# Handoff: 2026-08-11 OAM Session Point a new Crush session at this file: `cat aug11.md` (or read it). It contains everything needed to pick up where this session left off. ## Quick Start (for the new session) 1. Follow normal session-start gate (AGENTS.md steps 1-4) 2. Set active ticket: `echo '#430' > .crush/active-ticket` 3. Read this file for full context 4. Check Redmine queue for latest status ## Session Summary Deployed the entire OAM monitoring stack on tsys-librenms (VM 104 on pfv-tsys1). All tools running as Docker containers. 4 of 5 tools are 100% operational. ## OAM Stack Status (tsys-librenms) | Tool | Port | Container | Status | Ticket | |------|------|-----------|--------|--------| | Smokeping | 8081 | oam-smokeping | DONE | #375 (90%) | | NetDisco | 8082 | oam-netdisco-{web,backend,db} | DONE | #337 (90%) | | Oxidized | 8083 | oam-oxidized | DONE (4/5 switches) | #436 (Cisco pending) | | UNPoller | 8084 | oam-unpoller | POLLING but needs Prometheus/Grafana | #430 | | Weathermap | LibreNMS | (plugin) | DONE | #375 (90%) | | phpIPAM | Cloudron | ipam.knownelement.com | 90% configured | #425 | Access: `VM_IP=tsys-librenms VM_USER=root bash tests/remote.sh vm ''` ## What's Done (don't re-do) - Smokeping: 16 targets, FPing every 5 min, fully operational - NetDisco: 4 Dell switches discovered, LLDP neighbors working (18 entries), web UI at :8082 - Oxidized: oxidized user created on 4 switches, configs backing up to KNEL/network-device-configs on Gitea, auto-push via SSH key - UNPoller: authenticated to UniFi controller (pfv-bms:8443, user: unpoller), Prometheus metrics on :8084 - Weathermap: LibreNMS plugin enabled, generating maps via cron (network.conf) - phpIPAM: PFV section with Server Room/EE Lab/Art Room sub-sections, 9 devices, 64 DHCP reservations imported, SNMP on 4 switches, scan agent configured - Switch locations standardized: PFV/Server-Room/R{n} format on all 4 switches - Switch DNS names fixed in LibreNMS (#424 closed) - LibreNMS poller cron fix verified (#423 closed) - Rules updated: remote.sh mandatory, DNS names only, command timeouts, questions-v(N) versioning ## What's Left (in priority order) ### 1. UNPoller → Prometheus/Grafana wiring (#430) - UNPoller is running and polling. Need to add scrape config to Prometheus (Cloudron) - BLOCKED: needs ~/.creds/prometheus.env and ~/.creds/grafana.env populated by user - Then build Grafana dashboard for UniFi - UNPoller v3.4.1 exports Prometheus metrics at http://tsys-librenms.knel.net:8084/metrics ### 2. LibreNMS alert transports (#338) - Configure Pushover as alert delivery in LibreNMS - BLOCKED: needs ~/.creds/pushover.env (PUSHOVER_TOKEN + PUSHOVER_USER) - **Pushover is the STANDARD alert transport for ALL OAM tools** (user directive): - Uptime Kuma: already using Pushover - LibreNMS: #338 (this ticket) - Beszel: #428 - Grafana: when wired via #430 ### 3. SNMP trap strategy (#429) - Decide: Dell OME owns server/iDRAC traps, LibreNMS owns network traps (recommended split) - Awaiting Dell OME deployment (#339) before implementing - Switches may need trap destination configured ### 4. TEMPer USB graphing (#341) - Deploy on pfv-tsys1 (Server Room) + stlpc-artroom (Art Room) - USB probe driver + RRD/LibreNMS integration - stlpc-garage (EE Lab) may also have a probe — verify with user ### 5. Monitoring coverage matrix (#343) - Governance doc mapping every tool to its domain (no overlap) - Write to Discourse, update ticket - Tool domains: Uptime Kuma=HTTP/service availability, Beszel=host metrics, LibreNMS=SNMP/network, Dell OME=Dell hardware, Smokeping=latency, NetDisco=L2 topology, Oxidized=config backup, phpIPAM=IP inventory, UNPoller=UniFi metrics ### 6. Uptime Kuma API + comprehensive monitors (#426/#435) - Enable API write access - Add monitors for all PFV/SITER + Cloudron services (HTTPS, DNS, DB, Docker, k8s) ### 7. Dell OpenManage Enterprise (#339) - USER DEPLOYING MANUALLY — has KVM image downloaded, will do qm import + VM creation - Agent role: post-deployment integration only (SNMP traps #429, coverage matrix #343) - Fleet is 100% Dell (documented in Discourse #304) ## Blocked Items (waiting on user or hardware) - #431: Cisco router fan replacement (physical, onsite) → blocks #432, #433, #434, #436 - #427: Credential management (Vault/RADIUS/Ansible Vault) → tomorrow's IAC track - #430: Prometheus/Grafana creds needed (~/.creds/prometheus.env + grafana.env EMPTY) - #338: Pushover API key needed (~/.creds/pushover.env NOT CREATED YET) - #426: Uptime Kuma API access needed (read works, write not enabled) - #425: phpIPAM scan agent — user may need to create from web UI and trigger first scan ## User Action Items (things only the user can do) 1. **Populate ~/.creds/pushover.env** — PUSHOVER_TOKEN + PUSHOVER_USER (unblocks #338, #428) 2. **Populate ~/.creds/prometheus.env + grafana.env** — Cloudron API keys (unblocks #430) 3. **Deploy Dell OME manually** — VM creation + qm import + OOB config (#339) 4. **Replace Cisco router fan** — physical onsite work (#431, blocks RackRental track) 5. **Create phpIPAM scan agent** — from web UI, trigger first discovery scan (#425) 6. **Enable Uptime Kuma API write access** — from web UI (#426) 7. **Run interactive netdisco-deploy** — DONE (user already did this) ## Important Technical Notes ### snmpd is NOT fleet-wide (user directive) snmpd will NOT be rolled out to Linux hosts. Beszel covers host metrics. SNMP (community: kn3lmgmt) is ONLY for network devices (switches, routers, PDUs). Do NOT add snmpd deployment to any ticket scope. ### Cloudron Tailscale routing Cloudron is on Tailscale. pfv-netinfra-01/02 are Tailscale subnet routers advertising 192.168.0.0/22. This means Cloudron-hosted services (phpIPAM, Prometheus, Grafana) CAN reach the LAN switches via Tailscale for SNMP discovery/scraping. ### NetDisco required interactive deploy The `netdisco-deploy` script requires a TTY (interactive yes/no prompts). The agent cannot run this through remote.sh. The user ran it manually. If NetDisco needs redeployment, the user must run this step. ### Weathermap PHP fix Weathermap plugin required `register_argc_argv = On` in /etc/php/8.4/fpm/php.ini on tsys-librenms. Already applied. If PHP gets updated, verify this setting persists. ### RackRental split-network design (Q6 answer in questions-v1.md) tsys6/7 have 4-6 ethernet ports. User wants: - 2 NICs for storage bond (keep existing bond0) - 1 NIC for mgmt (non-RackRental side) - 1 NIC trunked to RackRental VLAN 2 - RackRental router prevents network loops ### Location taxonomy - PFV/Server-Room/R{n} for server room gear by rack - PFV/EE-Lab for stlpc-garage - PFV/Art-Room for stlpc-artroom - Applied to all 4 switches via SNMP. Cisco pending fan fix (#431). - phpIPAM sections match this taxonomy. ### Ticket gate discussion User wants to discuss relaxing the ticket gate for handoff/continuation sessions. For now, use a "dummy" ticket (#430 as placeholder) but don't bypass the rules. This is an open discussion item — see questions-v1.md for future Q&A. ## Credential Files (in ~/.creds/) | File | Status | |------|--------| | redmine.env | OK | | discourse.env | OK | | phpipam.env | OK (app_code auth working) | | unifi-creds.env | OK (user: unpoller, polling working) | | oxidized.env | OK (password stored) | | switch-creds.env | Created, user to populate if needed | | pushover.env | NOT CREATED — needs PUSHOVER_TOKEN + PUSHOVER_USER | | prometheus.env | Created, EMPTY — user to populate | | grafana.env | Created, EMPTY — user to populate | ## Rules Changed This Session All committed and pushed to both PFVCluster and TSYSGroupAIOS (meta): 1. **remote.sh mandatory**: ALL SSH through chokepoint scripts, never direct ssh/scp 2. **DNS names only**: NEVER use IP literals in any command/script/config 3. **Command timeouts**: 30s reads, 120s standard, 300s deployments — every remote command wrapped in `timeout` 4. **questions-v(N) versioning**: increment filename each time answers land (v1→v2→v3) ## Key Commits This Session - `1f634a6` — questions versioning rule - `2806eab` — command timeout rule - `eea5495` — remote.sh + DNS-names-only rule - `1590923` — Oxidized fully operational - `acf880a` — Weathermap deployed - `7216eb5` — OAM stack initial deployment - `29b3989` — UNPoller image fix ## Key Gitea Repos - PFVCluster: `ssh://git@git.knownelement.com:29418/KNEL/PFVCluster.git` (main) - TSYSGroupAIOS (meta): `ssh://git@git.knownelement.com:29418/TSYSGroupCorporate/TSYSGroupAIOS.git` (master) - network-device-configs: `ssh://git@git.knownelement.com:29418/KNEL/network-device-configs.git` (master) — Oxidized backup target ## SNMP Community All Dell PowerConnect switches: `kn3lmgmt` (v2c) ## Switch Inventory | Switch | Model | Location | IP | Oxidized User | |--------|-------|----------|----|---------------| | pfv-r5-core-01 | Dell PowerConnect 5448 | PFV/Server-Room/R5 | 192.168.0.12 | oxidized (priv 1) | | pfv-r3-tor-mgmt-01 | Dell PowerConnect 5324 | PFV/Server-Room/R3 | 192.168.0.7 | oxidized (priv 1) | | pfv-r3-tor-stor-01 | Dell PowerConnect 5324 | PFV/Server-Room/R3 | 192.168.0.9 | oxidized (priv 1) | | pfv-r6-mgmt-01 | Dell PowerConnect 5324 | PFV/Server-Room/R6 | 192.168.0.8 | oxidized (priv 1) | | pfv-rrinfra-rtr | Cisco router | PFV/Server-Room/R2 (pending) | unknown | BLOCKED (#431 fan) | ## Tickets Created This Session | # | Subject | Status | |---|---------|--------| | 424 | LibreNMS switch DNS rename | CLOSED | | 425 | phpIPAM config | 90% | | 426 | Uptime Kuma API | New | | 427 | Credential management + IAC | New | | 428 | Beszel alert delivery (Pushover) | New | | 429 | SNMP trap strategy (LibreNMS vs Dell OME) | New | | 430 | UNPoller → Prometheus/Grafana | New | | 431 | Cisco router fan replacement | New | | 432 | RackRental VLAN 2 | New | | 433 | Trunk ports tsys6/7 for RackRental | New | | 434 | Cyclades PDU IP confirm | New | | 435 | Uptime Kuma comprehensive monitors | New | | 436 | Cisco router → Oxidized (after fan) | New | | 437 | Switch location standardization | 90% | ## Tickets Updated (not created) This Session | # | What we did | |---|-------------| | 314 | Parent umbrella for OAM alerts — updated children list | | 337 | LibreNMS integration modules — 90% done (Oxidized/NetDisco/UNPoller deployed) | | 339 | Dell OME — confirmed 100% Dell fleet, user deploying manually | | 375 | Monitoring expansion — smokeping done, weathermap done, snmpd removed from scope | | 406 | Beszel API — cross-referenced with OAM platform | | 425 | phpIPAM — revised from "deploy" to "configure existing Cloudron instance" | | 370 | Vault umbrella — clarified parent-child relationships | ## Tomorrow's Goal: IAC User wants to move to IAC (AWX/Ansible) tomorrow/Thursday night.
