snmp_exporter VS MagicMirror

It is kind of described here:https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter/issues/405

The SNMP exporter can do lookups. Take a look at this documentation.

wget https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter/releases/download/v0.21.0/snmp_exporter-0.21.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz

You need to find the OSBs for the router, and add those to the explorer. Take a look at this doc: https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter/blob/main/generator/README.md

You can fetch this metrics using the SNMP exporter https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter

As a maintainer of the Prometheus SNMP exporter, and the defacto standard implementation of SNMP in Go, I can tell you exactly how convoluted SNMP is at a protocol and specification level.

Refer to https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter and https://blog.paessler.com/how-to-enable-snmp-on-your-operating-system

For example, you can use unpoller to bring your unifi stuff into the same system as your SNMP data.

SNMP by itself is a rather crude protocol, with values being identified as OID (Object IDs). Those are numerical identifiers. A MIB-File contains the information on how to translate these OIDs into workable data. There is some information on how to feed these files to the exporter located here: https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter/tree/main/generator

I use MagicMirror to do this. It's a great piece of software. I'm a bit shocked nobody has mentioned this yet. https://magicmirror.builders/

The most used solution it’s https://magicmirror.builders/

I’m planning on using MagicMirror (https://magicmirror.builders/) to do this in my kitchen but without the mirror part (just a TV mounted in a niche on the wall). Did you build your software from scratch?

Check out Magic Mirror. Could be what you're looking for. https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror

Would this work with magic mirror?

https://magicmirror.builders/

If so I will order right away

Have a look at the Magic Mirror project https://magicmirror.builders/

You could also look into something like MagicMirror. not sure if you have a server to host, or looking for just local on iPad.

The final option seems to be basically homebrewing a solution using a program like MagicMirror and local image files installed on the pi. There quite a few guides out there on different ways to do this. But

You can still participate in distributed computing projects, just check out Science United which is one that uses BOINC for the project management. I've got it running on my Raspberry Pi (which primarily runs Magic Mirror so its nice to let somebody else get some benefit since its primarily a relatively static display). Also, Folding@Home did do some of the research into COVID, so it is staying up to date.
