Re: [Netdisco] Migrating a database

[Basti S. <der...@gm...>]

Hi John,

We make it this way:

Very important: Update the current Netdisco instance to the same version as
the new one!!

Create database backup on the current Netdisco VM

Stop the Netdisco services
Dump the database
~/bin/netdisco-web stop ~/bin/netdisco-backend stop pg_dump -U netdisco -h
localhost -c -Fc netdisco > netdisco.dump


Transfer the dump file to the new machine, for example with WinSCP
File location: /tmp/netdisco.dump


Import the dump on the new Netdisco instance

Stop the Netdisco services
Drop the current Netdisco database

Create a new Netdisco database
Restore the database dump file to the new database

sudo su - postgres psql -U postgres -d postgres -c "DROP DATABASE netdisco;"

psql -U postgres -d postgres -c "CREATE DATABASE netdisco;"
pg_restore -d netdisco ../../../tmp/netdisco.dump

exit

Regards,
Bastian

[Netdisco] Migrating a database

[Johnnie A. <jx...@ua...>]

Hi, folks,

     I recently was asked to migrate a NetDisco instance. I built a new
instance, added a couple of users, and all looked well. Then I imported--or
tried to--the data. The load appears to have failed.

     Is there a particular place in the build of the new instance when the
old data should be loaded?

Thanks,

Re: [Netdisco] Add serial number from servers and workstations to Netdisco's devices (v2)

[Carsten E. <ce...@ce...>]

Hi,

The “model” property can also be accessed via ‘e_model’—so I expanded the patch for "model" and also added a check to ensure that an already defined property is not overwritten, with the exception of the special case of the static “linux” model, which would be replaced by an explicit setting if any. The patch now looks like this:

[Netdisco] Add serial number from servers and workstations to Netdisco's devices

[Carsten E. <ce...@ce...>]

Hi,

The Perl SNMP library provides a general mechanism for retrieving the serial number of servers and workstations via the "SNMP::Info::Layer3::NetSNMP" class, rather than using the manufacturers' own OIDs as it is normally the case with switches. Specifically, the string from the OID ‘entPhysicalDescr’ is searched for the pattern “/serial#?:\s*([a-z0-9]+)/i” (see perl5/lib/perl5/SNMP/Info/Entity.pm around line 131); if this pattern is found, the match is used as serial number. This would work perfectly well if the developers of the Perl SNMP library and those of Netdisco had agreed on the name of the function to retrieve the serial number obtained in this way. In the library, this is “e_serial” while Netdisco always uses “serial” The below patch resolves this discrepancy. This patch is successfully used in a server installation where replacement servers were sometimes deployed to temporarily replace faulty hardware. The goal is to be able to track the hardware using the serial number, and there is indeed a dedicated field for this in the Neighbors map popup. However, without this patch, that field remains empty. For some servers and workstations, additional steps may be required to ensure that the OID “entPhysicalDescr” returns a valid and parseable version string, for example, by using the “pass” directive in the snmpd configuration.

[Netdisco] Snapshot and loadmibs

[Thomthom 3. <cep...@gm...>]

Hello, i'm working with ND for months, but still don't understand snapshot
function and why with ND v2.97.3 snapshots end with timeout on HPE 552O
Switches.
I can see snapshot is necessary for web based snmp browsing.
I'm also observing that snapshots, even succeeding (on a HPE 3600) seem to
cancel the loadmibs, SNMP web page saying "no mib objects"...
... and loadmibs cancels snapshots...
Any one to explain this to me ?

Re: [Netdisco] Active Directory authentication

[Michael B. <mi...@bu...>]

Thanks for sharing Paul, that's pretty interesting, I was looking into
doing something like that a while back in posts here using oauth2-proxy as
well with entra for a customer, but I wasn't getting anywhere, and customer
wasn't really using Netdisco much to waste much more time on it.

I was annoyed enough that I did spend some time researching with AI the
code to extending the Netdisco login system to do proper group
authorization and role mapping with Claude to run with building it, and
seemed pretty doable, but wasn't sure how folks would receive that (ie. ai
slop-y), seeing I'm not a developer, and really couldn't tell you good from
bad code aside from does it work or not and pass audits.

Since then, I've been working on my own pet code projects getting into
development more with claude-code and codex before I start trying to
contribute upstream patches to established projects, but at some point
might get back to Netdisco as its lack of full aaa has annoyed me for a
decade or two. Claude-Code and more recently Codex has been quite effective
in building me a full distributed client/server mcp setup I use regularly
now, and since have a better idea how oauth functions having integrated my
own services to work to be more useful to apply to ND.

Re: [Netdisco] Active Directory authentication

[Mackie, P. <Pau...@ge...>]

I put netdisco behind Azure Web App Proxy, using 2 groups (netdisco-admins and netdisco-operators).

The Azure Web App Proxy handles Entra authentication and conditional access policies, then passes the relevant group name to netdisco using the X-REMOTE-USER HTTP header. 2 local netdisco users exist which match the Entra group names.

No need for netdisco to be aware of individual users this way. Also this approach allows you to securely expose netdisco to Internet without any port forwarding.

Maybe this helps you, it works well for us but I would also prefer something that didn't abuse using roles as usernames ideally.

Best regards,

Paul Mackie

Hello,
 
  
 
I’m not sure, it works reliably for me on AOS-8 and AOS-10 devices. Note that the serial number field will remain unpopulated, you should see a new field called ‘Aruba AP Serial’ if you followed my approach below. You will also see ‘Hook::exec’ jobs in the Job Queue, as this custom field is queried outside of the normal discovery.
 
  
 
As for how to proceed, I’m not really sure what to advise, but I would check those Hook::exec jobs are running first.

Probably not the answer you are looking for, but I gave up to some extent and went for the custom field like shown below.  This works for all our IAP’s whether virtual controllers or members.
 
 
 
host_groups:
 
  aruba_access_points:
 
    - 'os:airos'
 
 
 
host_group_displaynames:
 
  aruba_access_points: 'Aruba APs'

      label: 'Aruba AP Serial'
 
      snmp_object: 'AI-AP-MIB::aiAPSerialNum'
 
      only: 'group:aruba_access_points'
 
 
 
Would be great if we could also pull all the AP info such as SSID and connected clients etc on Instant AP’s just like we can with real controllers. It is exposed by SNMP but Netdisco doesn’t see it. That’s not related to your issue though.

The few that now have serial number information turn out to be the IAP devices elected as the virtual controller for each of our Aruba Central groups.

You will also see 'Hook::exec' jobs in the Job Queue, as this custom field is queried outside of the normal discovery.

As for how to proceed, I'm not really sure what to advise, but I would check those Hook::exec jobs are running first.

Subject: Re: [Netdisco] Aruba Instant AP Serial Number Help

Paul, I have added those to my deployment.yml plus installed jq support but still don't get serial number info on any of the Aruba IAPs other than the virtual controllers. Should I purge the database or start with a fresh install of Netdisco?

My Unifi, Liebert / Vertiv, Fortinet and HP network devices all have the serial number column populated.

Thanks your time and assistance

Thank you for that, Paul



I have modified my deployment.yml to include your settings and am waiting for the results. By chance did you make modifications to your aruba.pm or is it the default?



BTW, I'm on Netdisco version 2.097002, aruba.my and aruba-instant.my are tagged ArubaOS 8.13.1.0_93688 if that makes a difference.



Thanks again for the help

Would be great if we could also pull all the AP info such as SSID and connected clients etc on Instant AP's just like we can with real controllers. It is exposed by SNMP but Netdisco doesn't see it. That's not related to your issue though.

Re: [Netdisco] Referencing an external database?

[Christian R. <ram...@ne...>]

Hi

Yes there is something called "custom fields", which you can set on 
various things:

https://github.com/netdisco/netdisco/wiki/Configuration#custom_fields

E.g. we use this to put some information from ACI/APIC into the datbase, 
with sql like

UPDATE device_port
   SET custom_fields = jsonb_set custom_fields, '{dn}', 
'"topology/pod-1/node-102/sys/phys-[eth1/26]"' ::jsonb
WHERE ip = '10.5.1.22' AND port = 'Ethernet1/26';


The tricky bit is when and how to run this SQL. The best option is to 
put it into a discover hook 
(https://github.com/netdisco/netdisco/wiki/Configuration#hooks), it will 
run whenever a device is freshly discovered or updated.

Another option is to use "external links": 
<https://github.com/netdisco/netdisco/wiki/Configuration#external_links>. 
As the name suggests they don't show attributes directly but just add a 
link to another system, but they are easier to deal with. Plus they work 
for nodes as well while custom fields currently don't.

Cheers
Christian

[Netdisco] Referencing an external database?

[Johnson, N. M <nei...@ui...>]

Is there a way to integrate data from an external database into Netdisco?

I'd like to include information for our facilities management system so that when someone looks up a node or device  they can see information like the jack, room, and building information for the switch port.'

Is there a way to do this? I'm willing to put some effort to figure it out.


Thanks!
-Neil

Subject: [Netdisco] need quick way to run ip inventory report for multiple subnets

 

Hi,

 

I have no familiarity with Netdisco API and I’m looking at the Wiki 😊

However, I do know how to run the IP Inventory report from UI and I’d like to automate reporting for multiple subnets.

Is there an easy way to do this, and have the report written to csv? 

 

My results URL looks something like this:

 

https://netdisco /report/ipinventory?subnet=10.45.136.0%2F21&daterange=1970-01-01%20to%202026-01-21&limit=8192

 

 

the download as CSV URL looks something like this:

 

https://netdisco /ajax/content/report/ipinventory?subnet=10.45.136.0%2F21&daterange=1970-01-01+to+2026-01-21&limit=8192

 

regards

Christian
