plugin for download/upload routers switches configuration

[pepj]

Configmanager plugin,
(you need the pugin architecture)

current version configmanager: 0.76
current version sharednetworkclass: 0.40

corrections from configmanager 0.75 to 0.76:

- bug snmp v2
- add new options for snmp v3 (some like priv auth are not supported in pancho, only with snmp pure PHP).

new changes in configmanager 0.7x:

- also compatible with cacti 0.8.7 and above
- TFTP method "pure PHP" without pancho is possible (need to copy "sharednetworkclass")
- traps/syslog detection with activation of the config for the host which received the trap.

Explanation:
With this plugin you can easily schedule the download/upload of the configuration of your routers, switches AND NOW any devices (or change in one click some parameters of hundert of switches ... dangerous but possible now). It should function for all type of router or switches.

There is two method "TFTP" and "multi".
[/list]- "TFTP" is based of "pancho" www.pancho.org.
- "TFTP" with option "pure PHP" no need of pancho installation (you need to copy the "sharednetwork class"-module).
- "multi" can use any scripts or SCP, FTP, SFTP or what you want.
[/list]
The syslog(haloe plugin) and traps could active the download of the pancho config or script for the host which has received a specific event and which the "trap event flag" is active.

read first the manual.txt in the zipped file

(for windows) copy the diff.exe and gzip.exe into /plugins/configmanager
if you don't have one.
I cannot put it in the package because the max upload in this forum is 256

UPGRADE: for upgrading

- take care about your own secure.cfg and securecompare.cfg files and your scripts under 'plugins/configmanager/scripts if you have some
- (NO MORE NEEDED database_upgrade.php )

You see some views (and the full release including gzip.exe and diff.exe) in :

I will put in this post always the latest release.

Great, I will see about setting up a test lan (none production) to give it a try on. I will let you know how it goes!

subject:
need help for adding download/upload the configuration though FTP or SCP (SSH)

I 've discussed with the creator of "pancho" Charles Menzes(devel@pancho.org).
He can add in pancho the option to download/upload the configurations through FTP or SCP (SSH).
For these changes he needs some volunters for testing the new function.

If someone is interested you can contact him www.pancho.org (devel@pancho.org).

I will adapt the cacti plugin configmanager to use this option.

thanks

[pepj]

Here the new version

(picture in the first three posts !!!!)

With the compare function (diff) that a lot of people were waiting .... I needed more times because I had to rewrite the "browser" function of PHP because I needed to see files on the server not on the client.

You can submit you idea or correction (I cannot test linux, but I try programming without).

Some explanations:
Comparaison tool: you can compare what you want its a diff. I tested only under window
at this time but it should also function under linux. For the Windows users
I have put a diff.exe in the configmanager plugins which has the same parameters
as under linux.

security:
2/ For the comparaison of the file I want to use the same idea in order
to avoid the access above the specified directory. I use the file
"securecompare.cfg"

[flavour]

Great to see this functionality being included
Do I assume correctly that the included diff.exe is for the WIn32 platform whereas Linux will use native diff?

When I enter the 'compare configs' section I get this error:
"Call to undefined function: scandir() in /var/www/cacti-0.8.6h/plugins/configmanager/compare.php on line 375"

Hello

[flavour]

[pepj]

Here the release with comparaison of zip of gz files.
I've corrected some errors for unix in the compare function

also ok for PHP4

PS: For the compare (diff function) check it you have the following temporary folder './plugins/configmanager/temp'

@ jimmy (& Gigamit )

I have seen today (after trying the reports plugin of Bradley) that he is using the same realm 60-61. I can change mine, but I think you should give us one or two, or/and create a new function that would avoid such problems. For some month we had the same problem also with NPC(Nagios)...

What do you think about it?

[pepj]

Hello

I am proud to announce this new version with also the possibility to download/upload with SCP, SSH, SFTP, and more ...

I want to put more helps and pictures later ....

It would be good at telling me if it is good under unix (I think yes)

PS: In this version each person can create a template and so help the community. So if you have good templates tell us that

PS: for the users of the old version you must start: "php database_upgrade.php" and check the realms (user-management). I change it to 70.

I have to do a little philosopy change with the "move" of the TFTP method. Until now I did a move after the TFTP download. But there is a big synchronisation's problem because we cannot know when the TFTP has finished to download all the files. Therefore when you have few routers/switches to "TFTP" download and some of them with low bandwidth, it happends that some files are not moved to yyymmdd folder (but are staying on the TFTProot) because the move started before the TFTP download was completly finished. With A very hudge amount of routers/switches I had no problem .. until now.
Therefore I remove my idea of "move" after the TFTP download. But I activate the TftpRoot and Tftppath parameters of Pancho for the people who have a TFTP which can do this.
So all the data will be copied under the TFTP path data (which must be under the TFTP root).

If someone has an idea how to solve this problem ..... (i.e: schedule later or an another move idea) http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?p=62213#62213

PS: If you want to try again with move you can "uncomment" the line 257 to 267 of the file "configmanager_gatewaytoprogram.php" (remove /* and */)

When I attempt to manage the configs after installing the latest plugin, I get the error "error no right !!'... I have permissions setup and I am logged in as Admin... Did I miss something? I don't have secure.cfg setup, but at this point,I don't want to restrict this to a specific IP until I can get this working...
