* Add macsuck worker to collect various PortAccessEntity (NAC) attributes * Incorporate PAE feedback on #937 * missing Result/Device.pm column added * pae_is... columns instead of pae_capabilities * moved most code to Util/PortAccessEntity.pm so the update can be done in discover and macsuck * Refactor PAE attributes during discover as separate Plugin * PortAccessEntity: don't use device->dns in log string * Fix "Experimental keys on scalar is now forbidden" test failure * Revamp pae_control and add missing attribute - device.pae_control (text) is now device.pae_is_enabled (bool) - also store pae_authconfig_port_control (port mode auto/force(un)Auth) * Fix "Experimental keys on scalar is now forbidden" test failure - ... again because of botched merge - at least perlgolfed away a set of curly braces * Update PortAccessEntity.pm * Incorporate @ollyg PR feedback * allow actions without transport to run when there are also no creds * initial refactor for separate gather, process, store phases for macsuck * factor out the vlan sanity check * additional help with log of action workers * cleanup logic in check macsuck * refactor to make main phases only * some fixes * implement file slurp. amazingly the whole thing works * remove outdated noop from test * treat error as critical, use cancel to suppress further drivers * big refactor to share mac sanity code to both paths * fix inverted logic on vlan sanity filter * some code tidy * fix error in default value * fix for vlan 0 nodes input from cli * ensure imported MACs are IEEE format * add api endpoint, no useful return status yet * exit status if error from nodes PUT * suppress other networked workers when direct workers are active * better log showing worker * fix status recording to get first error or last done message * implement arpnip API PUT * avoid package redeclaration error * make sure write API methods require admin status * add doc for passing JSON data to arpnip and macsuck * update manifest * remove option to do jobs in web handler; all by queue now * use job entry timestamp for offline queued jobs * fix store username and IP on api PUT * never de-duplicate user-submitted jobs; never reset DeviceSkip for offline jobs * myworker no longer needed * make logic cleaner Co-authored-by: Christian Ramseyer <ramseyer@netnea.com>
Netdisco is a web-based network management tool suitable for small to very large networks. IP and MAC address data is collected into a PostgreSQL database using SNMP, CLI, or device APIs. Some of the things you can do with Netdisco:
- Locate a machine on the network by MAC or IP and show the switch port it lives at
- Turn off a switch port, or change the VLAN or PoE status of a port
- Inventory your network hardware by model, vendor, software and operating system
- Pretty pictures of your network
See the demo at: https://netdisco2-demo.herokuapp.com/
Installation
Netdisco is written in Perl and is self-contained apart from the PostgreSQL database, so is very easy to install and runs well on any linux or unix system. We also have docker images if you prefer.
It includes a lightweight web server for the interface, a backend daemon to gather data from your network, and a command line interface for troubleshooting. There is a simple configuration file in YAML format.
Please check out the installation instructions on CPAN.
You can also speak to someone in the #netdisco@libera IRC channel, or on the community email list.
