TheWitness · Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2007 6:20 am Post subject: MacTrack 1.1 for Cacti 0.8.7

All,

There are not functional changes from 1.0. However, this version does work on Cacti 0.8.7.

Ermmm...how do I read the documention?

First of all I have to download a separate copy of mactrack to my workstation (I manage my Cacti server via ssh)

Now I can't even open the .doc using Open Office..I get a file corrupt error as does Google Docs. Tried a different download source as well.

Please include a README in future releases!

If you mean this, this version can be used for 0.8.7b ?

Witness,
Can you please update this post with some documentation? Your .doc is still corrupt.
cheers,
Niobe

Hmm. so is my copy. Let me check SVN for an older one. If not, this could take some time.

TheWitness,

I am having problems trying to get mactrack to work on a 3560. No worky. Any ideas why it finds active ports but can't associate bridge port info?

Hi Witness,

I just went through an install and documented each step that I took. Hopefully this will help some people while the author is diligently trying to find some documentation.

You *WILL* have to interpret this and substitute commands for your own install - I performed these steps on a Debian Lenny install.

Assumptions: You have the plugin architecture already installed.

cd /var/www/cacti/plugins
wget http://cactiusers.org/downloads/mactrack.tar.gz
tar zxvf mactrack-1.1.tar.gz

cd mactrack
mysql cacti < mactrack.sql
mysql cacti < mactrack.sql.0.0.1
/usr/bin/php5 database_upgrade.php (THIS was the key to making things work for me)

vi ../../include/global.php
$plugins = array();
$plugins[] = 'mactrack';

User Management, Admin user
Realm permissions:
Checkmark in Plugin Management, View Mactrack, Admin Mactrack, Manage Mac Auth
Save, MacTrack Tab now appears at top.

Device Tracking Management on left side:
Click Sites, Add in top right.
Fill in your site details. Save.

Device Tracking Management on left side:
Click Devices, Add in top right.
Fill in your device details
Important: Make sure you select the site from the "Site Name" dropdown - NOT none.

Click Settings under Configuration near bottom left. Click Device Tracking tab.
Fill in the info on this page to your liking. If you want to begin gathering data *now*, be careful to set the Start Time to something soon, *not* something in the past or distant future.
Save

Also, and I'm not sure if this is important, but you *may* have to increase the script timeout value under the Poller Settings.

Settings:Poller:Script and Script Server Timeout Value (I set mine to 300 [shrug])

It seems that MacTrack can take a while to update things, and I started losing updates to my graphs.

So if this happens to you.. start poking around with the timers.

I think the funktion with Cisco IOS is OK. But CatOS devices (Cisco 2980, Cisco 4000, Cisco 6000 Hybrid mode,...) are not be able to mactrack. You can see my summary:
