Hi, I'm monitoring some specific parameters like busy, active, receiving and transmitting time from iw survey; number of connected users from iw station, etc. I'm running a script on routers using snmpd to get the data and cacti to receive it. I didn't use mini-snmpd because i couldn't find a way to execute scripts in the routers, the exec command in mini-snmpd.conf didn't work for me as it works in snmpd.

Now reading this thread i don't know if I'm using a good approach. First I'm not sure if it's possible or not to run scripts from mini-snmd, but on the other hand, i don't know if there's already some mini-snmpd features that allow to monitor the stuff mentioned without the need of scripts. I'd appreciate some help on this.

By the way, it would be great to monitor also signal and noise, maybe an alternative to /proc/net/wireless could be the noise from survey dump and the signal from station dump for each station? Anyway, I'm not sure how accurate are these noise and signal measurements, i've read some threads in ath9k lists regarding this topic:

Thank you very much for this feedback Jow. Can you please recommend the current alternatives for accessing wireless signal and noise data (from such as Mini SNMP Daemon)?
