    LON-SNMP Gateway

    Hi,

    I would be interested to hear if the i.LON SmartServer can be used as a LON-SNMP Gateway? Perhaps someone has made or knows how to make a FPM for this?

    Re: LON-SNMP Gateway

     Hello Sven,

    The FPM is oriented towards data point and file management.  It can also be used to build interface drivers that do not use TCP/IP.

    SNMP support on an iLON makes a lot of sense to me also.  Out-of-the Box tools for Uptime monitoring could easily come into play then. 

     If a reasonable feature set were proposed and we could prove that it would lead to additional sales - then I could see the feature being added to the next release.

     Perhaps the following features might make sense:

    1. CPU Load
    2. Uptime
    3. Memory Usage
    4. Ethernet Traffic
    5. LON traffic
    6.  (Devices online/offline)
    7. ???

    I would think that this tool would be more IT-specific.  No need to collect acutal temperatures or device datapoints.  Just Uptime/network status/iLON health datapoints. 

    Any other thoughs out there?

    Hi Richard!

    Thanks for your reply! I was actually thinking about collecting device datapoints (like temperatures) as well.
