Hello colleagues, I have a customer who needs to remotely monitor Datacenters through a Cloud. We introduce them to Proficloud and now they are pretty interested. However, in order to take the info to the cloud, I must read each device in the Datacenter via SNMP and concentrate it in a PLCNext to later take it to Proficloud.
Is it possible to use PLCNext as SNMP-Proficloud gateway? Maybe through Linux, NodeRed and OPCUA, there is a way to concentrate the variables of the MIB of each device in the datacenter… ¿what do you think? Thanks for your help, Greetings, Iván
Hi Ivan. Your idea of using Linux, NodeRed and OPC UA is ok, but the “code” you are developing is editable for erveryone and you have a lot of technologies on board (Opc UA, nodejs and there modules, process manager for starting the application and so on). On the second you need to protect your code against unauthorized access. So i would recomment to build up a PLCnext User Component in c++. There are several libs you can use to get your snmp data from the devices. The advantage of builing a PLCnext User Component is, that you can use all the build in functions of PLCnext Technology and you can process all data in the technology context of PLCnext itself without transfering it via Opc Ua. In addidition you do not have to install additional runtimes or software. More less dependencies more less errors. Greetings Peer
