Worked excellent - all except DNS resolution, that's still not working. I noticed something about DNS reverse lookups in the change log, but I can't now recall what it was about. Thought I'd try disabling and renabling it first and maybe watch the process (EXCELLENT FEATURE ADD!!!) and see if it'll show me what is going on.

DNS is still not working how it should. I have added a simple fix on my side of things that looks like it will fix it permanently for me, but I need to get with Larry as to whether it is OK with him.

something is ???? ERROR: SQL Exec Failed

Post by pepj »

Hi

All seems to be good BUT when I look at the log file I can see some errors and failed (ERROR: SQL Exec Failed )?

I give you the LOG files one with debug one normal.

I give you also the 2 output-files from the commands:
"php poller_mactrack.php -d
-f -sid=3 >problem20060127MAC-Site3.txt"

"php poller_mactrack.php -d
-f -sid=3 >problem20060127MAC-Site3-DEBUG.txt"

attachements removed because "Post limitation" (the problem has been solved with new release)

Hi

What HP Procurves are supported with the get_procurve_switch_ports function? I've tried it against Procurve 5300 and 2600 series but neither seems to work. It seems to work with the get_generic_switch_ports though.

Also would it be possible to add support for Netscreen firewalls as well?

Well i plugged in the new version and tried to run the database_upgrade.php

and it resulted in this:

Code: Select all

[root@mail mactrack]# php database_upgrade.php
00000000000000100000000000000000000
Updating Device Types in Devices Table.  Please be patient.
PHP Warning:  Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/html/cacti/plugins/mactrack/database_upgrade.php on line 70

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/html/cacti/plugins/mactrack/database_upgrade.php on line 70
now i can't find anything wrong in the file so i'm stumped,

System:
FC4
MySQL 4.1
PHP 5.0.4
HTTPD-2.0.54

ideas anyone?

I think that I have the new version of MacTrack installed correctly. It's polling devices, and showing me MAC and IP addresses on the switches that I manually entered.

N00b question: is MacTrack supposed to automatically add switches and routers that it finds?

tommyj,

I am going to write a device_checker script to provide some information for the developer in creating device specific scanning functions.

For now, the only procurve that I was able to add was the "HP J4121A ProCurve". Any Procure device types that are different from it will require a different scanning function, or of course, the generic one.

Ok, good to know. The HP J4121A (HP 4000) is slightly different from the newer ones so I guess that's the reason. I don't get the vlans or portnames with the generic_switch_ports though.

Excellent work anyway! :)

Hi,

new version (plugin-ver) works fine especially the debug-tracking of the poller. The "Side-IP-Range" tab is empty, no IPs or MACs shown. Must i make specific changes to get it work?`(I runned database_upgrade without errors.)

Guys

I've just added the MacTrack plugin to check it out. I've only added 1 device, one of our core routers. Cisco 6509 >> here is the output when i run >>

CMDPHP: Poller[0] ERROR: SQL Exec Failed

Post by olba »

hi all,

i implemented the mactrack plugin successfully.
adding of new devices and creating a new site was ok but when mactrack tries to poll i only get failures related to SQL Exec....

see: CMDPHP: Poller[0] ERROR: SQL Exec Failed ....

i updated the new plugin version with the new files from SVN,
imported the mactrack.sql, proceeded the database_upgrade file without any failures.

Where´s my mistake?? :-?

i´m running cacti on an w2k3 machine with mysql v.5.0.18-nt
