Network discovery for Cacty

[knobdy]

The mactrack reverse lookup isn't yet working for me - should it be?

I'm not getting anything with this plugin, grepping for discov or find turns up nothing in the logs, so I have to assume its not being kicked off?

Kicking it off manually with ICMP shows nothing in the logs (just that its started) and with UDP shows:

Code: Select all

PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function socket_create() in /usr/share/cacti/lib/ping.php on line 253

With TCP:

Code: Select all

PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function socket_create() in /usr/share/cacti/lib/ping.php on line 352

I'm getting these errors:

With UDP:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function socket_create() in /opt/cacti/cacti-0.8.6g/lib/ping.php on line 200

With TCP:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function socket_create() in /opt/cacti/cacti-0.8.6g/lib/ping.php on line 266

With ICMP:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function socket_create() in /opt/cacti/cacti-0.8.6g/lib/ping.php on line 95

Am I missing something...?!

Okay it's working for me, but I've a question.

To discover hosts, I had to run manually the file findhosts.php with php findhosts.php command.
Did I make something worng or must I do it like this?

How can I run it automatically? I'm thinking about a cron, but I don't know if I'm right.

Thx.

Hi,

I'm in the same case as Julpie... Does someone has an idea?

Thanks for your helps...

I've just discovered that hosts are searched when my server start up, and then look for new hosts regularly when it's up.

So I don't need anymore no launch it manually.

Discovery should run every 24 hours and will run with the poller, no extra cron jobs required. I am currently working on an option to allow you to specify the start time and how often it should run.
