CoreBit – Network topology & monitoring tool inspired by “The Dude”

The NS probe is already there, under probes.

In latest version it has been updated to be more intuitive.

Latest version of CoreBit has many new functions, please check the changelog on our new website https://corebit.network

Here are some highlights:

Charts can now be zoomed on, to see details.

Redfish BMC devices are now supported in full.
Revamped the network scanner to be more intuitive.
New "Attention" level for metrics and vitals.
Per-volume disk monitoring.
CoreBot can now pull logs from Mikrotik devices to help diagnose outages.
New "Test now" button for probe monitoring.
Click a device's icon on the map to open its full details window directly.
Incidents now track devices status live for all involved devices.

The Incidents list now shows live status dots for each incident's affected devices.

Nice tool. I actually would like to see an OSPF monitoring, e. g. warning you about duplicate IP adresses or RouterIDs

I found it, yes, after an update.

Any chance that we can enter a specific request for the probe? querying a specific host FQDN for example? That would help checking that the DNSSEC is updated :}

Next release will have a DNSSEC probe

New release available with many new features:

  • The Box element now support images as background, so it is possible to place several images in a map, and place devices on top.

  • Devices can now be displayed as 3 different sizes. (Default, Compact and Minimal). Devices will expand to default size when hovered.

  • There is now an editor for device types, and device icons, and any device can have a custom icon, overriding the type.

  • New Unifi credentials profile for monitoring Unifi controllers, and it's network devices.

  • New DNSSEC probe. Attach it to a device to check that a name's DNSSEC is valid and up to date:

  • CoreBit now also exists as a Homeassistant app for the Homelab. It comes with integrated database, so it is not designed for many hundreds of nodes, with long retention.

Installation guide is here: GitHub - cis2131/corebit-hass-addons: CoreBit — Home Assistant add-on repository (Hobby/Homelab). Add this repo URL in HA → Add-on Store → Repositories. · GitHub

Latest CoreBit Companion is out.

It now supports split views, and web panels.

It is also possible to duplicate tabs, and move tabs into a split view.
Activated from right clicking a tab.

Mac, windows and Linux versions can be downloaded from the website (https://corebit.network).

Nice one. Just tested it. Excellent :slight_smile:

Another question:
Is it possible to define a logical "service" consisting of multiple routers/interfaces, for example:

Internet Access Service

  • 2 MikroTik routers
  • Default route provided via a VRRP VIP
  • Both routers are monitored individually
  • Internet/upstream reachability is monitored as part of the service

The desired status logic would be something like this:

  • The VRRP BACKUP router is shown in orange if it is online/connected, since it is healthy but not currently forwarding traffic.
  • The VRRP MASTER router/interface is shown in green if it is active and the upstream/default route is working.
  • The overall Internet Access Service is shown in green as long as the active VRRP path has working Internet connectivity.
  • If the MASTER changes due to a VRRP failover, the service status should remain green, assuming the new MASTER has working upstream connectivity.
  • A notification is sent out when the master changes.

In other words, I’m looking for a way to represent the health of the logical HA service, rather than treating both routers independently.

Is something like this currently possible, or would it require custom dependencies/status logic?

Looks good.

When will update be on docker?

Thank you

Latest build is already in docker

Thanks,

I got confused as you announced the new version after I was already running it. Not enough coffee evidently....

New update is out, with one of the biggest non visual feature yet.

CoreBit can now be installed as an agent on a remote server, and do all the same functions at the main server.

Agent works by connecting to the CoreBit server, so no direct access to the agent is needed.
The agent can scan the remote network, and do same monitoring as CoreBit main server. CoreBot and AI Assistant can also work from the remote agent.

Please note that this has been a lot of work, and many things has been changed to support this, so if you experience any issues with it, please contact me.
