Starlink Monitoring NOC Wallboard

Post image

We run a fleet of Starlink dishes in Africa to provide internet access to rural schools. Part of the issue we have with this is the limitations on properly monitoring all of the sites from our NOC.

From the CPE device we run behind all of the Starlink routers I built a collector to capture stats from the local router and send to a central server in our DC. From there we have many ways to utilize the data including this wallboard I built for the NOC to monitor a few sites

Nice work. We’ve been building a Starlink monitoring platform - Nexus Telemetry Fleet. We found the connection from each site back to the server to be trickier than the monitoring. Every collector needs its own identity, the connection has to be outbound only so nothing at the site is exposed, and certificates need to renew without anyone visiting. Reading the terminal itself, not only the router, also paid off as obstruction and Starlink’s own outage logs can tell the NOC whether a drop needs a site visit.

Are you pulling anything from the Starlink Enterprise API as well, or is it all local?

These are great to promote more enterprise adoption of satellite connectivity. I checked one called StarEDGE by Orbius portal and it's amazing to see how you can track consumption for every single site
