It appears as if your MacTrack scanner has not been functioning for a few days. BTB, the THold tables are not related to the MacTrack ones.
Just another note, the software is still under development and something may have happened to break polling. Just over this weekend, several changes including bug fixes and enhancements were made.
Cigamit is doing a great job keeping up.

Hi Witness,
sorry for mixing up. I had a terrible weekend and monday morning is bad.
Mactrack: knowing all the software is under permanent delevoping (and hopping that this will go on !)I will wait for cigamit to convert it into plugin.
Is there any plan to mix this two branches together in one plugin and make this into the official release ?
Larry,
How do I set up the device type? for the sysDesc do I put Baystack 450?
Here is my current setup:
sysDescr: BayStack 450-24T
OID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.45
scanning functions: get_norbay_switch_ports
Regards,
Willie

The 425-T switches are tested and have base support. Don't know how that extends to other Bay/Nortel products though. I need feedback on the storage on the "portname" and "portnumber". Right now, I am not storing the "portname" because, I don't know the best place to get it from. Should it be "ifDescr", "ifAlias", or is there a proprietary MIB to pull it from?
To make the Nortels work, you will need to add device types to the device type database.
Please provide feedback on the port information storage and how well they are supported.
Here is a request that I have for Mactrack. I would like to be able to see my switches when I say "all" timeframes to list all the macs by port with the trunck ports excluded.
Here is where I am going with this. If you have a building that has more than one shift, macs come and go throughout the night. You really dont get a clear picture of your switch untilazation by looking at a single time range. the current version lists the trucnk ports when you say "all". It also repeats the mac addresses that are duplicate for the ports for each time period. What I would like to see if a filtered report (by hub/board/port) that will list each mac address that has been on that port. that way if FA 3/1 has had 00:04:00:8F:D7:18 the past 20 poll times, you only see 1 entry. but if that mac has shown up on a 2nd port, you would see it on that port too.
I've noticed another issue that I'm experience - data retention isn't working, meaning I'm retaining too much of it. I have it configured for two days but currently have 5 days of data.
Reverse DNS looks aren't working either - generally it simply prints the IP address.

This is a known issue, as the "ips_current_date" column is missing from the table "mac_track_ip_ranges". After adding that column correctly, everything works nicely. I'm waiting for Larry's next update to resolve this, and then I will synch the plugin again.

Are there any tips on the DNS resolver i keep getting Both Primary and Secondary DNS timed out. currently rhis is set to the default of 500 should i increase this or reduse the number of concurrent devices being polled ( currently 7 ).
Also on the tracking utilities / Remove all scan results the delete / cancel button images are looking in the plugin\mactrack\images directory and not the cacti\images .

The resolver could be timing out if the DNS servers aren't responding in the time given, so you can try increasing that, or it could be that they aren't accepting UDP traffic on port 53. If its not either of those, than I am unsure of what it could be.
Yes, the Cancel / Delete buttons aren't showing up as I need to add an extra patch to the plugin architecture to make it so. I hope to have this out sometime soon.
I have increased the DNS Resolution Tim Out to 20000 milliseconds still getting the Primary and secondary time outs. If i look at the 1st Site under Mactrack there are some DNS name resolved remaining show DNS name as IP, the second site onwards site id 2,3 etc have no DNS names only IP's. It looks like the resolver is timing out on the 1st site then failing all the rest?.
Setup is as follows:
4 sites, each site has 2 routers, and between 2-6 switches. Total IPs for all 4 sites just under 2000 , User Ports 2500, User Ports up 1500 Macs 1500.

Hi Witness,
thanks for this really great plugin
The described way doesn't work. I have (e.g.) some Cisco C2980 and C2980G-A. If I make an entry "WS-C2980%" I get an error for the 2980G-A. I had to add both explicit. And the %-sign is the wildcard, isn't it? What's wrong here?
Regards and thanks again
Something I wasn't aware of in regards to the 4006 I'm having so much trouble with is that it has one powered blade - initially used for IP phones. We're not using IP phones on that floor anymore but the blade is still installed. It is the ONLY blade reporting MAC addresses.
Not sure what kind of difference that will make but it is the only anomaly between the blades.
