BETA Information

UPDATE: the beta phase for MAMAS has ended, early adopter release is coming close.

The product that you are about to explore is in a beta phase. This means:

• the product itself is not 100% complete. This is a beta4 phase, growing into first MAMAS release - the 0.6
• main functionality tested, the product is ready to see production usage though that is yet to come.
• the product UI is drafted for admin usage with basic in-line help only.

The beta phase serves a few purposes:

• Show product that is slowly being stabilized to a limited audience.
• Gather feedback regarding market usability.
• Confirm further development priorities.
• Open space for discussion with interested parties.

Some basic instructions for using the product:

MAMAS

MAMAS is a

• Monitoring
• Alerting
• Management
• Automation
• System

• MAMAS fully supports only Advantech v2, v3 and v4 routers at the moment. You should have reasonably recent firmware. (6.1.10+ is perfect)
• The UM could be downloaded through System menu item. Check the URL is matching your server URL (the one you seen in browser).
• The UM webUI in the router allows basic agent operation and configuration together with logs and a possibility to expedite server contact.
• The agent registers on the server during first contact and sends real data only in second contact (by default roughly 5 minutes after first one).
• If you want to see the alerts on your Slack client, you need to create your Slac channel and paste the connection information (Slack token and channel name) under System->settings.
• There is also some support for MAMAS universal Linux agent. You can run it on basically any Linux box, provided it has bach and curl ready. See README for notes on this
• In addition, experimental version of OpenWRT agent is provided. It differs from the Linux agent by shell being used (no bash on OpenWRT). See README, make sure you install curl package on the OpenWRT machine.
• The webtunnel functionality is supported only for Advantech devices, though it might work with other agents.

Key elements shown in the MAMAS Beta

• Routers (and to a limited extend also Linux boxes) reporting to mngmt. server. Reported data are visible on the details page.
• Monitoring groups (each mon. group gathers the same data as the 'all' group that is shown on the dashboard).
• Alerting - alerts can be set on individual devices or a number of devices in a group. Alerts are delivered via Slack.
• Statistics - some metrics are processed into graphical statistics, showing past values of the metrics so that you can see any trends/changes.
• (Advantech routers only) Firmware management - every router FW detected on any device is automatically downloaded. Admin can approve (or disprove) FW version for device settings and set FW version preferred for individual devices. NOTE that the agent FW upgrade is disabled on the device at the moment so the router will NOT perform flashing.
• Configuration cloning - one device can be set to clone configuration of another device. All customized configuration values (changes done on top of the FW defaults) from the master device will be copied to the tracking device. NOTE that FW version is not counted among configuration values.
• Webtunnels - ability to access the router web interface through MAMAS server.
• In-line help - the basic topics have a description text assigned. You can reach it via the question mark icon or via Help submenu.
• License management - your instance has a limited number of devices. Please do not reach this limit as once you do, the system starts misbehaving from user point of view.

Please follow to your MAMAS Beta deployment instance (NOTE: each instance has different credentials: choose the instance you were given credentials to)

• Blue instance
• Red instance
• Green instance
• White instance
