End Device Tracking Add-On for Cacti

[quinten]

I figured out this part of the problem, and it was because I was not using the Plugin version of Cacti..

still working on it to find out the issue with the do_hook() function. Has to be in something I have done, or possibly a PHP4 issue or lib not loaded correctly.

I may have overlooked this, but I did scan through all of the pages before posting this. I have gotten mactrack up and running after creating a device type to match my 2950's and it is collecting data for just about everything. The only things that it doesn't seem to be collecting are the end device IP address and the port name. I noticed earlier in the thread where it had been mentioned that there might be an issue with the poller_mactrack.php and the $ip_range["site_id"] field, but I checked mine and it appears fine (I have ran the database_upgrade.php file so that probably accounts for that).

Does anyone have any idea's on what I could look for on this? By the way, this is running on Windows XP, PHP 5.1.2 and Apache 2.0.55. Thanks.

chadd, thanks for the tip. I have tried that and have created a device type with my oid. but after adding a new device, it still recognizes it as .1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.3.2.10 [the default one, i mean].

I am sure, I missed something.

I tested mactrack on my cacti server (FreeBSD 6.0 - running net-snmp-5.2.2_1) and it works fine. I can't imaging it is that dissimilar. I have included screen shots that may help you.

It seems like your /includes/config.php was not patched properly when installing the Plugin Architecture. Use the prepatched file included with the Plugin Architecture, and re-enter your database information into it.

chadd, Your post has been informative. Thanks.

After following the steps, I finally got this
Freya NOC Up 10.27.27.32 Switch/Router 92 2 2 0 0 0.8

I basically had to create a device type with the oid it has detected and the device identifier.

But what i meant was the mactrack script has detected an OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.3.2.10 and when I do a snmpwalk my [linux box]/[the snmpd on the box] reports that the oid does'nt exist, which surprised me. Secondly after reporting the switch/router ports, the mactrack script did not report the ip-macs pairs in its output.

And I do see the snmpd holding the ip-mac pairs under a different oid. And I was wondering if it would be possible to make the script list them in its output.

Thirdly, possibly a mis-configuration on my part, but I noticed a minor quirk. My linux boxes have their device types as 2.4.31 or .32 with an extra tag, for example 2.4.32-bitchie. The script generated an error [Instead of Up/Down] when I specified the device identifier as 2.4.3% instead of 2.4.32-bitchie. What is wrong with the syntax?

Sorry for the delay in replying. I was bogged down with work. </chuckle>

Hello,

i'am just trying mactrack, but if it scan the switchs (cisco) it discover the vlans, the ports, the ips, but no mac address !! instead it writes "NOT USER" in the database.

Does anyone have an good idea ?

Best Regards

Can anyone point me to a quick Readme for setting this up? Besides the standard Plugin architecture stuff, do I need to run any database updates etc? I've got to a point of creating a site, but I get a Save Failed message - oh - does it work under windows?

I had the same issue when I started with it. The answer is a long way back in this message board. After you have done the basic install for this plugin (placed under plugin folder and added it into your config.php file) you need to:

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

I got the above statement from an earlier posting but it fixed my error creating sites.

I can not answer your question about running it on windows since I am not but I do not see any reason why it would not work.

This issue may have been addressed already and I missed it scanning through the thread... but I always thought there were significant performance issues for dumping arp tables via SNMP? I remember Cisco putting a big no-no on doing that because it will peg the CPU on routers with large arp tables. Something about the way the ARP table is accessed and traversed via SNMP. Has anyone found this to be true, and if so, what effect has this plugin had on your routers?

[adrianmarsh]

Has anyone got this working with Avaya kit ?

The values on tables are still 0

Can you advance me?

[kenth]

Just a silly question but without wading through 41 pages of messages how does one find everything they need to try out this plugin?

Did you solve your problem Shakey ?? because I have the same issue. Nothing in "End Device IP Address" and "End Device DNS Hostname". I also ran the database_uprgade. But for me all the other collumns are OK.

So great plugin I love... but just a little issue. Someone have an idea ?

thanks

[shakey_1]

No, I was never able to get that working. I have since moved from the Windows version to the Linux based CactiEZ, but I am having the same issue.

[adrianmarsh]

Jga: I'd say this is your starting point "Device Type Not Found in Device Type Table"

Kenth: basics are: install cacti, install plugin architecture, install this plugin (run with .sql updates too), then provision. First check the pre-provisioned device types are ones you have, then add the sites and devices.
