In the log i see:

Error: Cannot download: 172.16.3.4 not activ.

What does not activ mean and how can i activ the device?

Im running PHP TFTP on win platform, I have checked the pure TFTP box and entered the IP of out TFTP server.

Thanks

Error: Cannot download: 172.16.3.4 not activ.
What does not activ mean and how can i activ the device?

either not reacheable or wrong community or ACL problem (or wrong snmp version). For downloading this must be the write community.

PS: which type of devices ?

[Dwayne_Dibbley]

I change from V2 to V1 and sort of worked, these were Cisco 7200 routers. Problem is now out end as no RW community string, no SSH, i i dont think there is a command line plink equivilent for telnet with login / enable access etc?

Thanks

It is possible ... The problem is that telnet protocol in windows do not read the input in not interactive mode. There are several solutions, but the easiest without programmation (C,WSscript) is with cygwin.
Here the solution.

1/ install cygwin if not already done
2/ Copy the command file "telnetdownloadcygwin.bat" under your_cactipath/plugin/configmanager/script
3/ copy template.txt under your_cactipath/plugin/configmanager/
4/ select this template in the configuration of the method "multi" of configmanager
5/ check if the last parameter (10) for the sleep is enough (see PostScriptum below)

I will insert it in the next realease.

PS: you can also directly use "telnetdownloadcygwin.bat" like this :
telnetdownloadcygwin.bat host user password your_path\nameofconfig.txt 10
PS the last parameter (sleep) could be very important when you have a low bandwith or the device is very busy.

Hi

If I run configmanager_poller.php by hand (CLI php) the config files download fine and "last run" on "manage configs" is set to current time, but when it runs naturally - "last run" not changed from "0000-00-00 00:00:00 " never. If I reset the last run date and run it manually again by running configmanager_poller then it works fine.... I use freebsd 6.2, cacti-0.8.6j.3_2, configmanager0.73, method pancho, other plugins (such as weathermap) works fine. What can be a problem ?

Thanks, but when we log in to a router we dont supply a username, then once logged in we have to type en and another password the be able to then "sh run".

how can i check if the view for version 2 allow...?

pancho: (ERROR) 192.168.5.5 Source Configuration doesnt exist.

1/
Are you sure that pancho can download the router/switch configuration when you startet it manually from the shell ?
with

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/perl -I/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/Pancho-9.3.7/bin /usr/local/bin/pancho.pl --download --post --config /usr/local/tftp/data/configmanagerid12.conf.conf

You can try aso without "--post"

2/ could you try with snmp version 1

3/ check if the view for version 2 allow you to download the config

[pepj]

If I run configmanager_poller.php by hand (CLI php) the config files download fine ... when it runs naturally - "last run" not changed from "0000-00-00 00:00:00 " never.

The is started automatically from the function configmanager_poller_bottom() in the setup.php. It is like manage-plugin.

1/ can you set "Poller Logging Level" to MEDIUM and do you see the "configmanager_poller.php" starts
2/ can you check if the cacti user have the execute rights on the files of configmanager ?

Not a problem: have a look in the script of "telnetdownloadcygwin.bat" ... you can modify the commands

Code: Select all

(echo %2; echo %3; echo term len 0; echo sh run; sleep %5)

. These "echo" are exactly what the user do manually. The %1, %2, ... are the value of the 1st, 2nd, ... parameters gived in the confignamager. For example if you give first only a password and later a user and password
1/ give for example as command in the configmanager config:

Code: Select all

%g%/configmanager/scripts/telnetdownloadcygwin2.bat %n% %u% %w% %p%/%y%%m%%d%/%n%.cfg 10 firstpassword

2/ and in the "telnetdownloadcygwin2.bat" change

Code: Select all

(echo %6; echo %2; echo %3; echo term len 0; echo sh run; sleep %5)

PS: the step 1/ could be done directly in the template.txt

Thanks for this hint. With "Poller Logging Level" - MEDIUM in logs I see
"09/24/2007 11:20:44 AM - SYSTEM CFG MANAGER POLLER:EXEC=/usr/bin/php -q /usr/local/share/cacti/plugins/configmanager/configmanager_poller.php /"
but /usr/bin/php is wrong path, earlier I have forgotten to change this value in "Cacti Settings (Paths)". I am surprised, how other plugins works with this wrong path ? %) (in crontab php path is valid)

PS after change php path to /usr/local/bin/php all works fine, thanks again.

I tested with the snmpset command and i have this answer:

I think you are not using PHP 5.x. PHP4.x needs several external libraries because several snmp functions are missing.

recently Im testing the trap event of "config up/down-load"

test from the command line with "php configmanager_poller.php
success
test from the command line with "php configmanager_trap_poller.php
failed nothing happen

i have enabled the 'accept event'
syslog can recieve
'%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Loopback0, changed state to administratively down '
and i add
"cisco;;1.3.6.1.2.1.11.0.2"
in "configmanager_trap_list.txt"
1.3.6.1.2.1.11.0.2" means LinkDown in cisco oid
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/ ... 2.1.11.0.2
but Im not quite sure if i pick the right value
i also tried "cisco;;LinkDown"
didnt work
did I miss sumthing
could anyone give me some help

Hello pepj,
i do have the php5, but now i discover why it couldnt find the function snmp_set_quick_print(). It was because the snmp lib was commented in my snmp.ini file. Now i have uncommented it and i have the following answer to the command:


1)

DEBUG: HOST:10.71.8.1 RESULT:Error: function in developpement .......n

Looking closely in the programmes in directory sharednetworkclass i noticed that this error appears in the snmp_default.class.php. Why "default" and not "cisco"? I tried from the user interface too but it didnt work neither. There is something that i am missing? some missing configuration ?


2)For your second tip, when you told me to change the method to 2, it worked ok in the command line, but how i can set this config by cacti schedule in config manager? I tried but i dont find any settings about this type of method used by pure TFTP.



I configured my router with debug snmp and terminal monitor to look what exactly was going on. In situation 2) it showed the mibs CopyTable.1.x.x and the values ok. But in the situation 1) it didnt show the snmp conversation with the mib CopyTable.1.x.x and values, just the mib system (i think that it is because in first place the snmp_networkclass.php do a sysDescr query ).

but have some trouble
test from the command line with "php configmanager_poller.php
success
test from the command line with "php configmanager_trap_poller.php

use only "php configmanager_poller.php -d" this will check and start php configmanager_trap_poller.php if needed

have enabled the 'accept event'
syslog can recieve
'%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Loopback0, changed state to administratively down '
and i add
"cisco;;1.3.6.1.2.1.11.0.2"

1.3.6.1.2.1.11.0.2" means LinkDown in cisco oid
but Im not quite sure if i pick the right value
i also tried "cisco;;LinkDown"

The LinkDown or 1.3.6.1.2.1.11.0.2 should be ok in fact it shoud be something that appears in the traps (see the syslog).

1/ have you in the global setting "Up/Download Config Manager" set
accept traps ----> yes
delay to wait after a trap ----> some minutes
2/ in each config you want active:
accept events ----> yes
3/ the config is an "active rule" (not paused)
4/ check in the view "trap events"
You can see:
- the global trap events activation is enabled.
- the delay to wait after a trap is XXmin.
- there is X configurations with trap events enabled.
- you see the list of the confis of configmanager which accept traps
view of the file with the traps
5/ at the beginning active the debug of configmanager in the global setting "Up/Download Config Manager"
6/ is the traps "LinkDown" in syslog ?
