The reason I ask this is the following:

Code:

DEBUG: SQL: REPLACE INTO mac_track_ips (site_id,device_id,hostname,description,port_number,mac_address,ip_address,scan_date) VALUES ('1','16','192.168.1.3','CR-01','1','00:00:10:00:00:00','7F:00:00:34','2006-07-12 21:03:13')

Then I am totally at a loss here.

One of my coworkers is running the Cacti-EZ cd and it runs mactrack just fine. We're only seeing this issue on a cacti install (0.6.8h with patches) that we did by hand. I'll have to diff it tomorrow when I am back in the office and not running out of battery over VPN.

It may be that your snmp config is returning data with the incorrect mib type. This can be corrected by setting the MIBS environment variable to something simple like "RFC-1215.xxx" where xxx represents your mib extension.

Give that a try.

Ok, so here's the trick, you need to open a console and run each device in debug mode. Here is the syntax:

Code:
>php mactrack_scanner.php -h
Network Mac Tracker Version 1.0, Copyright 2005 - Larry Adams

usage: mactrack_device.php -id=host_id [-d] [-h] [--help] [-v] [--version]

-id=host_id   - the mac_track_devices host_id to scan
-d            - Display verbose output during execution
-t            - Test mode, don't log a process id and interfere with system
-v --version  - Display this help message
-h --help     - display this help message

So, if the switch in question is a L3 switch, and definately for the router run the command using the "-d" option. Post the results.

I actually wrote a perl script, to take care of this, and then setup a cronjob to run it automagically.


my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:mysql:<DBNAME>", "<UID>", "<PASS>");

my $sth = $dbh->prepare(<<SQL);
select device_id
from mac_track_devices
SQL
$sth->execute;

while (my @row = $sth->fetchrow_array()) {
my ($device) = @row;
system "php /cacti-0.8.6h/plugins/mactrack/mactrack_scanner.php -id=$device 2>&1 >/dev/null";
}

Yes, but by doing that, you loose all the other processing that goes on in the poller_mactrack.php function that does all the consolidation and additional detailed reporting.... In addition, mactrack gives you a real good if not poorly written way of monitoring progress of you scanning real time.

I still have the poller running. Just when i need to startup new devices or similar, i run it this way, since you can't run it by hand w/o specifying the device_id.

Oh, ok. Np then...

I am thinking that the environment variable MIBS=RFC-1215 will make the output look better.

Actually, when I get around to it, I have added a sort module to Cacti 0.8.6i that you should be able to take advantage of once we release it. Won't be soon enough for some, I know.

No difference what so ever.
export MIBS=RFC-1215.txt
then i ran both mactrack_scanner and poller_mactrack on all devices.

I'm completely at a loss as to what is going on.

I am not sure whether it makes any difference, but we have VoIP phones (on seperate vlan and subnet) which our desktop computers plug into, so there will be 2 IP and MAC's off of each desktop switch (DS-#) port.

does anyone have the correct Object ID OID for a cisco 2950 and 3560 switch running IOS? (and a 4500 or 6000 if also)

i'm thinking something might be going on with that, if at all possible.

Okay, i have the plugin installed, some devices created and can manual poll using the id # but they don't seem to be updating. I think I have missed a step somewhere. Do I need to use something other than cactid for this to update?

Thanks!

This is because as witness said, when you don't run the mactrack_poller.php you loose alot of the functions.

so you want to setup a cronjob for your mactrack_poller.php to run.


quick way to test it out by hand is

php /cacti/plugins/mactrack/mactrack_poller.php
