End Device Tracking Add-On for Cacti

[cigamit]

Cigamit,

In order to properly associate the IP's to MAC addresses for a site, you need to associate those routers with the site. If you miss a router, and it happens to carry the traffic for a specific subnet, then the association will not take place.

I will review your additional changes to add clarity and/or confirmation tonight if at all possible.

I've added all my routers, and the info is properly being pulled into the tables, the problem lies is that I'm running Mysql 3, while in sql, the UPDATE command is only allowed to work across tables in 4.0 and above. I will see about upgrading tonight.

Wow, Jimmy that's archaic. Since beginning with Cacti last year, always ran MySQL 4.x and above. Currently 5.x.

Ya, but its what came by default with Fedora Core 3, which was stable enough to work with everything we do. Just upgraded my test box to FC4, and after fixing a few PHP5 problems, everything is now working properly.

Pretty sweet, now I just have to do some quick magic to make the plugin work in both php4 and php5 (chdir problems between the versions).

EDIT: Also, the IP search doesn't seem to work, since the function sanitize_search_string changes the . into spaces in the IP addresses, I will see about doing a quick work around.

How can I force the mac track plugin to run right now? I want to test this to see if I can get some information before I input the other 200 switches. thanks

from a command line, do this

Code: Select all

php /path/to/cacti/plugins/mac_track/poller_mactrack.php -f

If you are using PHP5, you may run into a small hitch, is so just post back your results and I will help you side step it.

[jarhead]

I run that and I get no output on the screen at all in my ssh window. When I go into the device tracking /devices page the 7 switches still have a status of unknown and show all 0's for the ports and such

I am running php5

I ran

/usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/share/cacti/plugins/mac_track/poller_mactrack.php -f

I am running on freebsd 6.0 stable

I was also able to get these errors in the messages log

I was able to get around the other errors by adding the path

from

include("./include/config.php");

to

include("/usr/local/share/cacti/include/config.php");

in the poller_mactrack.php and the mactrack_functions.php

now I get the following errors

You can set the full path, or just remove the chdir('../../') from the beginning of poller_mactrak.php and mactrack_scanner.php

As far as for this error
-c: not found
did you set the Option under "Settings >> Paths >> snmpbulkwalk Binary Path". There should probably be an error check in there for people that haven't configured that option yet.

[jarhead]

Setting the snmpbulkwalk did fix the errors but now it all times out with no response from the devices... I can do a snmpwalk on them normally

Try doing a

Code: Select all

php -q /usr/local/share/cacti/plugins/mac_track/mactrack_scanner.php -d -id=1

And see if you get any results. (Change the -id= for your device id)

[jarhead]

This is what I get back

I had to create new device types for both of these the top one being a catlyst 2980 running catos and the second one being a 4006/SupIII running IOS

[cigamit]

When adding new devices, did you happen to manually modify mactrak_scanner.php and add your device a little down the ways (around line 129-140). Currently a few things are hard coded until they can be re-written. I am actually working on this area and hope to submit a patch to The Witness within the next day or so (maybe later with Thanksgiving coming up).

[TheWitness]

Jarhead,

Please try and use snmpv1 for the device and see if you get better results. I have not tested any of those switch types with the current code base, so no promises.

One good thing to do would be to perform the following for each switch:

snmpbulkwalk -c <your_community> -v 2c -Cr50 <your_host> > your_host.txt

Then send the your_host.txt files to me so that I can see what's going on.

Cigamit,

The sanitize search function should be changed in SVN. The "." character in SVN is allowed. Please double check that you are running from SVN.
