This is the homepage of Unnoc.
Latest release is 1.0.10.2 (released Aug 19 2007): The homepage is coming along, although it is not done yet. I will add HTML documentation and add much more information very soon. Help Wanted! Unnoc needs a documentation overhaul. The documentation is decent, however it needs to be organized and a FAQ needs to be added as well. If you think you can help out with this in any way, please drop me a line! Unnoc is a NOC network monitoring application that is designed to integrate traffic graphs (RRDTool) with SNMP host checking, monitoring and graphing. It uses native SNMP to monitor servers, Wireless Access Points, UPS's, routers, firewalls, network switches--anything SNMP-enabled, and will send out pages and email alerts if something is wrong.
Monitoring for Linux/UNIX and Microsoft® Servers/Workstations:
Process monitoring
CPU Load / Load Average
Memory Usage
Disk Usage
Disk I/O Counters
Network Interface traffic
Completely integrated with RRD for all graphs
Configurable Email alerts for all devices monitored
Uptime monitor plugin, displays the mean/min/max time of all uptimes
Throughput display for any device that can monitor SNMP interfaces
Flexible and completely customizeable configuration
Application specific plugins for:
VMware Virtual Infrastructure 3 (ESX and VirtualCenter)
Barracuda SPAM Firewalls
Cisco Aironets
Apple Airports
APC Smart-UPSs (single and 3 phase units)
Network Appliance Filers
EM01 Websensor Environment Monitor
OpenLDAP
PostgreSQL
MySQL
Screenshots of all of these features are below. As of 1.0.6 MRTG is completely phased out and Unnoc is completely integrated with RRD. Demo Site Please see the demo available hosted here. Also, I've made available the index.php and unnoc.conf that are associated with the demo site
http://unnoc.org/demo
Demo index.php: index.php The demo is a snapshot of an actual Unnoc install. New Plugins OpenLDAP, PostgreSQL, MySQL
New to 1.0.8, three application specific plugins have been added, they are:
- OpenLDAP (tested against 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3)
- MySQL (tested against 4.x and 5.x) - PostgreSQL (tested against 7.4.x, 8.x) Monitoring and graphing is available for each of the plugins
VMware Virtual Infrastructure 3 Added in 1.0.7, VMware Virtual Infrastructure 3 has been added. This means you can graph ESX utilization as well as track all of your Virtual MAchines. It currently graphs the following:

- ESX Memory Usage This plugin is one of the exceptions: it does not use SNMP. Instead, the VI Perl Toolkit was used, which uses the SDK provided by VMware: http://sourceforge.net/projects/viperltoolkit/ Why not SNMP for VMware ESX / VI3?
VMware does actually provide a MIB available with ESX, and it does display much information about all of the VM's and
the ESX server itself.
There were a few problems with it, for one the information wasn't updated in real time (it seemed to be caching quite a
bit of data), which presented its own problems. But the main issue at hand was that
not all information was available through SNMP.
Specifically, CPU usage and CPU Mhz wasnt available. They do provide a cpuUtil counter, however that is milliseconds used
by each VM, and given that value you could calculate a percentage of Real CPU based on the amount of time passed in between
each read. However this did not prove to be 100% accurate, and I would get very large spikes every now and then. CPU Mhz
wasn't available either, so you can not tell how many cycles are available total.
Another reason is the counters that were provided for disk I/O and ethernet were not always 100% accurate. They would often
times just mimic each other. I'm not sure why it didn't work like it was supposed to, but it didn't.
So instead, the plugin was written with the VI Perl Toolkit. This is better for a few reasons, not only because it gives you access to the exact same information as the VI3 client or the MUI has, but more importantly it allows you to connect to a VirtualCenter server and read all of the information from there. VI3 is designed to be used with a VCMS server, so it only makes sense to connect to it for all information. If you do not use a VCMS server, it will still work just the same with an ESX standalone server. Currently it is monitoring CPU Usage, Memory, Disk I/O, and Ethernet Traffic. In the future there will be Resource Pools as well. Barracuda SPAM Firewall
Click here to see a working demo of the Barracuda Plugin.
The Barracuda SPAM Firewall plugin uses the stats.cgi available on the Barracuda. It also provides an SNMP interface, however it does not have any special MIBs; in fact, it only supports the External MIB's available to net-snmp, and there are only three of them. So instead it was implemented to read the XML available on stats.cgi. This information is the same information that you see on the Barracuda Admin page. It will graph all things available there.
The tarball is below. Latest release is 1.0.10.2 (released Aug 19 2007): unnoc-1.0.10.2.tar.gz d938499f098d45d72a1ccb83fa6fd740 Changelog: Changelog, Release Notes: WHATSNEW As an alternate to the unnoc.org VM appliance, you can also download Timo Sugliani's Unnoc appliance from the following link:
The alternate VM appliance is running the SVN head as of 11/18/2007.
See the README.vmware-appliance document for configuration and installation instructions If you are already using any version of VMware, then you can download the Unnoc VMware appliance to try it out to see if you like it. It is already installed and ready to go, just simply make a new VM as Linux 2.6 Other and start it up. The VMware VMDK is available for download below. Debian Etch is installed from Feb 01 2007, it currently has Apache 2.2, Mysql 5, PHP 4, and RRDTool 1.2.15 installed. VMware Tools are not installed.
VMDK Installation / Use The VMDK was initially made with VMware Workstation 5.5.2, however it should work with any number of VMware products. This is a VMDK file, meaning it is a VMware disk. To add it, you need to create a Custom VM using this disk as the root disk. For VMware Workstation, use the following set of instructions (may vary from version to version and platform to platform):
1. Add a "Custom" VM, choose "New - Workstation 5"
2. Use "Linux, Other 2.6.x Linux" 3. Go through Processor and Memory choices, 4. Choose SCSI, LSI Logic adapter 5. Use an existing virtual disk 6. choose "unnoc-1.0.10.1.vmdk" Once that is complete, you can use your new Virtual Machine.
For ESX 3.0.x, you will need to clone the disk first (because it is not in the ESX format), do this by typing the following command (from the ESX console):
vmkfstools -i /path/to/unnoc-1.0.10.1.vmdk new-filename.vmdk
For problems, questions, bugs and feature requests, please see the sourceforge project page or the mailing list:
Unnoc-support mailing list Documentation - Here is a link to the documentation that is provided with the package. Hopefully by the next release all of the documentation will be in HTML on this site, for now it is all text files packaged with the release.

The latest plugin supports VMware's Virtual Infrastructure 3 (VI3). It supports both standalone ESX servers as well VirtualCenter VCMS servers. It will use RRDTool to graph the CPU and Memory usage of all of the Virtual Machines, as well as graph the Disk/CPU/Memory usage of each of the VMware servers themselves. VMware Virtual Infrastructure 3 screenshots Below are some screenshots from a few VI3 servers.
Barracuda SPAM Firewall screenshots Below are some screenshots from a Barracuda SPAM Firewall
Linux/UNIX/Windows Screenshots Unnoc will also monitor disk usage, process and load averages of any server that is SNMP enabled and it will write that to a sql db, which can be retrieved via php calls, If anything is wrong with the server, then unnoc will send out alerts and pages (like if a process goes down, or a disk gets too full). Server Screenshots:
Unnoc is now integrated with RRDTool and will graph each load average, each disk used and each process, and will display 4 graphs each: daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly (very similar to MRTG output). Graphs are basic and pretty primitive, but it's a step in the right direction.

It is similar to Nagios and Big Brother except it only requires SNMP to be run on the host, instead of some other binary. And the interface is completely configurable, the look and feel is all php, so it can be made to look like anything. I think it's quite a bit simpler than either of the other two projects, however the other two are quite a bit more mature in their development cycle. Also many other projects are not using RRDTool, instead of RRD they are using MRTG or other graphers. RRDTool is the most flexible graphing utility and can do all sorts of customizeable features. Unnoc is written in a combination of php and perl. It currently works for *NIX systems (tested on Linux only). It has not been tested on Windows yet, although I don't see why it wouldn't work. It is still in heavy active development as well, and I'm willing to fix any bugs that come up. And I love feature requestes as well, so if any of you have any ideas out there, please post them in the feature requests tracker on sourceforge or just shoot me an email. Contributers Developers needed! Here is the current TODO list for Unnoc. if you would like to contribute in any way, please let me know. There's a lot of work to do to make it to where I want it to be, PHP/Perl developers are definitely needed.
