Tony Murray 4c0412b14d feature: Wireless Sensors Overhaul (#6471)
* feature: Wireless Sensors
Includes client counts for ios and unifi
Graphing could use some improvement.
Alerting and threshold ui not implemented

WIP: starting OO based wireless sensors.

Class based functionality working
remove old functional files
add schema file

discovery needs to be enabled, not polling

fix up schema

fix Unifi discovery not returning an array

Add some debug when discovering a sensor.
Fix style.

Add missing semicolin

Add a null object (Generic) for OS.
Fill out some phpdocs

Re-organized code
Each sensor type now has it's own discovery and polling interface
Custom polling tested with Unifi CCQ

Left to do:
Implement UI (Graphs and Custom thresholds)
Alerting
Testing

Fix event message text

Remove runDiscovery and runPolling from OS, they are unused and don't belong there.

Cleanups/docs

Missed this file.

Remove the requirement to fetch the current value to check validity.
Do that automatically if current is not specified
A few cleanups here and there

First pass at graphing.
device_ and wireless_ graphs added.

Add RouterOS support

Singleton OS instance isn't required right now.
Remove that to allow some memory to be freed.

Add wireless to the device list metrics.
Make all metrics clickable

Tweak graphs a bit

Implement limit configuration page.
Use sensors page as common code instead of duplicating.
Clean up some javascript interactions:  Allow enter on values to save. Cancel if update is not needed. Enable the clear custom button after setting a custom value.
Add some wireless alert rules to the library.

Add documentation.

Add unifi client counts by ssid in addition to radio.
Optimize Sensor polling a bit.

Add HP MSM clients support (for full controller)
Fix function accessibility

Formalize the discovery and poller interfaces.

Add Xirrus clients and noise floor
move module interfaces to a more appropriate place.
push caching code up to os, unsure about this do to the limitations

No point in selectively enabling wireless discovery.  We only discover if the device supports something.

Add RSSI, Power, and Rate.
Add these sensors for Ubnt Airos.
Clean up some copyrights.

Reduce the amount of files need to add new types.
Leave graph files for consistency and to allow customization.

Remove the old wifi clients graph completely.
ciscowlc should have improved counts (total and per-ssid)

Schema didn't get added.

Impelement the rest of the AirOS sensors
Reformat and re-organize the Airos.php class.

Add several UBNT AirFiber sensors

A few fixes add links to the section headers

Add HP MSM mibs.

* Schema file got dropped in rebase.

* Add wireless menu to view sensors across all devices.
Icons in the menu need help :/

* Add HeliOS, Mimosa, and Siklu support
Sensors added SNR + Noise

* Add power and utilization to Unifi

* Update polling to prefetch all sensor data in a few snmp requests as possible

* Add Extendair: tx+rx power, aggregate rate, frequency

* Add a check for duplicate sensors in discovery.  Just print an error for now.

* Add Bit Error Ratio (named error-ratio to allow for bit error rate to be added if needed)
Fix an incorrect link in the wireless sensors table

* Add error rate and change all bps and Hz to use si units

* Fixes to limits and frequency display

* Fix overview graph frequency display
A few decimal place tweaks

* Don't allow switching sensor and wireless-sensor graphs, it doesn't work.
Change individual distance graphs to use si units

* Go through the OS and make sure I got all the sensors I can (probably missed some still)
Because pollWirelessChannelAsFrequency() is generic and a little complex, so pull it up to OS.
Message to help developers adding supports that don't return an array from discover functions.

* Fix some issues

* Remove noise and signal for now at least
A couple more fixes
Add a notification

* Oopsie

* Bonus AirFiber sensors

This document will guide you through adding health / sensor information for your new device.

Currently we have support for the following health metrics along with the values we expect to see the data in:

Class Measurement
airflow cfm
charge %
current A
dbm dBm
fanspeed rpm
frequency Hz
humidity %
load %
power W
runtime Min
signal dBm
state #
temperature C
voltage V

The directory structure for sensor information is includes/discovery/sensors/$class/$os.inc.php. The format of all of the sensors follows the same code format which is to call the discover_sensor() function - with the exception of state which requires additional code.

discover_sensor() Accepts the following arguments:

  • &$valid = This is always $valid['sensor'], do not pass any other values.
  • $class = Required. This is the sensor class from the table above (i.e humidity).
  • $device = Required. This is the $device array.
  • $oid = Required. This must be the numerical OID for where the data can be found, i.e .1.2.3.4.5.6.7.0
  • $index = Required. This must be unique for this sensor class, device and type. Typically it's the index from the table being walked or it could be the name of the OID if it's a single value.
  • $type = Required. This should be the OS name, i.e pulse.
  • $descr = Required. This is a descriptive value for the sensor. Some devices will provide names to use.
  • $divisor = Defaults to 1. This is used to divided the returned value.
  • $multiplier = Defaults to 1. This is used to multiply the returned value.
  • $low_limit = Defaults to null. Sets the low threshold limit for the sensor, used in alerting to report out range sensors.
  • $low_warn_limit = Defaults to null. Sets the low warning limit for the sensor, used in alerting to report near out of range sensors.
  • $warn_limit = Defaults to null. Sets the high warning limit for the sensor, used in alerting to report near out of range sensors.
  • $high_limit = Defaults to null. Sets the high limit for the sensor, used in alerting to report out range sensors.
  • $current = Defaults to null. Can be used to set the current value on discovery. Poller will update this on the next poll cycle anyway.
  • $poller_type = Defaults to snmp. Things like the unix-agent can set different values but for the most part this should be left as snmp.
  • $entPhysicalIndex = Defaults to null. Sets the entPhysicalIndex to be used to look up further hardware if available.
  • $entPhysicalIndex_measured = Defaults to null. Sets the type of entPhysicalIndex used, i.e ports.

For the majority of devices, this is all that's required to add support for a sensor. Polling is done based on the data gathered using discover_sensor(). If custom polling is needed then the file format is similar to discovery: includes/polling/sensors/$class/$os.inc.php. Whilst it's possible to perform additional snmp queries within polling this should be avoided where possible. The value for the OID is already available as $sensor_value.

Graphing is performed automatically for sensors, no custom graphing is required or supported.
