ColdAisle Open-source DCIM

Capabilities

What ColdAisle covers

Modules from the running product — not a slideware checklist. Auth through updates, plus the floor, power, and raceways you walk every day.

Authentication

Local passwords, LDAPS, and Microsoft Entra ID in one install.

  • Local accounts managed under Users — no fixed default password; you create the admin in setup.
  • LDAPS to Active Directory (port 636), nested groups, security-group → role mapping.
  • Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) OIDC SSO with a standard app registration.
Authentication

Floor planner — 2D and 3D

Rooms in meters. Cabinets and row PDUs on a canvas, then a Three.js floor.

  • Drag cabinet templates onto the room; set U-height, mm size, and rotation.
  • 2D plan plus 3D toggle on the dashboard and floor view.
  • Raceway render filter: All / Ladder / Fiber / U-channel / Trough / Conduit.
Floor planner — 2D and 3D

Cabinets and devices

Rectangular models, rack elevation, and U-space that does not lie to you.

  • Cabinets by width/depth (mm) and U-height; rack elevation with U-mounted PDUs.
  • Click empty U-slots to add devices; conflict checks; color-coded types.
  • Interfaces and power-supply lines mapped to PDU outlets.
Cabinets and devices

Power

Zones, panels, PDUs, history, and alerts — not a spreadsheet of nameplates.

  • Power zones (A/B), panels, row/rack PDUs, 1/2/3 phase, outlet inventory, templates.
  • Near/overload alerts with batched email digests.
  • Short-term power history and charts; CSV and reports.
Power

Cabling and raceways

Port-to-port cables that can ride ordered, multi-hop raceways.

  • Media types, cable tray / underfloor / overhead routes.
  • Fiber U-channel (yellow PVC U-profile in 3D) above ladder with the same plan route.
  • Show cable path on the floor plan in 2D and 3D; calculate shortest path across the raceway graph.
Cabling and raceways

SNMP

Discover, templates, and a scheduled poll worker that does not hang Windows MIB init.

  • SNMPv2c/v3; secrets encrypted at rest with app_key.
  • MIB upload, Discover, site OID templates, phase and outlet telemetry.
  • Windows Task Scheduler worker via run_poll_snmp.cmd — the web UI never elevates.
SNMP

Work orders

Field work with checklists that include cable pathways.

  • Work-order workflow alongside inventory — not a sticky note in the ticket system.
  • Cable pathways card can calculate and document raceway hops.
Work orders

Audits and lifecycle

Physical audit jobs, a system audit trail, and disposal with notifications.

  • Physical cabinet audit jobs plus a system audit trail.
  • Disposal workflow when gear leaves the floor.
Audits and lifecycle

Reports

Inventory, utilization, power, warranty, cables, orphans, audits.

  • Operational reports without exporting to a second tool first.
  • CSV where you need it for power history and inventories.
Reports

Updates and backup

One-click GitHub update. Site export/restore for migration.

  • Settings → Updates checks public tags — no GitHub token required for the public repo.
  • Pre-update recovery zip under storage/backups; config and storage preserved.
  • Site backup package for a new install’s Restore from backup path.
Updates and backup

RBAC

Administrator, Operator, Auditor, Viewer.

  • Map AD security groups to roles; first login provisions only when mapped (recommended).
  • Default role for new AD users is Viewer unless you change it.
RBAC

Cooling and environment

CRAC / CRAH and environmental sensors next to power, not in a side spreadsheet.

  • Cooling units on the same dark ops console as racks and PDUs.
  • Per-sensor history and thresholds for the aisle you walk.
Cooling and environment

Full openDCIM migration

Bring an existing openDCIM site over — test, preview, then commit.

  • Live openDCIM API, or offline JSON dumps when the source is not reachable.
  • Mode A merges into a ColdAisle data center and never overwrites cabinet floor positions you already arranged.
  • Dry-run Preview before Run. Optional: data ports, CDUs / power maps, cabinet audits, template images, disposed devices.

NOC wall

A 1080p TV layout: 3D stage, metrics, and a 2×3 alert grid.

  • Object labels, raceways, auto-rotate, tilt/zoom, panel slide timer.
  • Live / stale footer so a frozen TV is obvious from across the room.
  • Cleared alerts show a recovered state instead of vanishing.

Install it on your Windows box

PowerShell installer, then setup.php. The marketing site is not the application.
