Hi,
I believe we recently squashed a bug around the setting of VLANs on
ports. Please would you upgrade (both App::Netdisco and SNMP::Info) and
try again?
~netdisco/bin/localenv cpanm --notest SNMP::Info App::Netdisco
~netdisco/bin/netdisco-daemon restart
regards,
oliver.

I haven't used this feature since I upgraded to 2.0 but I tried to

with snmp.
What else should I check?

Hi E,

the daemon?
Sorry for the lack of response. To get additional logging out of the
daemon you need to stop and restart it with some new settings and
environment parameters:
add this to your config:
log: "debug"
~netdisco/bin/netdisco-daemon stop
INFO_TRACE=1 ~netdisco/bin/netdisco-daemon start
That should send a lot more output to
~netdisco/logs/netdisco-daemon.log
You can compare this to running netdisco-do using its debug flags as
documented:

Hey:
If I look in my job "Undiscovered Devices" report, I see devices
that I think should be discovered. If I go the the CLI and launch
a discovery with a ./bin/netdisco-do discover -D -d w.x.y.z, it
completes seemingly successfully. If I then go launch a discovery
via the web interface, the job reports failure in the job queue.
The error is "could not SNMP connect to w.x.y.z". snmpwalks and
CLI discoveries seem fine but the demonized discoveries and manually
triggered web interface discoveries generate errors.
Is there a difference between the two? Is there some log I can
look at to get more insight into why the web is failing? The vast
majority of discoveries to the same kinds of devices on the same
network are successful either way.

Ah, hang on, have you installed the system packages requested in
the
docs, particularly the net-snmp package? This is not Perl via CPAN,
it's
an RPM or .deb (if you're on Linux):
On Ubuntu/Debian:
root:~# apt-get install libdbd-pg-perl libsnmp-perl build-essential
On Fedora/Red-Hat:
root:~# yum install perl-core perl-DBD-Pg net-snmp-perl make
automake
gcc
Yeah, I did that.
On my particular system (RHEL7) I had to yum install net-snmp-devel
as
well in order to get the net-snmp-config command.
Probably you should add that to your documentation.

Personally, I *REALLY* like that Netdisco 2 is completely encapsulated now on
my FreeBSD server.
I don't need a port, and I don't need to worry about system-wide dependencies
except for the well-established & ported Perl packages.
The way I see it, App::Netdisco is a very tidy & well-behaved Perl app - I'm
confident I could run it on any OS that supports Perl properly. =)
Thanks Oliver!
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays,
-KJ

Subject: Re: [Netdisco] Netdisco on FreeBSD
Hi all,
This is a good discussion to have, it's helpful for the project to see the
different needs and opinions.
Personally I've shied away from encouraging any packaging of App::Netdisco.
There are various reasons, including support overhead for the core team (even
if others maintain the packages), but also that I worry if we want to change
the method of installation/upgrade radically at some point, we could get stuck
(see sf.net issue #21).
But perhaps most of all I prefer the ability we have to push point releases
relatively frequently, via CPAN, and have users execute a painless upgrade. As
can be seen from the changelog and issue tracker, the stream of fixes and
features might continue for some time yet, and most OS packaging systems don't
deal with this constant-updating very well.
(I have no problem reassessing this opinion in the future, changing my mind, or
having others still have a go at packaging right now, of
course.)
Just my 2p.
regards,
oliver.

A good hint, in fact my problems seems to be permission related. I used a user
for executing netdisco commands, that had not the correct rights.
Here an example, see the different location, the config watcher looks:
If I restart the netdisco-daemon with my user, everything is fine:
####################
netdisco@ubuntu:~$ bin/netdisco-daemon restart
config watcher: sending TERM to the server (pid:4627)...
Netdisco Daemon [Stopped]
config watcher: watching /home/netdisco/environments for updates.
Netdisco Daemon [Started]
####################
If I restart the netdisco-daemon with my user that I sudoed before, the path,
where netdisco is looking for the configuration file moves....
####################
root@ubuntu:~# bin/netdisco-daemon restart
config watcher: sending TERM to the server (pid:1400)...
Netdisco Daemon [Stopped]
Netdisco Daemon [Started]
config watcher: watching
/home/netdisco/perl5/lib/perl5/auto/share/dist/App-Netdisco/environments for
updates.

I got Netdisco 2 running on NetBSD-7_BETA on an amd64 virtual machine this
morning.
>From Kris Jacobs in another email, high level steps to get Netdisco 2
running on FreeBSD:
Install Perl5.20 from ports
Install Perl DBD:Pg from ports
Install Perl SNMP from ports
Create the netdisco user
Install PostgreSQL from ports, configure, start database server, create
netdisco database
Make sure PgSQL starts at boot up, add to /etc/rc.conf:
postgresql_enable="YES"
Change to the netdisco user
Install & configure, start Netdisco-daemon, start Netdisco-web
Log into web interface and enjoy!
This is basically the same set of steps for NetBSD except for some NetBSD
specifics:
1. Not all of these packages exist in binary form yet with pkgin (for
NetBSD-7_BETA anyway). I installed everything I could with pkgin including
manually installing dependencies that were rolled back when a certain
package didn't exist. Then I installed the rest from the latest stable
pkgsrc source tarball.
2. When installing postgresqlXX-server, it creates the pgsql user with the
nologin shell. As root, do vipw and change the shell to /bin/sh, or
whichever shell you want, so you can do the createuser step for postgresql
using the pgsql user.
3. pgtune doesn't seem to work on NetBSD. I'll have to figure out some
other way to tune postgresql. But for now,, postgresql works with it's
standard setup. Under load, I'm sure it won't be good.
4. Probably I forgot a few things.
I expected it would need some hacks to get it working, but it didn't which
is a testament to the correctness of the Netdisco 2 install. It wasn't
always working very good, but in the last month or 2 I think it's pretty
good.
Thanks Kris, and thanks especially to Oliver.
I might put a NetBSD machine into production just to annoy the Linux people
:)
OpenBSD anyone?
Andy
