Customizable interface look.

Directory of network and system resources

The directory contains the resources of your information system. Each of them has attached parameters that will be use by LoriotPro to monitor them.

The directory database is displayed as a hierarchical tree. It will be entirely up to you to organize the tree structure. LoriotPro organize it by network during the discover process.

A resource is a node or a leaf object in the tree. Nodes can be country, organization, organization unit, network, host and task (Plug-in)

The tree is dynamic, each node own a color status that is updated by the poller process.

You can have only one tree loaded, but you can save multiple tree structure in file and call them on demand.

The correlation of the status between father and child nodes is dynamic. The father has always the same status than its worst child status

Insert and export of directory branch is allowed.

Branch(es) and object(s) can be moved individually or by group with the Directory Organizer tool.

Settings (for example SNMP community) of a group of hosts can be change in bulk. (Bulk configuration tool)

Host Management

The host object is the “corner stone” of the LoriotPro Directory . This object is used every where in the software each time a SNMP request is performed.

The HOST terminology comes from the UNIX world and defines any physical entity, a workstation, a server, a router, a printer, that is connected to the network and has an IP address.

A LoriotPro Host has a unique IP address.

A router or a Multi-Homed server is considered as multiple hosts by LoriotPro. One host is available as an object of the directory for each physical or logical interface of the router having an IP address.

Each host as a set of properties:

A name (initially learned from DNS, Netbios, SNMP)
Its SNMP type (host, server, hub, switch ..)
One IP address
One IP address alias
Read SNMP community
Read/Write SNMP community
An icon type (assign by default but can be user define)
The SNMP UDP listen port
The host agent SNMP version (v1, v2c, v3)
The action of a mouse double click on the directory host object
3 user defined string that can be use by the search engine to locate the host.
The router or multi-homed system to which this host pertains (when applicable)
The permission flag that lets the discover process to use this host.
The polling interval.
The polling mode (IP ping or SNMP ping).
Polling script.
Unanswered polling threshold of the status 4 (red)
Unanswered polling threshold of the status 3 (yellow)
One maintenance period exclusion
Dynamic address resolution of DHCP-DDNS host.

IP Network topology discovering

At first startup, a LoriotPro wizard can help you to discover all the information system (IP resources) and populate the directory and the Maps.

The Wizard uses the LoriotPro system settings and two complementary programs, the Discover Process and the IP Scanner.

The Discover process

The Discover Process can run in background mode. The running interval is settable.

For each discovered host, a host name, the IP address, the IP mask, the MAC address, the SNMP capabilities are recorded in the Directory database.

Host name can be learned from SNMP (sysname), DNS or Netbios name.

Based on an advanced discover algorithm that uses IP ping and SNMP access. Settable discover limit in number of router hops (by default 5).

Trace Route Discover

The Trace Route Discover can discover network and host by performing an IP Trace Route (RFC 1393).

Host and network discover along the route can be added to the directory and Maps.

Connectivity and availability monitoring (polling)

Monitoring, the main role of LoriotPro is done by a polling process running in background. It is continuously checking the connectivity and the availability of the monitored IP hosts.

LoriotPro uses a high-performance, asynchronous poller. The polling is performed for each host at a defined rate that is independent of poll response times. LoriotPro poller achieves that by using two asynchronous threads: one that sends polls and one that receives polls. Because the send and receive threads operate asynchronously, slow response times or excessive timeouts do not affect the polling rate.

Five statuses are defined to display the level of connectivity.

Status 0 Purple Host is not in the polling list

Status 1 Blue Host is answering to ICMP Ping

Status 2 Green Host is answering to a SNMP request

Status 3 Yellow Host is temporary not responding

Status 4 Red Host is not longer answering

When the element fails to respond, it moves to the Yellow state. If the maximum failure retry count is exceeded before a successful ICMP poll occurs, the element moves to the red state.

The poller does not poll the element again until the next scheduled polling cycle.

An element stays in the Red state until it fails to respond to an ICMP/SNMP poll.

SNMP polling uses the mandatory MIB2 sysname object.

Polling can also be performed on a set of SNMP object defined in a script

Individual setting of the polling interval for each IP host

Update the directory tree and maps with current status

Conditional send of SYSLOG message on status changes.

Per host:

Configurable polling interval (By default 60 seconds, minimum 5 seconds)
Configurable red status threshold (unreachable host) (4 by default)
Configurable yellow status (temporary unreachable host)
One configurable maintenance operation for polling and event exclusion
Conditional polling based on a secondary host unreachable status (red).
Conditional polling based on a secondary host reachable status (blue or green).

Saving of the polling results in files (HTML or CSV) including round trip delay. These values are used for SLA reports.

Topology Map and Active View

InterNetwork Map and subMap

Graphical and hierarchical view and navigation of IP networks in bitmap mode

The InterNetwork Map provides real-time, visual state of IP connections, router and IP sub networks. If a router fails, an interface becomes unreachable, the administrator is instantly alerted by a visual representation of the status in red.

Sub map displays all IP hosts located in an IP sub network and their current status.

Statuses are update in real time by a background polling process.

Display IP networks and IP hosts with various icons helping you to identify what is the type of the device.

The background of the InterNetwork map can be customized with a static country map (in EMF format)

Moving of any elements of the map is a simple drag and drop, the saving of the element new position is automatic.

The status of a network icon in the interNetwork map reflects the worst host status located in this IP sub network.

Elements on the Map can be displayed with their IP address or by their directory name.

Search for a network element and for an area on the map can be realized from the search tool bar. The finding element is also selected in the directory tree.

Miniature Map (MiniMap)

The MiniMap displays a small view of the global Internetwork Map.

The MiniMap is dynamic, object colors reflect their current availability status.

A mouse click in the MiniMap pops up the InterNetwork Map and locates the selected object in it.

Directory Map

A directory Map displays one level of the directory as Map and icons.

The hierarchical navigation between maps follows the directory tree structure.

Directory Map object colors reflect their current availability status.

Active View

Active Views are graphic representation of infrastructures, networks, applications, logical schema or hardware devices.

Active Views are designed by you in editing mode, after creation Active Views are used in monitor mode.

Active View contains dynamic and static objects.

An Active View object is a single graphic element that could be as simple as a line, a rectangle or a circle but it can also be a complex clipart.

Colors of dynamic objects reflect a status or a level of one element of your network and system infrastructure.

The background color of a dynamic object can be linked to:

The availability status of a host
The value of a single SNMP object (for example the current cpu utilization)
The counter value of received Traps with a specific type
The counter value of received events with a specific type
The counter value of received Traps by a specific host
The counter value of received events by a specific host
The counter value of a matched event filter
The counter value of a matched Trap filter

Object of counter type displays a direct value.

For each dynamic object a set of filter rules can defined the object color and generate an event.

Collected values are compared with mathematical expressions:

Equal
Superior
Inferior
Different
Superior or equal
Inferior or equal
Contains character string

Set of rules can be saved as a profile and reused in any Active View.

Dynamic object are refresh at polling interval. The minimum polling interval frequency is 15 seconds.

Each Active View object can have its own contextual menu. Contextual menu are extremely modular and can be extend in edit mode.

The contextual menu options can :

call and display another ActiveView or a Plug-in

MIB management

MIB Database and MIB tree

MIB, management Information Base, are files containing the list of SNMP management objects dedicated to a specific technology or a product.

LoriotPro support all SMI v1 and V2 compliant MIB files. SMI standard defines the syntax and structure of a MIB file.

LoriotPro can compile Mib files and creates a structured internal database that is displayed as a tree, the MIB tree.

Everywhere in LoriotPro SNMP objects can be called by their short name (example: sysname) or composed name when duplicate object are defined (example: RFC1213-MIB:sysname )

Standard and proprietary MIB are supported.

A node name in the MIB tree can be composed of :

Object name only (example : sysname)
The Object number and the object name (example : (0005) sysname )
The MIB file name and the object name (example : RFC1213-MIB:sysname )
All information (example : (0005) RFC1213-MIB:sysname )

Duplicate name supported. Proprietary object name are sometimes duplicate. Duplicate names are detected at compilation time.

The MIB tree has two display modes, hidden and unhidden. In hidden mode branches an objects in the tree can be hidden from view. A simple view of commonly used objects can be defined to allow fast tree navigation.

Search based on object name can be performed in the tree or in a branch of the tree.

Object contextual menu provides access to functions and tools (Graphic, GET SNMP, Table display, object description...

SNMP walker

The SNMP walker function discovers what MIB files are supported by a host and which SNMP object are implemented.

The list of responding SNMP object is displayed as well as the list of MIB file where they are defined.

parameter: IP destination, Port Destination, Community, SNMP version, SET value type (Object_ID, Octet_String, Interger, IP, Counter, Hex_Octet_String, Gauge,TimeTick)

Include a SNMP protocol analyzer, with SNMP decode and hexa dump

Event and SNMP Trap management

Event management

Events are messages sent by LoriotPro to inform the network and system administrator of an anomaly or a modification in an operational environment.

The Events have a proprietary format.

They are created by LoriotPro and its various plug-in. it can be for example:

when a the value of an SNMP object rises a threshold
when the string value of an SNMP is equal to up or down
when a status of a directory object change.
When a process is started or stopped

Each event type has a unique number. New events can be defined at will.

Event are received in the Global Event Windows, a time sequential list of the last 10000 received events.

All received event are saved in flat log files (csv format) time stamped, one each 24 hours.

The log file can be browse with the event browser program. Search conditions can be specified when browsing event log file.

The search conditions available in the event log browser are:

Date range

Level (severity)

Event number

2 arbitrary strings located in the message with OR/AND expression

A database interface can be set (ODBC) to save the events in an SQL table. Query tool under LoriotPro console and Remote console are provided to perform later search in this table.

An event has the following fields :

Date and time
LoriotPro manager name that created the event
A unique event type number
The host name linked to this event
A description of the event

Each event can be sent with a level that can be use for example as a severity level.

There are ten possible levels. A level defines a different line color and icon in the Event list.

Event in the Event list can be acknowledged individually or by group

An acknowledged event is still visible in the event list but is grayed.

Event in the event list can be deleted individually or by group

A deleted event is not longer visible in the event list. However, it is never deleted from the event log file.

A mouse double click on an event pops up a window with details.

Each event type (number) has a counter. This counter memorizes the number of event of this type received since Loriotpro startup.

The repetitive events can be hidden from the event list. The counter of displayed event of a specific type can be reset.

A window display the current counter values:

Counter of events received for each event type (number)
Counter of events displayed in the event list for each event number
Counter of events hidden from the event list for each event number
Counter of events submitted to a filter
Counter of events that match a filter
Counter of events that match a filter since the last counter reset

Events can be filtered and trigger action(s).

A single filter can trigger multiple actions.

Filters are defined in a list, on event reception, all matched filters trigger subsequent action(s).

Filter are manually created or by using a wizard. Any received event can be used by the wizard to define a filter in few mouse clicks.

A filter can be set on :

IP address ( a host)
IP address mask (a network selection)
A first character string in the message description field
A second character string in the message description field
A logical OR/AND between those two strings

Filter can trigger action of type:

Play sound (wave file format)
Run Windows program
Run DOS program
Send Syslog message (RFC 3164)
Route to custom window
no action
route to another LoriotPro
send E-mail

Command line parameters can be provided to program :

IP address of the LoriotPro manager that created this event
host name in the directory
IP address
Event level (severity)
date and time
message description

Each filter has an associated counter of the events that have matched.

The counter can be used to specify the action conditions, action is performed:

each time that the filter is matched
the first time that the filter is matched
only the n time that the filter is matched
after n times that the filter is matched and for all subsequent match
when the filter is matched n times over a defined period
every n times that the filter is matched

Trap (SNMP v1) et Notification (SNMP v2c) management

SNMP Trap or Notification in SNMP version 2 are messages sent by SNMP agents installed in the monitored devices (routers, server, workstation, printer …) to inform the management console of a software anomaly, a hardware failure, a rising threshold.

LoriotPro has a Trap receiver (a server listening on UDP port 162) allowing him to receive any SNMP v1 Trap or SNMP V2c Notification.

We will use the term Trap indifferently for Trap and Inform.

A trap is identified by it SNMP OID (OID – Object IDentifier). When the MIB file with the Trap object is present on LoriotPro (compiled) the incoming Trap is fully decoded.

Incoming Traps are displayed in table list in a dedicated window. The top of the list contains the more recent Traps. The list is limited in length.

All received Traps are saved in flat log files (csv format) time stamped, one each 24 hours.

A Trap in the Traps manager list has the following fields:

receive date and time ,
name and IP address of the host that has sent this Trap,
the Trap Object ID (SNMP OID) in text format when MIB installed else in numerical format
the Trap Type (Authentication, LinkUp, LinkDown, Enterprise, V2c, V3 …)
the Trap specific number when it’s an « Enterprise » Trap
the 10 optional description field of the Trap (defined in the MIB)
A unique number that identify this Trap in LoriotPro

Traps in the Trap list can be acknowledged individually or by group

An acknowledged Trap is still visible in the event list but is grayed.

Event in the event list can be deleted individually or by group

A deleted Trap is not longer visible in the Trap list. However, it is never deleted from the Trap log file.

A mouse double click on a Trap pops up a new window with all trap fields.

Each Trap type (number) has a counter. This counter memorizes the number of Traps of this type received since Loriotpro startup.

A list of Trap counters allow you to see :

The Trap reference and its SNMP OID in text format (when MIB installed)
The total number of received Traps in the Trap manager
The total number of trap filters matched and actions performed since the last counter reset
The description of the action

Traps can be filtered and trigger action(s).

A single Trap filter can trigger multiple actions.

Filters are defined in a list. On Trap reception, all matched filters from the list, trigger subsequent actions.

Filter are manually created or by using a wizard. Any received traps can be used by the wizard to define a filter in few mouse clicks.

A Trap filter can be set on :

Trap/Notification type (Standard V1, ENterprise V1, Notification V2c et V3),
Trap name (pour les Notifications V2c et V3 et les Trap Enterprise V1),
Trap number (uniquement pour les Trap Enterprise V1),
IP address ( a host)
IP address mask (a network selection)
SNMP community
character strings located anywhere in the 10 optional Trap fields

A Trap can be forwarded as an Event to LoriotPro with settable options:

the event number
message text
event level

Trap Filter can trigger action of type:

Play sound (wave file)
Run Windows program
Run DOS program
Send Syslog message (RFC 3164)
send E-mail
Forward as an Event to any LoriotPro
Re-routed as a Trap to another SNMP Manager

Command line parameters can be provided to program :

Trap reference
Trap name
IP address of the LoriotPro manager that created this event
host name in the directory
IP address Date and time at which the host sent the Trap
Date and Time at which LoriotPro received the trap
Proxy name
Proxy IP address
The 10 Trap optional fields (description message)

Each filter has an associated counter of the Traps filter that has matched.

The counter can be used to specify the action conditions, action can be performed:

each time that the filter is matched
the first time that the filter is matched
only the n time that the filter is matched
after n times that the filter is matched and for all subsequent match
when the filter is matched n times over a defined period
every n times that the filter is matched

Trap simulator

The Trap Simulator creates fake Traps and sends it to LoriotPro itself or to another Trap server. The Trap Simulator is very useful for checking that Trap filters are well set and correctly trigger their actions.

Standard V1 Trap (ColdStart, WarmStart, LinkDown, LinkUp, Authentication Failure) can be sent in few mouse clicks

All Traps ( V1 Enterprise or V2 notification) are listed in a window and can be selected and sent.

The source IP address of the Trap is simulated.

The SNMP community of the Trap is simulated

The 10 optional fields of the Trap can be forged individually.

Reporting

Reporting tools displays SNMP collected data into user friendly reports

LoriotPro uses standard HTML format for report creation and layout.

A reporting module produces report on schedule.

Full sets of predefined reports to be retrieve and displays immediately.

A MIB to report file converter creates detailed reports in few seconds

A powerful html tag based scripting language give you the possibility to develop your own reports and customize them for your SNMP devices.

Reports are accessible on the LoriotPro console and on the LoriotPro WEB remote console.

By setting user access rights on reports you define who have access to reports from the LoriotPro WEB remote console.

WEB Remote Access

The WEB Remote Access allows a remote user to access the LoriotPro console from a standard WEB navigator.

Like on the Windows console the Host status (object colors) are dynamic. However the update of the status is slower than on the console.

Remote users are limited to visualization they cannot configure or change the LoriotPro’s settings. They cannot perform any management tasks on SNMP host.

The WEB interface gives a read only access to :

The directory tree
The event log files
The trap log files
The Internetwork Map
The SQL Database (require PHP support)
Most of the plug-in attached to hosts
Active View
Trend View
Interface load (MRTG graph)

The Database access allows queries on the host table, network table, event table and Netflow table.

Remote access can be secured by host or user.

The host access control is realized on the IP address of the host

The User access control is realized on an internal user database.

Each user define in the database has an access level. Each object in the directory has also an access level. If a user has a higher access level than an object of the directory tree he can see it and use it.

Access to Map, event log and trap log are also controlled.

Interface with DataBase

LoriotPro provides an interface with SQL/ODBC database

LoriotPro is able to save in SQL table the following information:

Events
hosts registered in the directory (by a manual import)
network registered in the directory (by a manual import)
Cisco Netflow information collected by the Netflow Collector plug-in

A query tool (Windows interface) with sorting options is provided to perform query on this database.

Access to the Database from the LoriotPro WEB remote console is available. The Remote access requires the support of PHP4 scripting language.

A query Tool (WEB interface) is provided to perform query on the Database.

Sorting options are available on the Netflow Query interface.
