New install trying to get sorted, I've only got one device in the devicelist.csv so I can test this out. However, I'm running into a problem when running netdbctl -ud -v, its giving a permission denied error. can you shed some light? Here's the debug:

Hey,
That is odd but it does sound like a permission problem. Do an ls -l on /opt/netdb/netdbscraper/ directory and see what it looks like. You want to make sure the netdb user has access to everything. When you run netdbctl, it changes to the netdb user so you might want to try suing to the netdb user and see how it goes. You can also run the scraper manually with that command above in the debug:
/opt/netdb/netdbscraper/procurvehpscraper.pl -debug 3 -d vr-idf1-01.cbr.com,devtype=procurvehp,arp,devtype=procurvehp
See how that goes. Also on this forum you'll find that another guy has put a lot of work in to an updated scraper for HP devices. If you get the permissions strait, you might want to check out his work if you have trouble scraping your devices.

You got it, the procurvehpscraper.pl had a different set of permissions...no execute for any of the rolls. There was indeed an issue scrapping so I'll check out his threads. Appreciate your help, love it when it's a simple fix.
Hey,
Glad that worked, but as far as your scraper issues, I just added that other scraper to the repository. You can get it from here or run an svn update in /opt/netdb/:
https://sourceforge.net/p/netdbtracking/code/HEAD/tree/branches/netdb-1.12/netdbscraper/procurvehpv2scraper.pl
I also fixed the permission error, I'm not sure how that got introduced.
