Dashboard Service

The service module Statistic Dashboard of Loriotpro controls the "internal servers" that receive SNMP TRAP, SYSLOG messages and events. Moreover, the active monitoring generates bidirectional flow with SNMP devices monitored, the DashBoard evaluates volumes and frequencies .

SNMP syslog trap dashboard



The problems of alarm processing in real time. LoriotPro is in charge of monitoring networks that can count hundreds of systems and equipment. Each of these systems can send to Loriotpro substantial flow of information in the form of alarms or notifications. Loriotpro must cope with these incoming flow and store them without loss of information .

The flow received by the internal servers LoriotPro (TRAP,SYSLOG,EVENT) are displayed in real time in the window of their corresponding type, are stored in log files are analyzed for filtering and action.

Since the release- bs Version 5 of LoriotPro, a more efficient way of managing caches / receive buffer for different incoming flow was implemented. Module "Statistic Dashboard" service allows to control the performance of the incoming cache buffers.

Note that we will use for simplicity only the term " cache " and not buffer , it has the dual objective of improving the speed of acquisition and temporary storage (buffer ) to avoid flow losses .

The inflow ( alarms / notifications) following can be distinguished:

  1. The flow of events (Event ) These are flow proprietary format Loriotpro mainly from Loriotpro itself or remote Loriotpro in a distributed architecture of several Loriotpro .
  2. Flows SNMP TRAP . Flows SNMP (RFC ) TRAP are sent by the equipment and systems that have been configured with an SNMP agent active and directs them to the TRAP LoriotPro console.
  3. SYSLOG streams . Flows SYSLOG message (RFC 3164) are sent by the equipment and systems that have been configured with a redirect their flow to the LoriotPro console.

The three receiving servers" daemon " EVENT , TRAP , SYSLOG , each have a cache of 10000 packets in addition to a cache of physical 5Mbytes . These caches have been implemented to meet critical environments with consequent flow or with hundreds of devices.

Technical Developer Note : The main problem in the Microsoft event management for Loriotpro is time to display events in different windows list type " listbox " GUI . It is not possible to display real-time events in the listbox beyond fifty new lines per second , the Listbox used in this workspace that does not support virtual mode. In case the update real time of these windows is no longer possible, the backup log files remains fully operational.

This Plugin is loaded by default when LoriotPro starts. If you want to unload it, use the Delete Service option of the Service Tab contextual menu.
