Here is the typical structure of the SNMP OID of the Didactum water sensor (ID 107001):
.1.3.6.1.4.1.46501.5.1.1.1.107001 = Sensor ID
.1.3.6.1.4.1.46501.5.1.1.5.107001 = Name
.1.3.6.1.4.1.46501.5.1.1.6.107001 = Status
.1.3.6.1.4.1.46501.5.1.1.7.107001 = Value
The Didactum software developers recommend using a MIB tool such as the MIB Browser from iReasoning.
``` You can download the Didactum MIB file from the German-language web interface of your measurement and control system under "System settings" => "SNMP" => "Download the MIB file" and open it with the MIB browser. Afterwards, you will see the SNMP OIDs of the intelligent Didactum sensors.
Didactum provides a free Icinga 2 plugin. This plugin has been successfully tested with Icinga 2 R2.12.0-1.
Didactum monitoring systems are already integrated into Check MK and are an official part of Check MK.
You can download the MIB file containing the necessary SNMP information for the monitoring appliances and IP sensors directly from the web interface. In the German web interface, under System Settings, please go to the SNMP tab. At the very bottom, you will find the entry "Download MIB file." Simply click on the entry "didactum.mib."
Then, import the MIB file using a MIB browser. You can find a free MIB browser here. After opening the MIB file with the MIB browser, please copy the corresponding OIDs into your network management software.
Didactum monitoring systems are stand-alone systems. No software installation is required on a notebook, PC, or server to operate this TCP/IP-based measurement and monitoring technology. However, since these alarm systems are SNMP compatible, integration with SNMP tools and leading network management software (NMS) is possible. The SNMP MIB files required for integrating Didactum monitoring hardware and sensors into management environments are included.

The SNMP MIB file for networked Didactum monitoring devices can also be downloaded directly from the web interface. To do this, in the German-language web GUI, go to the menu item "System Settings" and then click on the "SNMP" tab. Then, under "Download MIB file," click on "didactum.mib." You can open the MIB file with a so-called MIB browser.
Mathias Kettner GmbH offers the Check_MK plugin for Didactum temperature sensors for download here. Once installed, the Check_MK monitoring system processes the current temperature readings from the server room.
Didactum's networked IT monitoring systems are supported by OpenNMS Meridian 2015+ and OpenNMS Horizon 14+.
You can request the Nagios plugin for Didactum's SNMP monitoring hardware free of charge from their support team.
Our IT monitoring systems and associated intelligent sensors can be integrated into Server-Eye's innovative IT monitoring software. This allows you to measure and monitor important environmental factors (temperature, humidity, water leakage) with Server-Eye. To do this, import the Didactum MIB file using a tool like the iReasoning MIB Browser. The MIB Browser displays the SNMP OIDs of the Didactum sensors hierarchically. You then copy and paste the temperature sensor's OID into the Server-Eye monitoring software.

Yes. Didactum provides a free plugin for Nagios and Nagios forks, allowing you to use the GSM/LTE modem integrated into Didactum monitoring systems.
Simply request the GSM modem plugin via our contact form.

Absolutely. A simple hardware defect or a blue screen can render your network management software (NMS) unavailable. Because Didactum monitoring systems operate independently, critical events (climate control failure, fire, leakage, power outage, burglary, etc.) can be reported to the responsible personnel via email and/or SMS (via GSM/4G modem). Messages are also forwarded to the alarm system or building management system (BMS) via the integrated I/O contacts. Equipped with an internal modem, Didactum monitoring systems also support failover and out-of-band (OoB) management functions in the event of a network disruption or total network failure.

Yes. Our customers have successfully integrated the Didactum SNMP monitoring hardware into Xonitor.
Yes. The SNMP-compatible Didactum monitoring systems are an integral part of the intuitive Observium network monitoring software.
A Checkmk extension is offered for the integration of the door contact sensor.
Didactum provides a free template for Zabbix. You can request it free of charge from our support team here.
Please verify that the "didactum-mib" file was successfully imported into PRTG and that access via the SNMPv2 protocol is working. This should be completely straightforward, as it is for many other PRTG users. Next, switch the protocol to SNMPv3 in the web interface of the Didactum infrastructure monitoring device.
Ensure that the login credentials have been entered correctly. Also, check the supported options in PRTG (security level: private; SHA/MD5 and AES/DES).
Then save the SNMPv3 configuration entered in the Didactum device (click the floppy disk icon in the upper right corner). After restarting the Didactum device, access via SNMPv3 will work flawlessly in PRTG.
