opCharts/NMIS integration
NMIS integration enables the resolution of Interface indexes to Interface Names. The association to an NMIS node enables opFlow to look up the interface indexes which the traffic is flowing to and from. Note the agents are a list of the IP addresses from which flows are received. The System -> Manage Agents function enables you to associate that agent IP with an actual node in NMIS. Associating to an NMIS node enables opFlow to look up the interface indexes which the traffic is flowing to and from. You MUST tell opFlow which IP address is which Node Name for this process to work
Linking with opCharts/NMIS can be done in two waysto an NMIS instance on the same server (Local) or can integrate to a remote instance of opCharts. The server (local or remote) must not be a master instance it must be a normal poller/slave instance.
Local NMIS integration
If the config setting 'opflow_opcharts_url_base' is left blank, opFlow will attempt to load node information from a local NMIS server found at 'nmis_dir' => '/usr/local/nmis8'
