In the last post I used a webhook to notify a listener to run a remediation script.
In this post I’ll document how to configure the listener.
IP Fabric network discovery can collect the network state. Release 3.7.0 introduced webhooks.
Let’s see how webhooks can be used for automated remediation.
During Cisco Live this year I had a chance to stop by IP Fabric booth and exchange a quick chat about their product and the problem they’re trying to solve.
AKIPS network monitoring.
My home network is connected to the Internet via radio bridge. The reason is ADSL services were not available a couple of years ago, now it is but since the radio bridge is cheap and works (most of the time) I really don’t care to change.
Some time ago I started to notice downtime of the Internet connection, I sent a few emails to the wisp but the answer was always the same: “we don’t see a problem right now”.
On a customer’s network we noticed that the Internet facing router reboots because of a software error. We stumbled on this issue by chance, just because one of the reboots was during a videoconference. Nobody noticed the problem before and they really don’t know if the problem was there since the installation of the router a couple of years ago. They have Nagios running to monitor the network, so I’ve configured it to monitor the router uptime too.
