End Device Tracking Add-On for Cacti

[OMFan]

I have just downloaded and installed the mactrack plugin as I have several others, but I do not ever see the mactrack tab appear on top.

The Device Tracking settings for the plugin appear under the Console settings, but the tab never appears.

To setup, I downloaded the tar.gz archive (version 0.1b) from http://cactiusers.org/downloads/?.

Extracted the archive to:
/var/www/localhost/htdocs/cacti/plugins/mactrack/

And added the following line to:
/var/www/localhost/htdocs/cacti/include/config.php

$plugins[] = 'mactrack';

I am using Cacti 0.8.6h with the plugin architecture installed (and running the monitor and thold plugins with no problem).

Am I missing something somewhere? I've checked all over and I saw where one other person had a similar problem but I didn't see the resolution.

Thanks!

Hello,

I have got the same error. I read all the posts and i can't find the solution.
Also, since my server is behind a proxy server, i can't do the update through the svn repository.

Can you help me ?

Thansk a lot

It's HTML based here:

http://svn.cacti.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cg ... t=MacTrack

Granted, you have to download 1 file at a time....

Hi,

Great Plug-in!! Thanks.

Anyway, I want to see the end-device hostname on the cacti traffic graph.

--------------------------------
gig0/1 www.example.com (or IP, MAC,,, but, hostname is the best)
--------------------------------

...::::::::::.....:::::...... <--traffic graph

--------------------------------
gig0/2 mail.example.com
--------------------------------

...::::::::::.....:::::...... <--traffic graph

Thanks for your quick answer.

But, i would like to know if the version of MacTrack on cactiusers website is the same that you can find on the svn.

Thanks a lot

Well,

Officially, we have not released the project to production. Cigamit is moving forward in any event. I guess, I should release this thing then...

So have you got any idea about my problem ?
Do you advice me to download all the files on svn ?


Thanks a lot.

It ended up being a permissions issue, you have to grant yourself access (even if your admin). Go to Console / Utilities / User Management and grant yourself access to the Realm. It isn't enabled by default.

It works !!!!!

Thanks a lot vedd99.

Thanks a lot for your answer.

You also need to be sure to run the database_upgrade.php file:
$ php database_upgrade.php

And import the SQL code to yur cacti db:
$ mysql -u root -p cacti < mactrack.sql

I also had to create some new Device Types to match my equipment. All of our stuff here is Cisco, so I just ran the scanner script and got the identifier and copied one of the existing device types.
$ php mactrack_scanner.php -d -id=<id#>

where <id#> is the id number of the device you setup (you can get this from the device screen URL when you hover over an entry).

I will likely be online Friday evening EST. I am not online at the moment. As fare as the max-repeater "-Ccr50". YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE STATEMENT ENTIRELY. I belive that the 4006 Agent does not process the max-repeaters portion of the inbound snmp request.

When I removed the max-repeater section entirely, I got data predictably.

So I should comment out the following:

Code: Select all

 $exec_string = trim($path_snmpbulkwalk .
                " -c " . $snmp_readstring .
                        " -OnUQ -v " . $snmp_version .
                        " -r " . $snmp_retries .
                        " -t " . ceil($snmp_timeout/1000) . " " .
                        $hostname . ":" . $snmp_port . " " . $OID);

I'm going to go ahead and do it, but in case this isn't correct, you can lead me along.

No, that can't be write...I'll wait to hear from you.

All of my devices are Cisco too.

What is the name of the script you ran ?



Thanks.

[knobdy]

What is the name of the script you ran ?

If the device is already defined in cacti you can simply go its device page and it will give you the model number at the top.

[OMFan]

When i go to Management -> Devices Menu, i click on the device and i don't find the id number.

The only id I found in the webpage is at the end of URL.

But when i run "php mactrack_scanner.php -d -id=6" i have got the following error : "ERROR: Device with Id of '6' not found in database. Can not continue."



Thanks.
