Who Want's A MacTrack 2.0?

[yantisj]

Sorry to hear development on this plugin has stopped, but I have written a similar open source tool to accomplish the same task and more using SSH instead of SNMP. It is not a cacti plugin, and instead is a standalone program. Here's a link if anyone is interested in this functionality and a list of features:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/netdbtracking/

Screenshots:
https://sourceforge.net/project/screens ... _id=258997

Features
- Track all entries in your MAC and ARP tables across your network routers and switches over time
- Quickly track down a problem with a device and locate its lastest state on the network
- Includes a command line tool and an easy to use web interface
- Web Interface includes sortable columns and both tools can generate extensive CSV reports
- Track the usage of static IP addresses and generate reports for static address recovery
- Generate switch reports to recover unused ports or plan for network upgrades
- Find all switchports configured for a vlan and find what devices if any have been connected
- Find all devices on a VLAN and the last time they were online
- Send Wake On Lan packets from the Web Interface to remotely wakeup workstations
- Import data from 1,000 or more devices in under five minutes (depends on hardware used)
- Support for VRFs and almost every modern Cisco IOS and NX-OS device
- Optional graphing through MRTG to track the usage trends on your network
- Optionally integrate NAC registration data to retrieve/search user registration information

Security
- Runs everything as the netdb user
- Uses and/or SSH/Telnet to gather information from your devices and does not require write access
- Does not use SNMP, so no security issues or MIBs to mess with
- Web Interface has access controls to restrict the information users can access based on their userid
- Web Interface input is checked and detainted

Supported Devices
- NetDB has been tested on these platforms and likely works on other Cisco devices
- Cisco 12.2 - 12.4 IOS routers for ARP data -- configure them with netdbnomac to avoid errors about missing mac tables
- Cisco IOS 7600/6500 SXF and above plus VSS support (No CatOS Support)
- Cisco 4500 Family (4006/4506/4948)
- Cisco 3750/3560 (anything using 12.2(35)+ will work for sure, some 12.2(25)SEE+ codes works, but really old
versions have bugs in them)
- Cisco 2950/2960/2970 should all work, but the same code issue above applies for 2970s and probably 2960s
- Cisco Nexus NX-OS Switches should be fully supported

Backend Details
- Uses indexed MySQL database for millisecond response times and scales to a million or more rows
- Uses multi-process scraper scripts to quickly gather data from hundreds of devices in minutes
- Extensive logging and debugging support for troubleshooting
- Optionally integrate NAC registration data to retrieve and search user registration information

The above Link does not work, I get repository not found

[zoemu]

Nevermind I found it

It Is csv.cacti... instead of svn.cacti.....

Hi Larry,

Do you have a preferred method of contributing code back to the project?
I am currently on revision 533 and have made some changes to 3-4 files to fix errors and annoyances and would like to contribute the code back to the project.

Thanks

[TheWitness]

Create a ticket here: http://bugs.cacti.net and attach the full files there, and then send me a PM and I will merge.

I was not able to find time to do much this weekend. Paid projects getting in my way. Wish I had enough money to retire so I could do this more full time

I created the bug reports and pm'd them to you.
I will list them here so others can view the solutions and apply them if they feel so inclined.

For some one that hasn't done this before, do I simply take out the lines in the bug list with a - in front and replace with the line of code with a +?

[alokvimawala]

I have created a patch file that you can apply to version 533 of the code.
Just download the attached file, copy it to your mactrack directory and run:

Code: Select all

patch -p0 -i alokvimawala_mactrack_patch.diff.txt

The file contains patches for all the bug requests I submitted.

If you could respond back with your success/failure, it will be much appreciated

Hey I appreciate that and will be more then happy to try it and let you know. However... I can't even get to the svn from either the links provided above.. what is the true address?

cvs.cacti.net
csv.cacti.net
svn.cacti.net none can be found

[rjoshuaw]

Nevermind. got it finally. will let you know

[alokvimawala]

For all those that are wondering, the code repository location has changed and the new command to check out the current working copy of the code is:

Code: Select all

svn co svn://svn.cacti.net/var/svnroot/cacti_plugins/mactrack/trunk
