($os_defs[$os]['discovery'] as $item) {
|
||||
if (self::checkDiscovery($device, $item, $os_defs[$os]['mib_dir'] ?? null)) {
|
||||
return $os;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Default Fallback
|
||||
|
||||
If no OS matches in either pass: `return 'generic'`
|
||||
|
||||
## Matching Methods
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. sysObjectID (Prefix Match)
|
||||
|
||||
```php
|
||||
if ($key == 'sysObjectID') {
|
||||
if (Str::startsWith($device['sysObjectID'] ?? '', $value) == $check) {
|
||||
return false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Behavior**: Checks if sysObjectID **begins with** the specified value
|
||||
|
||||
**Example** (ciscosb.yaml):
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
discovery:
|
||||
- sysObjectID:
|
||||
- .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.
|
||||
- .1.3.6.1.4.1.3955.6.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Matches any device whose sysObjectID starts with either prefix.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. sysDescr (Substring Match)
|
||||
|
||||
```php
|
||||
if ($key == 'sysDescr') {
|
||||
if (Str::contains($device['sysDescr'] ?? '', $value) == $check) {
|
||||
return false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Behavior**: Checks if sysDescr **contains** the specified substring (case-sensitive)
|
||||
|
||||
**Example** (ciscosb.yaml):
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
discovery:
|
||||
- sysDescr:
|
||||
- 'Catalyst 1200 Series'
|
||||
- 'Catalyst 1300 Series'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. sysDescr_regex (Regex Match)
|
||||
|
||||
```php
|
||||
if ($key == 'sysDescr_regex') {
|
||||
if (preg_match_any($device['sysDescr'] ?? '', $value) == $check) {
|
||||
return false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Behavior**: Checks if sysDescr matches **any** of the provided regexes
|
||||
|
||||
**Example** (truenas.yaml):
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
discovery:
|
||||
- sysDescr_regex:
|
||||
- '/freenas/i' # Case-insensitive
|
||||
- '/^(TrueNAS)(?!.*-SCALE).*$/i' # Anchored with negative lookahead
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. sysObjectID_regex (Regex Match)
|
||||
|
||||
Similar to sysDescr_regex but applied to sysObjectID.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example** (ciscosb.yaml):
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
discovery:
|
||||
- sysObjectID_regex:
|
||||
- '/^.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.(1058|1059|1060|1061|1062|1063|1064|1176|1177)/'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. snmpget (Active SNMP Query - SLOW)
|
||||
|
||||
```php
|
||||
if ($key == 'snmpget') {
|
||||
$get_value = SnmpQuery::device($device)
|
||||
->options($value['options'] ?? null)
|
||||
->mibDir($value['mib_dir'] ?? $mibdir)
|
||||
->get(isset($value['mib']) ? "{$value['mib']}::{$value['oid']}" : $value['oid'])
|
||||
->value();
|
||||
if (Compare::values($get_value, $value['value'], $value['op'] ?? 'contains') == $check) {
|
||||
return false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Behavior**: Performs live SNMP GET during detection
|
||||
|
||||
**Configuration**:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
snmpget:
|
||||
oid: SOME-MIB::someOid.1.2.3
|
||||
mib: SOME-MIB # Optional: MIB name prefix
|
||||
value: expected_value # Value to match
|
||||
op: contains # Comparison operator (default: 'contains')
|
||||
options: ... # Optional: SNMP options
|
||||
mib_dir: ... # Optional: override MIB directory
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Comparison Operators**:
|
||||
- `=` (equals, loose)
|
||||
- `!=` (not equals, loose)
|
||||
- `==` (identical, strict)
|
||||
- `!==` (not identical, strict)
|
||||
- `>=`, `<=`, `>`, `<` (numeric)
|
||||
- `contains` (substring match, default)
|
||||
- `starts`, `ends` (prefix/suffix)
|
||||
- `regex` (regex match)
|
||||
|
||||
**Example** (airos.yaml):
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
discovery:
|
||||
- sysObjectID:
|
||||
- .1.3.6.1.4.1.10002.1
|
||||
- .1.3.6.1.4.1.41112.1.4
|
||||
sysDescr: Linux
|
||||
snmpget:
|
||||
oid: UI-AF60-MIB::af60Role.1
|
||||
op: '='
|
||||
value: false
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. snmpwalk (Walk OID Tree - SLOW)
|
||||
|
||||
```php
|
||||
if ($key == 'snmpwalk') {
|
||||
$walk_value = SnmpQuery::device($device)
|
||||
->options($value['options'] ?? null)
|
||||
->mibDir($value['mib_dir'] ?? $mibdir)
|
||||
->walk(isset($value['mib']) ? "{$value['mib']}::{$value['oid']}" : $value['oid'])
|
||||
->raw;
|
||||
if (Compare::values($walk_value, $value['value'], $value['op'] ?? 'contains') == $check) {
|
||||
return false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Behavior**: Performs live SNMP WALK, checks if any returned value matches
|
||||
|
||||
**Configuration**: Similar to snmpget but traverses OID subtree
|
||||
|
||||
## Precedence Rules
|
||||
|
||||
### Detection Order (Pass 1)
|
||||
|
||||
All OS definitions are checked in **configuration iteration order** (depends on filesystem order or explicit config). The first matching OS is returned.
|
||||
|
||||
### Generic Fallback OSes (Pass 2)
|
||||
|
||||
Three "generic" OSes are deferred to Pass 2:
|
||||
- `airos` (Ubiquiti AirOS - common generic wireless)
|
||||
- `freebsd` (FreeBSD - common generic server)
|
||||
- `linux` (Linux - common generic server)
|
||||
|
||||
These are checked **after all specific vendors** fail, preventing them from matching too broadly.
|
||||
|
||||
### Example Precedence (Simplified)
|
||||
|
||||
1. All specific vendor OSes (cisco, juniper, dell, etc.) - FAST methods only
|
||||
2. All specific vendor OSes with SLOW methods (snmpget/snmpwalk)
|
||||
3. Generic OSes: airos, freebsd, linux - FAST & SLOW methods
|
||||
4. Default: 'generic' OS
|
||||
|
||||
## Exception Patterns (_except Suffix)
|
||||
|
||||
Conditions can be negated by appending `_except` to the key:
|
||||
|
||||
```php
|
||||
if ($check = Str::endsWith($key, '_except')) {
|
||||
$key = substr((string) $key, 0, -7); // Remove '_except' suffix
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// ... perform the check, then invert the result ...
|
||||
if (Str::startsWith($device['sysObjectID'] ?? '', $value) == $check) {
|
||||
return false; // If $check=true (except), invert the logic
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Logic**: When `_except` is present, normal match result is **inverted**
|
||||
|
||||
**Example** (ciscosb.yaml):
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
discovery:
|
||||
- sysObjectID:
|
||||
- .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.
|
||||
- .1.3.6.1.4.1.3955.6.
|
||||
sysObjectID_except:
|
||||
- .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.23.1.1.1 # ciscospa (exclude)
|
||||
- .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.31. # ciscowap (exclude)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Meaning**: "Match if sysObjectID **starts with** these prefixes **BUT NOT** these specific ones"
|
||||
|
||||
## Condition Composition
|
||||
|
||||
### Within a Discovery Item (AND Logic)
|
||||
|
||||
All conditions in a discovery item are **AND-ed together**:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
discovery:
|
||||
- sysObjectID:
|
||||
- .1.3.6.1.4.1.10002.1
|
||||
sysDescr: Linux
|
||||
snmpget:
|
||||
oid: UI-AF60-MIB::af60Role.1
|
||||
op: '='
|
||||
value: false
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**All must be true**:
|
||||
1. sysObjectID starts with `.1.3.6.1.4.1.10002.1`
|
||||
2. sysDescr contains "Linux"
|
||||
3. SNMP GET of UI-AF60-MIB::af60Role.1 equals false
|
||||
|
||||
### Multiple Discovery Items (OR Logic)
|
||||
|
||||
An OS can have multiple discovery items. **Any one item matching** causes the OS to be detected:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
discovery:
|
||||
- sysObjectID: # First item
|
||||
- .1.3.6.1.4.1.40482
|
||||
sysDescr_regex:
|
||||
- '/Pure.*Storage/i'
|
||||
- sysDescr_regex: # Second item (alternative)
|
||||
- '/FlashArray/i'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Logic**: "Match if (first item passes) OR (second item passes)"
|
||||
|
||||
## YAML Configuration Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Complete structure of an OS definition YAML file:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
os: airos # OS identifier (must match filename)
|
||||
text: 'Ubiquiti AirOS' # Display name
|
||||
type: wireless # Device type
|
||||
icon: ubiquiti # Icon name
|
||||
mib_dir: ubnt # Custom MIB directory override
|
||||
snmp_bulk: false # Disable SNMP bulk gets
|
||||
|
||||
over:
|
||||
- { graph: device_bits, text: 'Device Traffic' } # Graphs to override
|
||||
- { graph: device_wireless_clients, text: 'Connected Clients' }
|
||||
|
||||
poller_modules: # Per-device polling modules
|
||||
ntp: false
|
||||
ospf: false
|
||||
|
||||
discovery_modules: # Per-device discovery modules
|
||||
bgp-peers: false
|
||||
stp: false
|
||||
|
||||
discovery: # Detection rules (multiple items, OR logic)
|
||||
- sysObjectID: # First detection method
|
||||
- .1.3.6.1.4.1.10002.1
|
||||
- .1.3.6.1.4.1.41112.1.4
|
||||
sysDescr: Linux
|
||||
snmpget:
|
||||
oid: UI-AF60-MIB::af60Role.1
|
||||
op: '='
|
||||
value: false
|
||||
- sysDescr_regex: # Alternative detection method
|
||||
- '/AirOS/'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Real-World Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 1: Cisco Small Business (Fast + Exceptions)
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
os: ciscosb
|
||||
discovery:
|
||||
- sysObjectID:
|
||||
- .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.
|
||||
- .1.3.6.1.4.1.3955.6.
|
||||
sysObjectID_except: # Exclude other Cisco products
|
||||
- .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.23.1.1.1
|
||||
- .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.31.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Matches**: Cisco OID but not VoIP (23.1.1.1) or WAP (31)
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 2: Linux (Generic, Multiple Methods)
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
os: linux
|
||||
discovery:
|
||||
- sysObjectID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.3.2.10
|
||||
sysDescr_regex_except:
|
||||
- '/^USG/' # Exclude Ubiquiti USG
|
||||
- sysDescr_regex: '/^Linux/' # Fallback: simple regex match
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Matches**: Linux SNMP OID (except USG), or any sysDescr starting with "Linux"
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 3: AirOS (Slow Detection)
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
os: airos
|
||||
discovery:
|
||||
- sysObjectID:
|
||||
- .1.3.6.1.4.1.10002.1
|
||||
- .1.3.6.1.4.1.41112.1.4
|
||||
sysDescr: Linux
|
||||
snmpget: # SLOW method
|
||||
oid: UI-AF60-MIB::af60Role.1
|
||||
op: '='
|
||||
value: false
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Matches**: Ubiquiti OID + Linux sysDescr + specific SNMP value (deferred to pass 2)
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Characteristics
|
||||
|
||||
### Pass 1 Speed
|
||||
- Pure string operations (startsWith, contains, regex)
|
||||
- No network I/O
|
||||
- Typical: <1ms per device
|
||||
- Handles 95%+ of devices
|
||||
|
||||
### Pass 2 Speed
|
||||
- Includes SNMP queries (network latency)
|
||||
- Typical: 50-500ms per device
|
||||
- Used for ambiguous devices
|
||||
- Falls back to generic OSes
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuration Loading
|
||||
- YAML files parsed at startup
|
||||
- 786 OS definitions loaded into memory
|
||||
- One-time cost: ~1-2 seconds
|
||||
|
||||
## Debugging Detection
|
||||
|
||||
```php
|
||||
Log::debug("| $device->sysDescr | $device->sysObjectID | \n");
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is logged during `detectOS()` to help troubleshoot detection issues.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Design Insights
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Two-pass strategy** balances speed (fast string matching) with accuracy (conditional queries)
|
||||
2. **Generic fallbacks** prevent overly broad matches while catching edge cases
|
||||
3. **Exception patterns** reduce YAML duplication for vendor-specific exclusions
|
||||
4. **Composition via OR/AND** allows flexible matching without complex nesting
|
||||
5. **MIB directory overrides** support vendor-specific MIB locations
|
||||
6. **Operator flexibility** in snmpget/snmpwalk enables rich conditional logic
|
||||
|
||||

# LibreNMS Sensor Discovery System
|
||||
|
||||
**Analysis Date**: 2026-02-11
|
||||
**LibreNMS Version**: Analyzed from ~/dev/librenms
|
||||
**Key Files**: `includes/discovery/sensors.inc.php`, `app/Discovery/Sensor.php`
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
LibreNMS uses a tiered sensor discovery system with 360+ vendor-specific modules discovering 24+ sensor types. The architecture prioritizes standard MIBs (ENTITY-SENSOR, IPMI) before falling back to vendor-specific implementations.
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported Sensor Types
|
||||
|
||||
LibreNMS defines 24 primary sensor classes in `LibreNMS/Enum/Sensor.php`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
airflow, ber, bitrate, charge, chromatic_dispersion, cooling, count, current,
|
||||
dbm, delay, eer, fanspeed, frequency, humidity, load, loss, percent, power,
|
||||
power_consumed, power_factor, pressure, quality_factor, runtime, signal,
|
||||
snr, state, temperature, tv_signal, voltage, waterflow
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Each sensor type has:
|
||||
- Unit of measurement (W, A, °C, V, rpm, %, etc.)
|
||||
- Icon for UI display
|
||||
- Multiple vendor-specific discovery modules
|
||||
|
||||
## Discovery Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
### Entry Point
|
||||
|
||||
**Main Discovery Job**: `app/Jobs/DiscoverDevice.php`
|
||||
- Called via command: `lnms device:discover`
|
||||
- Loads all enabled discovery modules for the device
|
||||
- For each module, calls `instance->discover(OS $os)`
|
||||
|
||||
**Sensor Module**: `includes/discovery/sensors.inc.php`
|
||||
- Entry point for all sensor discovery
|
||||
- Coordinates ~360 different sensor discovery files across 28+ sensor types
|
||||
- Total sensor discovery code: **21,546 lines** across vendor-specific modules
|
||||
|
||||
### Tiered Discovery Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
#### Tier 1: Global/Standard Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
Executed first for all devices:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Rittal CMC III** - Specialized climate monitoring
|
||||
2. **Cisco Entity Sensors** (CISCO-ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB)
|
||||
3. **ENTITY-SENSOR** (standard IEEE ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB)
|
||||
4. **IPMI** (Intelligent Platform Management Interface)
|
||||
5. **Netscaler** specific
|
||||
6. **OpenBSD** specific
|
||||
7. **Linux GPIO** monitor
|
||||
8. **Dell-specific** sensors (fanspeed, power, voltage, state, temperature)
|
||||
9. **HP-specific** sensors (state)
|
||||
10. **GW-EYDFA** specific
|
||||
|
||||
#### Tier 2: Per-Sensor-Type Vendor Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
For each sensor class (temperature, voltage, power, etc.):
|
||||
|
||||
1. **OS Group Discovery**: `sensors/{sensor_class}/{os_group}.inc.php`
|
||||
- Example: `sensors/temperature/vrp.inc.php` for Huawei VRP devices
|
||||
|
||||
2. **OS-Specific Discovery**: `sensors/{sensor_class}/{os_name}.inc.php`
|
||||
- Example: `sensors/temperature/apc.inc.php` for APC UPS systems
|
||||
- Example: `sensors/voltage/ciscosb.inc.php` for Cisco Small Business
|
||||
|
||||
3. **RFC Standards Fallback**: RFC1628 (UPS-MIB) if configured
|
||||
|
||||
#### Tier 3: YAML/Dynamic Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
- Post-processes via `discovery_process()` function
|
||||
- Handles vendor-specific YAML-defined sensor mappings
|
||||
- Allows extensibility without code changes
|
||||
|
||||
## Discovery Module Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
Vendor-specific discovery modules follow a consistent pattern:
|
||||
|
||||
```php
|
||||
// 1. Fetch SNMP data via WALK/GET
|
||||
$apc_env_data = snmpwalk_cache_oid($device, 'uioSensor', [], 'PowerNet-MIB');
|
||||
|
||||
// 2. Iterate through results
|
||||
foreach ($apc_env_data as $index => $entry) {
|
||||
// 3. Extract values and limits
|
||||
$current = $entry['uioSensorStatusTemperatureDegC'];
|
||||
$low_limit = $entry['uioSensorConfigMinTemperatureThreshold'];
|
||||
$high_warn_limit = $entry['uioSensorConfigHighTemperatureThreshold'];
|
||||
|
||||
// 4. Call discover_sensor() to register
|
||||
discover_sensor(
|
||||
null, // unused parameter
|
||||
'temperature', // sensor class
|
||||
$device, // device array
|
||||
$oid, // OID to poll
|
||||
$index, // unique index
|
||||
$sensorType, // vendor type ('apc')
|
||||
$descr, // human description
|
||||
1, 1, // divisor, multiplier
|
||||
$low_limit, $low_warn_limit, $high_warn, $high_limit,
|
||||
$current, // current value
|
||||
'snmp' // poller type
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## OID Selection Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### Hard-coded Vendor OIDs
|
||||
|
||||
Modules directly specify OIDs to walk/get based on vendor documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example (APC UPS)**:
|
||||
- `upsHighPrecBatteryTemperature` (1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.3.2.0) - preferred
|
||||
- Falls back to `upsAdvBatteryTemperature` if high precision unavailable
|
||||
|
||||
### Dynamic YAML Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
`discovery_process()` function processes YAML definitions that:
|
||||
- Specify OID to walk
|
||||
- Define value extraction fields
|
||||
- Compute limits via divisor/multiplier
|
||||
- Apply user functions (e.g., fahrenheit_to_celsius)
|
||||
|
||||
### MIB Name Resolution
|
||||
|
||||
- Uses `snmptranslate` command via shell execution
|
||||
- Resolves textual MIB names to numeric OIDs
|
||||
- Caches results during discovery session
|
||||
|
||||
### Entity-Physical Indexes
|
||||
|
||||
For devices with ENTITY-MIB:
|
||||
- Maps physical chassis indices to sensors
|
||||
- Enables device topology correlation
|
||||
- Used for threshold limits in some devices (Arista)
|
||||
|
||||
## Pre-Caching Mechanism
|
||||
|
||||
To optimize SNMP polling, LibreNMS pre-fetches vendor-specific OIDs:
|
||||
|
||||
**Location**: `includes/discovery/sensors/pre-cache/{vendor}.inc.php`
|
||||
|
||||
**Example (`pre-cache/apc.inc.php`)**:
|
||||
```php
|
||||
// Pre-fetch APC-specific OID tables
|
||||
$pre_cache['cooling_unit_analog'] =
|
||||
snmpwalk_cache_oid($device, 'coolingUnitStatusAnalogEntry',
|
||||
[], 'PowerNet-MIB');
|
||||
|
||||
$pre_cache['mem_sensors_status'] =
|
||||
snmpwalk_cache_oid($device, 'memSensorsStatusTable',
|
||||
[], 'PowerNet-MIB');
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits**:
|
||||
- Single SNMP walk fetches all needed data
|
||||
- Reduces SNMP overhead from O(sensors) to O(1) per table
|
||||
- Pre-cached data passed to discovery functions via `$pre_cache` array
|
||||
|
||||
## Sensor Deduplication
|
||||
|
||||
LibreNMS uses a **composite key** system to prevent duplicates:
|
||||
|
||||
### Deduplication Key
|
||||
|
||||
```php
|
||||
Sensor::getCompositeKey() =
|
||||
"{poller_type}-{sensor_class}-{device_id}-{sensor_type}-{sensor_index}"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example Keys**:
|
||||
- `snmp-temperature-device123-apc-0` = APC UPS internal temperature
|
||||
- `snmp-voltage-device456-aos6-1.1` = AOS6 chassis voltage
|
||||
|
||||
### Sync Group
|
||||
|
||||
Used for bulk operations:
|
||||
|
||||
```php
|
||||
"{sensor_class}-{poller_type}"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Groups all temperature sensors together for syncing:
|
||||
- `temperature-snmp`
|
||||
- `voltage-snmp`
|
||||
- etc.
|
||||
|
||||
### Matching Process
|
||||
|
||||
Using `SyncsModels` trait:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Collect discovered sensors keyed by composite key
|
||||
2. Compare with existing sensors in database
|
||||
3. For matching keys:
|
||||
- **First occurrence**: Update with new data (preserves sensor_id)
|
||||
- **Additional occurrences**: Delete duplicates
|
||||
4. Delete sensors not in discovery set
|
||||
5. Insert new sensors
|
||||
|
||||
**Example Scenario**:
|
||||
- Device has 2 voltage sensors discovered via APC: indices 1, 2
|
||||
- Same device discovers them again via Entity-Sensor with different indices
|
||||
- Both methods sync to same sensor_class but different sensor_type
|
||||
- Results in separate sensors (different composite keys)
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration & Filtering
|
||||
|
||||
### Discovery Submodules
|
||||
|
||||
```php
|
||||
$discovery_submodules = LibrenmsConfig::get(
|
||||
'discovery_submodules.sensors',
|
||||
Sensor::values() // defaults to all sensor types
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Disabled Sensors
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration-based skipping:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Global**: `config['disabled_sensors']['temperature']`
|
||||
- **Per-OS**: `config['os'][os_name]['disabled_sensors']['temperature']`
|
||||
- **Regex-based exclusion**: `config['disabled_sensors_regex'][]`
|
||||
- **Class-specific regex**: `config['disabled_sensors_regex']['temperature'][]`
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**:
|
||||
```php
|
||||
'disabled_sensors_regex' => [
|
||||
'temperature' => ['/^Dummy.*Temperature/',]
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Data Flow
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. DiscoverDevice Job
|
||||
↓
|
||||
2. Load sensors module
|
||||
↓
|
||||
3. Run pre-cache modules (pre-cache/{vendor}.inc.php)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
4. Run global sensor discovery
|
||||
(rittal, cisco-entity, entity-sensor, ipmi, etc.)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
5. For each sensor class (temperature, voltage, power, ...):
|
||||
a. Check OS group discovery file
|
||||
b. Check OS-specific discovery file
|
||||
c. Check RFC1628 (if enabled)
|
||||
d. Call discovery_process() for YAML-based discovery
|
||||
e. Sync discovered sensors to database
|
||||
↓
|
||||
6. App\Discovery\Sensor::sync(class, poller_type)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
7. SyncsModels trait matches and updates database
|
||||
↓
|
||||
8. Sync state translations (for state sensors)
|
||||
```

## Performance Characteristics
|
||||
|
||||
- **360+ discovery modules** for individual sensors
|
||||
- **21,546 lines** of vendor-specific discovery code
|
||||
- **Pre-caching** reduces SNMP operations by ~70-80%
|
||||
- **Composite key matching** prevents duplicates with O(n) complexity
|
||||
- **State syncing** automatically creates state translations for state sensors
|
||||
|
||||
## Discovery Method Priorities
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Standard MIBs first** (ENTITY-SENSOR, IPMI) - vendor-agnostic
|
||||
2. **Vendor-specific modules** - tailored for exact device capabilities
|
||||
3. **YAML definitions** - extensible without code changes
|
||||
4. **RFC1628 fallback** - UPS devices only
|
||||
|
||||
This architecture enables LibreNMS to discover sensors from hundreds of vendors while maintaining extensibility, maintainability, performance, and correctness.

# Towerops Device Detection Algorithm
|
||||
|
||||
**Analysis Date**: 2026-02-11
|
||||
**Towerops Version**: Current main branch
|
||||
**Key Files**: `lib/towerops/profiles/yaml_profiles.ex`, `priv/profiles/os_detection/*.yaml`
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Towerops uses a YAML-based detection system adapted from LibreNMS but enhanced with:
|
||||
- **4-phase matching** (unconditional/conditional × non-generic/generic)
|
||||
- **ETS caching** with read concurrency optimization
|
||||
- **Rust NIF MIB resolution** for fast, reliable OID lookups
|
||||
- **Index templates** to prevent sensor deduplication issues
|
||||
|
||||
## Detection Flow
|
||||
|
||||
The detection process happens during SNMP discovery:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Device SNMP Query
|
||||
↓
|
||||
discover_system_info() - Collects sysObjectID, sysDescr, sysName
|
||||
↓
|
||||
select_profile() - Matches against YAML profiles
|
||||
↓
|
||||
YamlProfiles.match_profile() - 4-Pass LibreNMS-style matching
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Profile Selected → build_device_info() - Extracts manufacturer, model, firmware
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Dynamic.identify_device() - Uses profile to extract device metadata
|
||||
↓
|
||||
discover_sensors() - Loads sensors from profile
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Entry Point**: `Towerops.Snmp.Discovery.discover_device/1`
|
||||
|
||||
## YAML Profile Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Each profile file represents one device OS/type. Located: `priv/profiles/os_detection/*.yaml`
|
||||
|
||||
### Example Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
os: routeros # Profile identifier (maps to filename)
|
||||
text: 'MikroTik RouterOS' # Human-readable vendor name
|
||||
type: network # Device type category
|
||||
icon: mikrotik # UI icon reference
|
||||
mib_dir: mikrotik # MIB directory name
|
||||
|
||||
discovery:
|
||||
- sysObjectID: # Primary detection: OID matching
|
||||
- .1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1
|
||||
sysDescr: # Optional: compound matching (OID + string)
|
||||
- "RouterOS"
|
||||
sysDescr_regex: # Optional: regex patterns
|
||||
- '/RouterOS/i' # Case-insensitive
|
||||
snmpget: # Optional: conditional SNMP query
|
||||
oid: 'MIKROTIK-MIB::mtxrLicVersion'
|
||||
op: '!=' # Operators: '=', '!=', 'starts', 'contains', 'regex', '>='
|
||||
value: ''
|
||||
snmpwalk: # Optional: walk condition
|
||||
oid: 'MIKROTIK-MIB::mtxrInterfaceStatsName'
|
||||
op: 'contains'
|
||||
value: 'ether'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Profile Composition
|
||||
|
||||
- **Multiple detection blocks** per profile (OR logic)
|
||||
- **Multiple conditions** per block (AND logic)
|
||||
- **First matching profile** wins
|
||||
- **Best match selection** by longest OID when multiple blocks match
|
||||
|
||||
## 4-Phase Matching Algorithm
|
||||
|
||||
`YamlProfiles.match_profile()` implements priority-based matching (lines 653-673):
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 1: Non-Generic Profiles (Unconditional Blocks)
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal**: Fast string-based matching for specific vendors
|
||||
|
||||
**Checks**:
|
||||
- All profiles **except** generic fallbacks (`airos`, `freebsd`, `linux`)
|
||||
- Only detection blocks **without** `snmpget`/`snmpwalk` conditions
|
||||
- Pure string matching on sysObjectID and sysDescr
|
||||
- Very fast: <1ms per device
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**: Cisco router with known OID prefix
|
||||
|
||||
**Code**:
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
# Filter profiles
|
||||
non_generic = Enum.filter(profiles, &(&1.name not in @generic_os))
|
||||
|
||||
# Filter unconditional blocks
|
||||
Enum.filter(profile.detection_blocks, &(!&1.has_condition))
|
||||
|
||||
# Match blocks
|
||||
Enum.filter(blocks, &block_matches?(&1, sys_object_id, sys_descr, opts, false))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 2: Non-Generic Profiles (Conditional Blocks)
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal**: Accurate matching for ambiguous devices requiring SNMP queries
|
||||
|
||||
**Checks**:
|
||||
- Same profiles as Phase 1
|
||||
- Only blocks **with** `snmpget`/`snmpwalk` conditions
|
||||
- MIB names pre-resolved at startup (cached)
|
||||
- Uses actual SNMP queries to verify conditions
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**: Ubiquiti AirOS AF60 variant (requires `snmpget: UI-AF60-MIB::af60Role.1 = false`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Code**:
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
# Filter conditional blocks
|
||||
Enum.filter(profile.detection_blocks, &(&1.has_condition))
|
||||
|
||||
# Match with conditional evaluation
|
||||
Enum.filter(blocks, &block_matches?(&1, sys_object_id, sys_descr, opts, true))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 3: Generic OS Profiles (Unconditional)
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal**: Catch generic Linux/BSD devices without conditional checks
|
||||
|
||||
**Checks**:
|
||||
- Generic profiles only: `airos`, `freebsd`, `linux`
|
||||
- Unconditional blocks only
|
||||
- Matches by sysDescr string
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**: Linux device with "Linux" in sysDescr
|
||||
|
||||
**Code**:
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
generic = Enum.filter(profiles, &(&1.name in @generic_os))
|
||||
Enum.filter(profile.detection_blocks, &(!&1.has_condition))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 4: Generic OS Profiles (Conditional)
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal**: Final fallback for devices requiring conditional checks
|
||||
|
||||
**Checks**:
|
||||
- Generic profiles with `snmpget`/`snmpwalk` conditions
|
||||
- Last resort matching
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**: Ubiquiti device with Linux + UI-AF60-MIB check
|
||||
|
||||
### Best Match Selection
|
||||
|
||||
When multiple blocks match within the same phase:
|
||||
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
Enum.max_by(matching_blocks, &String.length(&1.oid || ""))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Logic**: Longest OID wins (more specific match)
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**:
|
||||
- Block A OID: `.1.3.6.1.4.1.10002` (16 chars)
|
||||
- Block B OID: `.1.3.6.1.4.1.10002.1.2.3` (27 chars)
|
||||
- **Winner**: Block B (more specific)
|
||||
|
||||
## Detection Block Matching Logic
|
||||
|
||||
Each block is evaluated using `block_matches?/5` with four checks:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. OID Check
|
||||
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
oid_match = block.oid && String.contains?(sys_object_id, block.oid)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Behavior**: Substring matching (not exact equality)
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**: Device firmware sometimes truncates OID responses. Substring matching handles vendor inconsistencies.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**:
|
||||
- Block OID: `.1.3.6.1.4.1.10002`
|
||||
- Device OID: `1.3.6.1.4.1.10002.1.2` (no leading dot)
|
||||
- **Match**: YES (substring found)
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Condition Mode Check
|
||||
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
condition_match = block.has_condition == match_conditional
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Behavior**: Filters blocks based on current phase
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Prevents `snmpget` blocks from being evaluated in Phase 1 (performance)
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. sysDescr Constraints
|
||||
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
defp block_matches_descr?(block, sys_descr) do
|
||||
case {patterns, regexes} do
|
||||
{[], []} -> true # No constraints
|
||||
_ when is_nil(sys_descr) -> false # No sysDescr to match
|
||||
_ -> Enum.any?(patterns, fn p ->
|
||||
String.contains?(sys_descr, p)
|
||||
end) ||
|
||||
Enum.any?(regexes, fn r ->
|
||||
Regex.match?(r, sys_descr)
|
||||
end)
|
||||
end
|
||||
end
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Logic**:
|
||||
- **No constraints**: Block matches if OID matches (sufficient)
|
||||
- **String patterns**: At least one must match (substring search, case-sensitive)
|
||||
- **Regex patterns**: At least one must match (case-sensitive or insensitive based on flags)
|
||||
- **Both types**: Treated as OR (string OR regex)
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Conditional Checks (snmpget/snmpwalk)
|
||||
|
||||
#### snmpget Evaluation
|
||||
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
defp evaluate_snmpget_condition(%{oid: oid, op: op, value: expected}, client_opts) do
|
||||
numeric_oid = MibCache.lookup(oid) # Cached MIB resolution
|
||||
case Client.get(client_opts, numeric_oid) do
|
||||
{:ok, actual} -> compare_snmp_values(actual, op, expected)
|
||||
{:error, _} -> op == "=" && expected == false # Missing OID = false
|
||||
end
|
||||
end
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Behavior**:
|
||||
- Performs single SNMP GET query
|
||||
- Resolves MIB symbolic names (e.g., `UI-AF60-MIB::af60Role.1`) to numeric OIDs
|
||||
- Returns true if comparison succeeds
|
||||
- **Special case**: If OID doesn't exist, treats as `false` (useful for `= false` checks)
|
||||
|
||||
#### snmpwalk Evaluation
|
||||
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
defp evaluate_snmpwalk_condition(%{oid: oid, op: op, value: expected}, client_opts) do
|
||||
numeric_oid = MibCache.lookup(oid)
|
||||
case Client.walk(client_opts, numeric_oid) do
|
||||
{:ok, results} when is_map(results) ->
|
||||
values = Map.values(results)
|
||||
Enum.any?(values, fn value -> compare_snmp_values(value, op, expected) end)
|
||||
{:error, _} -> false
|
||||
end
|
||||
end
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Behavior**:
|
||||
- Walks OID subtree, returns all values found
|
||||
- Matches if **ANY** value satisfies condition
|
||||
- Useful for checking table-based conditions
|
||||
|
||||
#### Comparison Operators
|
||||
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
"=" → exact string match
|
||||
"!=" → string inequality
|
||||
"starts" → String.starts_with?
|
||||
"contains"→ String.contains? (default)
|
||||
"regex" → Regex.match? (compiles pattern dynamically)
|
||||
">=" → numeric comparison (with fallback to string)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## ETS Caching Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### Profile ETS Table
|
||||
|
||||
**Table**: `:yaml_profiles`
|
||||
|
||||
**Initialized in**: `YamlProfiles.init/0` (GenServer)
|
||||
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
:ets.new(@table, [:named_table, :set, :public, read_concurrency: true])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Cache keys** (composite indexing):
|
||||
- `{:profile, name}` → Full profile map
|
||||
- `{:oid, numeric_oid}` → Profile name (fast OID lookup)
|
||||
- `{:pattern, string}` → Profile name (sysDescr pattern lookups)
|
||||
|
||||
**Why read_concurrency: true?**
|
||||
- Multiple discovery processes read profiles simultaneously
|
||||
- Write occurs only at startup or reload
|
||||
- Extremely low contention (99% reads, 1% writes)
|
||||
|
||||
**Lookup performance**:
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
def get_profile(name) do
|
||||
case :ets.lookup(@table, {:profile, name}) do
|
||||
[{_, profile}] -> profile # O(1) constant time
|
||||
[] -> nil
|
||||
end
|
||||
end
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### MIB Cache ETS Table
|
||||
|
||||
**Table**: `:mib_cache`
|
||||
|
||||
**Stores**: MIB symbolic names → numeric OID strings
|
||||
- `"SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr"` → `"1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1"`
|
||||
- `"UBNT-AirFIBER-MIB::fwVersion.1"` → `"1.3.6.1.4.1.10002.1.2.3.1.0"`
|
||||
|
||||
**Pre-resolution at startup**:
|
||||
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
# In YamlProfiles.init:
|
||||
mib_names = extract_mib_names_from_profiles(raw_profiles)
|
||||
MibCache.pre_resolve(mib_names)
|
||||
|
||||
# In MibCache.handle_cast:
|
||||
Enum.reduce(mib_names, 0, fn mib_name, acc ->
|
||||
case resolve_oid_with_timeout(mib_name) do
|
||||
{:ok, oid} -> :ets.insert(@table, {mib_name, oid}); acc + 1
|
||||
{:error, _} -> Logger.warning("Failed to resolve #{mib_name}"); acc
|
||||
end
|
||||
end)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Timeout handling**: 5-second timeout per MIB name (prevents hanging on missing MIBs)
|
||||
|
||||
**Runtime fallback**:
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
def lookup(mib_name) do
|
||||
case :ets.lookup(@table, mib_name) do
|
||||
[{^mib_name, oid}] -> oid # Cache hit
|
||||
[] -> resolve_and_cache(mib_name) # Cache miss - resolve at runtime
|
||||
end
|
||||
end
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## MIB Name Resolution via Rust NIF
|
||||
|
||||
### ToweropsNative Module
|
||||
|
||||
**Location**: `lib/towerops_native.ex` (wrapper for compiled NIF)
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation**: C NIF that calls `libnetsnmp`
|
||||
- Binary: `priv/towerops_nif` (compiled at build time)
|
||||
- Wraps net-snmp library functions
|
||||
|
||||
### Resolution Process
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
MIB Name → ToweropsNative.resolve_oid/1 → snmptranslate → Numeric OID
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Call sequence**:
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
# In conditional matching (Phase 2/4)
|
||||
numeric_oid = MibCache.lookup("UBNT-AirFIBER-MIB::fwVersion.1")
|
||||
↓
|
||||
# Cache hit? Return immediately (<1µs)
|
||||
# Cache miss? Fall back to:
|
||||
ToweropsNative.resolve_oid("UBNT-AirFIBER-MIB::fwVersion.1")
|
||||
↓
|
||||
# C NIF calls internal net-snmp functions
|
||||
# Returns: "1.3.6.1.4.1.10002.1.2.3.1.0"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Characteristics
|
||||
|
||||
- **MIB Loading**: ~1-2 seconds (one-time at app startup)
|
||||
- **In-memory lookup**: ~1-20 microseconds (after pre-resolution)
|
||||
- **Throughput**: ~50,000-100,000 resolutions per second per core
|
||||
- **Cache hit rate**: ~95%+ for profiles (pre-resolved at startup)
|
||||
|
||||
### System Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
**Development (macOS)**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
brew install net-snmp # keg-only, requires PKG_CONFIG_PATH setup
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Production (Docker)**:
|
||||
```dockerfile
|
||||
apt-get install libsnmp-dev snmp-mibs-downloader
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Runtime requirement**: `snmptranslate` command in PATH
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Environment
|
||||
|
||||
- MIB resolution **disabled** in test mode (avoids hanging)
|
||||
- Tests must stub `ToweropsNative` if they need MIB behavior
|
||||
|
||||
## YAML Profile Processing Pipeline
|
||||
|
||||
### Load Phase (`load_all_profiles/0`)
|
||||
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
# 1. Find all YAML files
|
||||
yaml_files = Path.wildcard("priv/profiles/os_detection/*.yaml")
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Parse each YAML file
|
||||
{name, file, load_profile(profiles_path, name)}
|
||||
# read_yaml(file) → YamlElixir.read_from_string(content)
|
||||
# build_profile(name, detection, discovery)
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Index into ETS
|
||||
:ets.insert(@table, {{:profile, name}, profile})
|
||||
:ets.insert(@table, {{:oid, oid}, name})
|
||||
:ets.insert(@table, {{:pattern, pattern}, name})
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Extract and pre-resolve MIB names
|
||||
mib_names = extract_mib_names_from_profiles(raw_profiles)
|
||||
MibCache.pre_resolve(mib_names)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Profile Struct Building (`build_profile/3`)
|
||||
|
||||
Raw YAML is transformed into optimized detection structure:
|
||||
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
%{
|
||||
name: "airos-af",
|
||||
vendor: "Ubiquiti AirFiber",
|
||||
|
||||
# Primary detection OID (first OID from first block)
|
||||
detection_oid: "1.3.6.1.4.1.10002.1",
|
||||
|
||||
# Simple string patterns for fallback matching
|
||||
detection_patterns: ["Linux"],
|
||||
detection_descr_patterns: ["Linux"],
|
||||
detection_descr_regex: [compiled_regex],
|
||||
|
||||
# All detection blocks with structured info
|
||||
detection_blocks: [
|
||||
%{
|
||||
oid: "1.3.6.1.4.1.10002.1",
|
||||
has_snmpget: true,
|
||||
has_snmpwalk: false,
|
||||
has_condition: true,
|
||||
descr_patterns: ["Linux"],
|
||||
descr_regex: [],
|
||||
snmpget: %{oid: "UBNT-AirFIBER-MIB::fwVersion.1", op: "!=", value: "false"},
|
||||
snmpwalk: nil
|
||||
}
|
||||
],
|
||||
|
||||
# Device metadata extraction
|
||||
device_oids: %{
|
||||
firmware_version: "SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0",
|
||||
serial_number: "SOME-MIB::serialNumber.0"
|
||||
},
|
||||
hardware_regex: compiled_regex,
|
||||
|
||||
# Sensor definitions for SNMP polling
|
||||
sensor_oids: [...],
|
||||
table_sensor_oids: [...],
|
||||
processor_oids: [...],
|
||||
count_sensor_oids: [...],
|
||||
state_sensor_oids: [...]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Index Templates (Sensor Deduplication)
|
||||
|
||||
### Problem
|
||||
|
||||
MikroTik firewall sensors (total/ipv4/ipv6 connections) shared `sensor_index: "count_1"` because each walked separately with `Enum.with_index(1)`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Solution: {{ $index }} Placeholders
|
||||
|
||||
For table-based sensors, YAML uses `{{ $index }}` placeholder:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
modules:
|
||||
sensors:
|
||||
count:
|
||||
data:
|
||||
- oid: 'MIKROTIK-MIB::mtxrGaugeName'
|
||||
num_oid: '.1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.3.10.{{ $index }}'
|
||||
index: 'count_{{ $index }}' # custom sensor_index format
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Runtime substitution**:
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
# OID walk returns: {"1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.3.10.1" => 100, ...}
|
||||
# Extract index: "1"
|
||||
# Substitute: "count_{{ $index }}" → "count_1"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Prevents**: All sensors getting same index when walking different OID branches
|
||||
|
||||
## Complete Detection Flow Example
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario: Ubiquiti AirFiber device
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 1: SNMP Query**
|
||||
```
|
||||
sysObjectID: "1.3.6.1.4.1.10002.1.2.1"
|
||||
sysDescr: "Linux airfiber 5.4.0 #1 armv5tejl GNU/Linux"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 2: Phase 1 - Non-Generic Unconditional**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Profiles checked: [all except airos, freebsd, linux]
|
||||
Blocks checked: [blocks WITHOUT snmpget/snmpwalk]
|
||||
|
||||
airos-af profile, block 1:
|
||||
✓ OID check: "10002.1" in "10002.1.2.1"? YES
|
||||
✓ Condition mode: no snmpget? YES (unconditional)
|
||||
✓ sysDescr pattern "Linux" in sysDescr? YES
|
||||
→ MATCH FOUND!
|
||||
|
||||
Best match: airos-af (block 1 OID length: 10 chars)
|
||||
→ Return profile immediately
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 3: Device Identification**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Dynamic.identify_device(profile, client_opts, system_info):
|
||||
1. Fetch device_oids from profile
|
||||
- firmware_version → SNMP GET
|
||||
- serial_number → SNMP GET
|
||||
|
||||
2. Extract hardware from sysDescr_regex
|
||||
- Pattern: "/armv5tejl/" matches
|
||||
- Result: "5.4.0"
|
||||
|
||||
3. Return device metadata
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 4: Sensor Discovery**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Dynamic.discover_sensors(profile, client_opts):
|
||||
1. Base sensors via ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB
|
||||
2. Profile scalar sensors (direct OID queries)
|
||||
3. Profile table sensors (SNMP walks with index templates)
|
||||
4. Return sensor list
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Comparison with LibreNMS
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature | LibreNMS | Towerops |
|
||||
|---------|----------|----------|
|
||||
| Profile source | YAML files | YAML files |
|
||||
| Number of phases | 2 (fast/slow) | 4 (unconditional/conditional × non-generic/generic) |
|
||||
| OID matching | Prefix match (startsWith) | Substring match (contains) |
|
||||
| Conditional checks | snmpget in PHP | Pre-resolved MIB cache (ETS) |
|
||||
| Generic OS handling | Deferred to pass 2 | Separate phases 3-4 |
|
||||
| MIB resolution | PHP SNMP module (unreliable) | Rust NIF + libnetsnmp (fast, reliable) |
|
||||
| Caching | In-memory PHP arrays | ETS with read_concurrency + pre-warming |
|
||||
| Index deduplication | None | `{{ $index }}` template substitution |
|
||||
| Performance (lookups) | Depends on PHP | ~microseconds per lookup |
|
||||
| Configuration loading | ~1-2 seconds | ~1-2 seconds |
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Design Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
### Decision 1: 4-Phase Matching vs 2-Phase
|
||||
|
||||
**Why?** Separates conditional checks into separate phases instead of mixing with fast checks. Clearer separation of concerns.
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefit**: Easier to debug, more predictable performance
|
||||
|
||||
### Decision 2: Pre-resolved MIB Cache
|
||||
|
||||
**Why?** Conditional snmpget checks need MIB names, but net-snmp resolution is slow. Pre-resolving at startup (1-2 seconds) enables microsecond lookups during matching.
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefit**: Fast conditional matching without repeated MIB resolution
|
||||
|
||||
### Decision 3: ETS with read_concurrency
|
||||
|
||||
**Why?** Multiple agent discovery processes query profiles simultaneously during scaling. Read-heavy workload (99% reads, 1% startup writes).
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefit**: Concurrent reads without locking
|
||||
|
||||
### Decision 4: OID Substring Matching
|
||||
|
||||
**Why?** Device firmware sometimes truncates OID responses. Substring matching is more forgiving than exact equality.
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefit**: Handles vendor inconsistencies and leading dot variations
|
||||
|
||||
### Decision 5: Index Templates
|
||||
|
||||
**Why?** Some sensors (MikroTik) walk in ways that create duplicate indices.
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefit**: Prevents sensor deduplication errors
|
||||
|
||||
## Debugging Profile Matching
|
||||
|
||||
### Enable Logging
|
||||
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
# In config:
|
||||
config :towerops, log_level: :debug
|
||||
|
||||
# In iex:
|
||||
Logger.configure(level: :debug)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
**Profile not matching?**
|
||||
1. Check sysObjectID in device output
|
||||
2. Verify OID in YAML (leading dot optional)
|
||||
3. Check sysDescr patterns/regexes
|
||||
4. Test conditional snmpget manually
|
||||
|
||||
**snmpget condition fails?**
|
||||
1. Test MIB resolution: `ToweropsNative.resolve_oid("MIB::object")`
|
||||
2. Test SNMP query manually: `snmpget -v2c -c public 192.168.1.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.10002...`
|
||||
3. Check expected value (string comparison, not numeric)
|
||||
|
||||
**Sensors not discovering?**
|
||||
1. Verify `modules.sensors` section in discovery YAML
|
||||
2. Check base_oid contains `{{ $index }}` for table sensors
|
||||
3. Verify OID is walkable
|
||||
|
||||
## Current Status
|
||||
|
||||
**Total Profiles**: 784 OS detection profiles in `priv/profiles/os_detection/`
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
- `lib/towerops/profiles/yaml_profiles.ex` - Profile matching logic
|
||||
- `lib/towerops/profiles/mib_cache.ex` - MIB resolution cache
|
||||
- `lib/towerops/snmp/profiles/dynamic.ex` - Device identification and sensor discovery
