First, some vocabulary!

I Agent: a software running one a computerI Server: a software that can speak with the AgentI Task: an action done by the Agent for the server

pull / push

FusionInventory supports ”push” and ”pull”

I ”pull”: Agent =⇒ Serverthe agent creates the connection to the server.

I ”push”: Agent⇐= Serverthe server awake the agent by itself.

Tasks

Different Tasks are supported:I InventoryI Network discoveryI Remote SNMP inventoryI Software deploymentI vCenter/ESX/ESXi remote inventoryI Wake On Lan

Servers today

4 different servers (so far!)

SNMP: History

History of SNMP

I Standard protocoleFirst RFC: 1988

I Created for monitoring devicesI Three different version 1, 2c, 3 (Encryption)I OID: an address per informationI MIB: definition of OID addresses

SNMP: For what?

How we use SNMP?

I Identify devices remotly (switch, router, printer...)I Inventory devices using SNMPI Get all important information

SNMP: The MIB nightmare?

All people say us: MIB exist use it!

Yes but...I Most of the time hard to findI Not always free (like in FreeSoftware)I Important information may be missingI Worst! They are sometime wrong depending on

device model/firmware

















SNMP: An example

Example: Cisco 6500 firmware

12.2(33)SXI2a (02-Sep-09 01:00)I Serial OID:

.1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.11.112.2(33)SXI3 (27-Oct-09 11:12)

I Serial OID:.1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.11.2⇐=Gni?!

SNMP: dead teletubbies

FAILS...

SNMP: How do we unfuck this mess?

We create our own MIB like files

I XML filesI Relation between OID and information

e.g: serial number is oid .1.3...I Simple or dynamic OID

a serial number or name of each port

SNMP: Network switch (1/3)

Network switch

I Serial numberI ManufacturerI ModelI FirmwareI Mac addressI CPU/RAM loadI etc


Switch port

I NameI Network speedI Port status (enabled / disabled)I Errors input & outputI VLANI Trunk (tagged)I Active connection


Connections per port

I Mac addressesone or many on some case

I LLDP and CDP neighborhooddialog and information between switches

SNMP: What results for switch?

SNMP: Printer (1/2)

Get printer information

I Serial numberI ManufacturerI ModelI FirmwareI MemoryI Mac addressI etc

SNMP: Printer (2/2)

Additional important information

I Get cartridges ink levelI Page counter

SNMP: What result for printer?

vCenter/ESX/ESXi

The issueYou can NOT run an agent on these machines.

vCenter/ESX/ESXi

The solutionFusionInventory is able to connect to the machine usingVMware SOAP API to get:

I Hardware inventoryI VirtualMachine list

vCentervCenter are an interface in front of a group of ESX/ESXi.

I Hardware inventoryI ESX/ESXi inventories

vCenter/ESX/ESXi: command line

fus ioninventory−esx −−host vcenter −−user foo \−−password bar −−directory /tmp

Then you can push the generated files in the server:

fus ioninventory−i n jecto r −v −− f i l e /tmp/∗ . ocs \−u https : / / g lp i / plugins / fus ioninventory /

vCenter/ESX/ESXi: from GLPI

You can drive the ESXinventory directly from GLPI

Perl: Why Perl?

A nice tool to do the job

I A lot of data processingI Some complexe data structure to deal withI Few low level access

Test-Suite, aka, the boring stuff we love

How to test untestable stuff to improve quality

I SSL certificat check for client: fire up a web serverwith SSL and run test

What FusionInventory can bring to developers?

Different levels of integration

I Use directly the FusionInventory ModulesI Call and interact with the agentI Build your solution on top of GLPI using webservices

What FusionInventory can bring to me?

Why JSON (2/2)

REST/JSON benefit!

I Way simplerI Already a standard in the IT management world

Puppet, OPSI, etcI Very small CPU/memory footprintI REST is easier to debugI REST is test-suite friendly using Test::HTTP::Server::Simple
