Contribution: miscellaneous models about oxidized HOT 10 OPEN

Dell advice to script using HTTP API for Dell EMC PowerVault ME4024.
Dell give an example in python here: it's a little bit complicated for me.

from oxidized.

I was able to wrote a model for Dell EMC PowerVault ME4024 which use the HTTP API.

I'm inspired from:

• the panos_api.rb model
• a python-to-ruby online converter to convert Dell sample code documentation.

I choose to use JSON (with indentation) and not XML.
I don't notice stability problem.

If you think your models can be integrated in Oxidized, please make a PR: https://github.com/ytti/oxidized/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#how-to-contribute-content
Also consider becoming a model maintainer for them:
https://github.com/ytti/oxidized/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#model-maintainers

If you just want your contribution to be posted here for users to see them (no integration in Oxidized), I would close the issue.

As explain in other issue, I'm sorry I'm not familiar with Git/Github/Ruby: create models for oxidized was my first experience with ruby.
And as I will change of job this year, I will not be able to maintain all my contributions.

If you let this issue open, i will maybe add 2 others models (i'm looking for a way to backup Dell Drac and Canon Printer with Oxidized). And i would like to wrote a FAQ.

I was not able to create models for Canon Printer/Fiery ...

I'm working now on Dell iDrac (7/8/9) model : i'm using RESTful API.
https://dl.dell.com/manuals/common/dell-emc-restful-server-config-idrac-api.pdf
Dell give sample of code in python (page 10 and next.)
But I don't find how to use payload on http request with oxidized.

from oxidized.

I succeed to wrote a Dell iDrac 7/8/9 model :-)
It's use HTTPS Rest Api: you need to enable Redfish on iDrac if you disable it.

Tested on:

• Dell iDRAC9 / FW 7.00 / Suggested timeout: 30s
• Dell iDRAC8 / FW 2.85 / Suggested timeout: 120s
• Dell iDRAC7 / FW 2.65 / Suggested timeout: 120s

This model don't only export iDrac configuration but also : Bios, LifeCycle, Raid, Nic.
Passwords are not included: you can modified it if you need.
Export format is set on XML.
iDrac 5/6 not support this API.
iDrac 7/8 need FW 2.40.

I discovered that Oxidized use/include Mechanize library: which permit to simulate HTML4 Web navigator.
But the Canon printer login page use a javascript button to crypt password and next login...
Mechanize not support Javascript.
Someone have a advice ?

I succeed to wrote a model for Canon printer iR-ADV in 2 parts:

• part 1: init export (could take 2-5 min).
• part 2: download file.
  I execute part1 on all my printers, and next i execute part2.

I was forced to use Watir: there is a lot of javascript on Canon web interface.
Watir is not integrated to oxidized but call by it: so error are not well managed.

But it's works well.
Each part take 20-30s: it's more efficient than wait 2-5 min export per device.

I use oxidized docker version, so i install:

1. watir: 'gem install watir webdrivers'
2. firefox: install firefox-esr from debian-src (best choice) or firefox-current from mozilla depot
3. geckodriver:

• apt install wget
• wget https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/download/v0.34.0/geckodriver-v0.34.0-linux64.tar.gz
• tar -xvf geckodriver-v0.34.0-linux64.tar.gz
• mv geckodriver /usr/bin

Tested on 25 devices:

• Canon iRADV C257 / FW 35.44
• Canon iRADV C5550 / FW 75.44
• Canon iRADV C5735 / FW 35.44
• Canon iRADV C5840 / FW 25.49

My canonimp models were creating performance issues because they wouldn't close the browser.
They close it now if:

• the device cannot be reached (a message is displayed on logs)
• export is in progress (a message is displayed on logs)
• at the end of processing

Sorry, but it does not close browser in all others cases: you will need to restart oxidized (or killall geckodriver/firefox manually).

Files are now removed at the end from the download folder.
Some comments have been added.

I also create model for Fiery P2 (should work with some others linux base models).
As interface used a lot of javascript, it used watir (+ firefox + geckodriver) and zlib (export use 2 seperates files).
It take beteween 30s to 1min.
It was tested on Canon iR-ADV C5700 with Fiery P2 PSv1.1 (web interface v3.2.94).

Based on Linux model, i wrote a specific model for Quest QoreStor 7.x (installed on CentOS 8.x).
