End Device Tracking Add-On for Cacti

[tman]

Can someone tell me if I need to run 'setup.php' in the mactrack plugin folder to integrate the polling with cacti, only even after setting up sites, adding devices etc, I'm still getting nothing polled. Nothing at all. The main router still shows 'unknown', even though I've configured it correctly.

All advanced settings are correct as far as I can see, and Cacti is polling the devices for normal stats ok.

No, it is not required to run setup.php, as it would do absolutely nothing for you. Setup.php is more of a registration file for Cacti to see and parse to determine what needs to be done.

Does your Cacti log display any mactrack errors? Have you tried running the mactack poller manually to see if there are any errors? Can you email me your poller.php so I can ensure that the plugin architecture was properly applied?

Is there a way to import the latest mactrack.sql file into the cacti database without loosing all your existing mactrack data?

Hey,

when There were changes from the mactrack.sql file I just ran the database_upgrade.php from the command propt to take care of the changes.

This is going to be so nice when it's all going

Thank you to the team here for all your hard work!


I have a Juniper M20 I am trying to get to work with MacTrack.

I have added a device type, but I assume the reason it is not working is because of the functions for scanning the ports.

Has anyone had any luck/experience/pointers with the Junipers?

Thank you for any suggestions

If you can provide access to one of the Juniper switches for me via the internet through your firewall, I can integrate.

Can someone give me an example of the changes made to poller.php for mactrack to poll correctly. I'm still having problems, and want to check that everything looks ok.

Thanks

Tman,

I would recommend going to your mactrack plugin directory and type
php poller_mactrack.php -d -f

See what the results are. If youa re getting the mactrack tab at the top of your screen, it shold be installed. Also, make sure that you go to settings and check your "Device Tracking" tab. the default "data collection timing" is set to disabled. When you are testing, it is good to set that time to 1 hour and set the "start time" to the next 5 minute increment.

The plugin is designed to work off of your regular poller. there is nothing to put in the windows scheduler or cron.

Regards,

Willie

Can't say for sure what your problem is, but are you sure you've updated your database?

Thats really nice of you

Do you need ssh access into the router, or do you need just access to a box on my network so that you can snmpwalk it etc? I can possibly work something like this out, I really appreciate your time. I will PM you.

-Thanks

My installation also exhibits this problem, but it really does save, so I guess it's not that bad.

I have cacti 86-g, and I have downloaded the mactrack.zip from page 26 of this thread I believe, and I have ran the database_upgrade.php via command line.

Here is an updated copy of last nights SVN for the plugin. Everyone test this version and let us know if you find any bugs. I guess I will try to keep an updated version on here anytime anything is fixed, otherwise we keep getting old bug reports.

All old versions of the plugin version are now removed from their posts to avoid confusion.

Also, to note. There is a new folder in this plugin called "patched files". These are updated Cacti files that are required for the plugin version of Mactrack to work. You must override your original Cacti files with these (just like the Plugin Architecture). These files include all necessary Plugin Architecture modifications also.

And ofcourse, please run the database_upgrade.php before testing, as otherwise things may not work!

Sweet, thank you

I upgraded this first (still using 86g) and it still had the file not saved error, so I now upgraded to 86h, and everything works like a charm

Cigamit,

Downloaded and installed the new version of the mactrack plugin. everything looks good so far. worked much better once I remembered to run the database_upgrade script <g>.
