 ====== ipdevpoll plugins ====== ====== ipdevpoll plugins ======
 +FIXME This page really needs a standard way to write about plugins.
 +
 +The following plugins exists for ipdevpoll:
  
 ===== ARP ===== ===== ARP =====
Line 9: Line 12:
   * Stores all shadow objects that does not exist in the database already. Ie: If there'​s a row with the same netboxid, ip, mac and end_time = '​infinity'​ the new record will not be stored.   * Stores all shadow objects that does not exist in the database already. Ie: If there'​s a row with the same netboxid, ip, mac and end_time = '​infinity'​ the new record will not be stored.
   * All existing records with end_time = '​infinity'​ that are not found on this run will be timed out, ie: end_time will be set to the current time.   * All existing records with end_time = '​infinity'​ that are not found on this run will be timed out, ie: end_time will be set to the current time.
 +
 +===== CAM =====
 +  * Collects dynamic CAM records for level 2 and level 3 devices.
 +  * Uses community string indexing if it's needed for the netbox. Will also try community string indexing if we're not certain and there exists vlans on the box.
 +  * Stores all new records in the database.
 +  * If a record is not found, we set an end_time to the existing record and start counting misses (miss count).
 +  * If the miss count exceeds the maximum (default 3) we consider the record closed.
 +  * Closed records have end time != infinity and miss count == null.
 +  * If however the record is found before the maximum miss count is exceeded, we reset miss count to 0 and end time to infinity.
  
 ===== DNS name ===== ===== DNS name =====
 +  * Performs reverse DNS lookups on netbox IP addresses
 +  * Generates events if there'​s a missmatch between the reverse DNS lookup and the stored sysname.
  
 ===== Interfaces ===== ===== Interfaces =====
 +  * Polls all interfaces from a given netbox.
 +  * Compares collected list of interfaces to what's stored in the database.
 +  * New interfaces are stored.
 +  * If a interface in the database was not found on the netbox during this run, it is marked as missing (timestamped to the current time).
  
 ===== Prefix ===== ===== Prefix =====
Line 18: Line 36:
   * Fallback to ipAddrTable if no reply on ipAddressTable   * Fallback to ipAddrTable if no reply on ipAddressTable
   * Tries CISCO-IETF-MIB (cIpAddressTable) if no reply on '​ipAddressTable'​   * Tries CISCO-IETF-MIB (cIpAddressTable) if no reply on '​ipAddressTable'​
- 
-===== Static Routes ===== 
  
 ===== TypeOID ===== ===== TypeOID =====
 +  * Retrieves sysObjectID from the netbox and compares it to what's stored in the database.
 +  * The database table "​type"​ is used to map sysObjectId to vendor and the netbox type.
 +  * FIXME Not implemeted: Posts an event if there'​s a missmatch between stored type and the retrieved type and updates the database.
  
 ===== Vlan ===== ===== Vlan =====
 +  * Retrieves vlan from switches and stuff.
