It’s possible to get a little more information on a device by using this trick. This is mostly for debugging purposes. It tells you information on rancid and smokeping.

Open up a tab (ie ports) on the device; replace “ports” by “showtech” in the URL – check the smokeping section.
So change a URL from this: https://observium/device/device=1/tab=ports/
To this: https://observium/device/device=1/tab=showtech/
So I had the need to monitor latency with Radius.
I added the necessary text into the Probe section and restarted Smokeping to see an error.

Just do apt-get install libauthen-radius-perl
There is also libnet-dns-perl, libnet-ldap-perl, and libnet-telnet-perl. These are useful for the other probe types.
