If ipmitool is available, we should parse its output to:

• create the IPMI IP
• associate it to a "IPMI" Interface on the Device
• set it as management

the agent is recognizing Supermicro SYS-1029U-E1CRTP-2-LL09G as a chassis. This should be a 1U service not a chassis. Is there a specific override that I can set in the config file? I don't have any chassis in my infra.

Also identifying any servers with motherboard X11SPW-TF as a blade.

i am using the master branch with the manual applied fixes from the "fix" branch

So, memory, disk, network, CPU all nice and neat.. NVME is also partially included - I have another node that has this..

It doesn't use dmi to do this, it uses the output of lshw to collect it.

I think I need to make the asset tags unique, so I was going to make it 'hostname:part'

A server can see its attributes change over the time, it's a normal lifecycle

A few examples are:

• It can move from a rack to another rack or from a chassis to another one
• new hostname
• have a new NIC cards, remove old ones
• change IPs on current cards
• have more RAM, more disk (see #8)

As identified in #149, the agent crashed with the following output

I'm pretty embarrassed to ask this but I've spent hours trying to sort this out with no luck.

I get

Use the same code as datacenter awareness for rack

We should try to make sure configuration's file arguments can be passed as CLI arguments like Kubernetes binaries

We should also enable specific behaviors like:

• --create-missing: create missing blade chassis, network NICs, VLAN, IP, etc
• --update-all
• --update-{rack,datacenter,network,inventory}

Netbox has the ability to flag an IP as Primary address for a Device

Since it's tied to the user workflow, I'd say we could enable this guess with a config argument and use the following workflow

• parse the route table
• find the source ip of the default route
• flag this IP as Primary adresss

At some point, Netbox versions will depreciate or change some behavior.
The project has been developed with Netbox 2.6

One way to change the behavior depending of the version will be to match the HTTP header API-Version:

➜  ~ curl -i https://netbox.company.com/api/
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx
Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2019 15:58:27 GMT
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 325
Connection: keep-alive
Vary: Accept, Cookie, Origin
Allow: GET, HEAD, OPTIONS
API-Version: 2.6
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
P3P: CP="ALL DSP COR PSAa PSDa OUR NOR ONL UNI COM NAV"

And enable them in tox

It would be great at some point if we could create packages for this project so it's easier for lazy sysadmins to install the agent

I assume that not everybody is a fan of installing packages and dependencies through pip

If Debian/RPM/etc packages were available it'd be a nice addition!

We should parse lldp output and handle as many cases as possible in order to connection between server's interface and switch's interface

A few snippets to work on some Windows support, a good way to make netbox-agent portable

https://www.activexperts.com/admin/scripts/wmi/python/0047/
http://timgolden.me.uk/python/wmi/wmi.html

Working with the beta, the interfaces types changed.. So that is some that needs to be fixed. Not sure what else is broken.

The server should report its NICs to netbox with MAC addresses, speed (if known) and type of connector

Right now, the agent doesn't handle anycast IPs

If you two servers run the agent in update mode, the IP will move from one server to another in a loop.
So we'd require the user to manually create the IP in Netbox with the Anycast role so that the agent behave like this:

• If IP exists and is in Anycast, create a new Anycast one
• If IP exists and isn't assigned, take it
• If server is decomissioned, the free IP will be taken

Describe the bug
If a device already has interfaces with no MAC set (e.g. device type template interfaces) netbox-agent bails out. It seems it can't find the interface because it's searching by mac&name. I think it should be searching by device&name since this is enough to uniquely identify interfaces.

Expected behavior
MAC address should be updated for existing interfaces.

This is the patch I applied to get it to work for me. This probably breaks other stuff but at least shows what I mean.

The project uses the Python netifaces library
Right now we use netifaces like this:

netifaces.ifaddresses(interface).get(netifaces.AF_INET)

We also need to query netifaces.AF_INET6 to get IPv6 addresses
It should work out of the box for Netbox as it handles IPv4 and IPv6 the same way in the API

Hi
could you update config.py, so it can work with self-signed certificates?
Proposal:

• add an option to netbox-agent: --ignore-ssl-verify

Modifications (in addition of adding the option):

• in config.py line line 1

import requests
import urllib3
urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)

then line 80:

if (no_ssl_verify):
    session = requests.Session()
    session.verify = False

nb = pynetbox.api(
     url=get_config().netbox.url,
     token=get_config().netbox.token
)
if (no_ssl_verify):
    nb.http_session = session
return nb

Thanks!

We shouldn't hardcode the behavior of network interface discovery and instead use parameters in the configuration file to let the user choose what they want to ignore

That way we will manage corner cases of users having loopback IP (ipvs, bgp etc)
And also create vlan interfaces, which is not working right now

I propose something like:

network:
  ignore_interfaces: "(dummy.*|docker.*)"
  ignore_ips: "(127\.0\.0\..*)"

Hiya there,

Trying to run this, it causes an error due to the _choices being removed in Netbox v2.8.0, as listed here
netbox-community/netbox#3416

So currently when updating I see the error *api/dcim/_choices/ could not be found.

Can we update to use the new OPTIONS method?

We need to see what the scripts does (create, update, delete), logging should be mandatory

I suggest that an example be added that shows how to invoke the netbox-agent from the cli and/or Python shell.
I believe this would make the user-base larger.

If you move a blade from a chassis to another chassis, we need to decomission the old one and update the new location

Got several different Supermicro's, here's some dmi information:

This is a Fat twin (4u, 8 nodes)

it's missing the slot information... not filled in; so we've been setting part of the hostname to chassis slot ie, the hostname is row-rack-chassis-node aka 'd8-r13-c1-n1' - row d8, rack 13, chassis 1, node 1

I also prefer to use the base board for the blade type, not the system information product name. allows me to keep the chassis separate from the blades.

Power DMI; there is actually 4 power supplies in this chassis, but
two are for 4 nodes, and the other 2 are for a different node.

After getting the fixed code from #117 i still have issues but on other location. We definitely need more "catches" of errors.

Will check this script later on my X10 chassis. We also have X11 chassis, but havent tested there.

In particular, the UCS series)

For those that always want their Netbox 100% up-to-date, a cron-mode could be provided so that every agent fills in a last update date while another mechanism on the Netbox-side would be in charge of removing expired resources.

Some manufacturers doesn't not let us find if a server is a blade programatically

In order to let the user manage this his way, we need to let it handle this case with CLI/config parameters like:

--is-blade
--chassis <S/N of the chassis>
--blade-slot "Slot 01"

handles #149 case

I think it's mandatory to create the Device (chassis / blade / server) within a datacenter and if possible within a rack.

The problem is that there's no generic way to get these infos because it's not a standard like dmidecode. Each company has its own nomenclature and from what I can see, the info can be in:

• a hostname (ie: web-42.nyc)
• a file (ie: /etc/server_infos)
• a saltstack grain (ie: salt-call grains.get datacenter)
• another webservice (ie: curl https://other-api.internal.company.com/server?service_tag=XXX | jq -r .datacenter)

Since netbox_agent needs to be as generic as possible, we cannot put this kind of code in the project.

We may need a configuration file for the agent (http proxy, netbox URL, api_key and so on), so we could do something like:

DATACENTER_LOCATION = '<driver>:<location>'

Some examples could be:

DATACENTER_LOCATION = 'file:/etc/server_infos'
DATACENTER_LOCATION = 'url:https://other-api.internal.company.com/server?service_tag={{ service_tag }}'
DATACENTER_LOCATION = 'cmd:hostname'
DATACENTER_LOCATION = 'cmd:lldpctl'

and a DATACENTER_LOCATION_REGEX that would extract the slug/name of the datacenter within the output.

People could add a new "driver" if needed.

Ideas?

Right if the device_type or device_role doesn't exists, it doesn't throw an obvious error, we should fix it..

Have a bailout now with the right lshw version.:

I attached the last lsow output as file

I guess we want to watch everything in netbox_agent/ and tests/.
