What DumbMonit watches

A TP-Link Omada controller through its OpenAPI: access points, switches and gateways that lost the controller, devices waiting to be adopted, devices whose CPU or memory is saturated, firmware updates the controller offers, and the number of clients per site. This integration is written from TP-Link's Omada OpenAPI documentation and has not been tested on a real controller. Every call is a read (apart from the login that obtains the access token). Tell us what breaks.

Typical use. Beta. Omada controller: devices disconnected or pending, CPU and memory, firmware updates, clients per site

Examples

  • Omada software controller
  • OC200 / OC300 hardware controller
  • EAP access points, TL-SG switches, ER gateways

How it connects

What you need

  • OpenAPI clientThe client created for DumbMonit under Open API, in Client mode with the Viewer role.

Network ports to open

  • 8043/TCPController HTTPS and OpenAPI (software controller, default)
  • 443/TCPOnly for hardware controllers (OC200, OC300) and installs behind a reverse proxy
Setup steps: Create a read-only OpenAPI client for DumbMonit
  1. In the Omada controller, open Global View → Settings → Platform Integration → Open API and click Add New App.

  2. Name the app as follows, choose the Client access mode and give it the Viewer role on the sites to read.

  3. Click Apply: the controller shows the Omada ID, the Client ID and the Client Secret. Copy them: the secret is shown once.

  4. In DumbMonit, enter the controller address (omada.lan) and the port (8043, or 443 for a hardware controller), then paste the Client ID and the Client secret.

Heads-up. The Omada controller ships a self-signed certificate: tick "Accept an unverifiable certificate" unless you installed your own. The OpenAPI exists from controller version 5.9.
