techni-metrics-collector

This project collects metrics from a Telstra Technicolor gateway (DJA0231) including

• wan/lan interface metrics
• dls status, including line rates, SnR, power, attentuation.

This will only work on a gateway which has ssh enabled.

This has been developed to run on a raspberry pi, however there's no reason why this couldn't be built for x86.

Docker

Development has been done using docker to facilitate a standard environment.

Building the docker image

The docker image can be built in the following way:

make build

You'll want to build the image when you have finished development, or if you make any changes to the Dockerfile including python dependencies

Testing the script

During development it is time consuming to build a new container, so you can simply mount the script into the existing container for testing. The python script can be tested in the following way:

make test

Linting the script

During development you can run flake8 on the script:

make flake8

Running the script

Once you have finished development, build the docker image, and run it using:

make run

Configuration

The container requires both a configuration file to be present, and also an ssh username/password which gives access to the root user on your gateway.

config/config.yaml

Here we define the following:

• InfluxDb: Your InfluxDB endpoint and db
• Gateway: The ip/hostname and user credentials of your gateway switch
