netdisco.pm - Utility functions used for back and front ends
This module provides utility functions for use with netdisco in both the front and backend. Front-end specific features are limited to the mason (.html) files, and the back-end specific features are limited to netdisco.
Max Baker
Holds Database Handles, key is db name as set in config file.
Index of current Database Handle. Default 'Pg'
;
Holds config info from netdisco.conf
Holds vertex information for make_graph()
Full path to sendmail executable
This will carp()
the SQL sent off to the server for Debugging.
If running under mason, the output of carp()
goes to the Apache
Error Log. From the shell it goes to STDERR.
Note that if you set this on a MASON page, the value will remain cached across most of the current httpd proccesses. Make sure you set it back to 0 via mason when you're done, unless you like watching Apache's error_log grow.
Reason why a port would be shutdown. These get fed into port_control_log
Manipulates entries in 'node_ip' table.
Expires old entries for given IP address.
Adds new entry or time stamps matching one.
Manipulates entries in node
table.
Expires old entries matching given arguments.
Adds a new entry or time stamps matching old entry.
Manipulates entries in 'node_nbt' table.
Expires old entries for given MAC address.
Adds new entry or time stamps matching one.
Takes a CIDR style network mask in number of bits (/24) and returns the older style bitmask.
config()
Reads the config file and fills the %CONFIG
hash.
updateconfig()
Checks the modification time of the configuration file and re-reads it if needed. (Note: for now, defaults are not reset - i.e., if there was an item in the config file before, and it is missing when we reread it, it keeps its old value and doesn't get set to the default.)
Uses eval to run config, so that we can keep running with the old config if there's a problem with the config file.
Takes ascii encoded string of eight bits, and checks for the specific layer being true. Most significant bit first.
has_layer(00000100,3) = true
Returns the DNS server entry for the given ip or hostname.
Returns the IP Address of a given IP or hostname. If the given argument appears to be in dotted octet notation, it does no DNS hits and just returns it.
First argument can either be:
1. plain text IP or hostname 2. A row from the device table as returned from sql_hash
Second argument is an array ref as returned from config, eg. bulkwalk_no
.
Returns Boolean. Checks to see if IP address is in subnet. Subnet is defined as single IP address, or CIDR block. Partial CIDR format (192.168/16) is NOT supported.
in_subnet('192.168.0.0/24','192.168.0.3') = 1; in_subnet('192.168.0.3','192.168.0.3') = 1;
Returns Boolean. Checks a given IP address against all the IPs and subnet blocks listed for a config file directive.
print in_subnets('192.168.0.1','macsuck_no');
active_subnets()
Returns array ref containing all rows from the subnets table that have a node or device in them.
Serves you all the possible IP addresses in a subnet.
Returns reference to hash. Keys are IP addresses in dotted decimal that are in the subnet.
Gateway and Broadcast (.0 .255) addresses are not included.
$hash_ref = dump_subnet('192.168.0.0/24'); scalar keys %$hash_ref == 254;
Also accepted :
dump_subnet('14.0/16'); dump_subnet('4/24');
Returns Boolean. Checks if argument appears to be a mac address.
Checks for types :
08002b:010203 08002b-010203 0800.2b01.0203 08-00-2b-01-02-03 08:00:2b:01:02:03
Inserts an entry in the log
table.
log('error',"this is an error");
Sends an E-Mail as Netdisco
Takes a netmask and returns the CIDR integer number of bits.
mask_to_bits('255.255.0.0') = 16
To be run under mason only.
Returns true if the server want's to be secure and is, or true if the server doesn't want to be secure.
Returns false if the server is not secure but wants to be.
sort_ip()
Used by sort {}
calls to sort by IP octet.
If passed two hashes, will sort on the key ip
or remote_ip
.
sort_port()
Used by sort()
- Sort port names with the following formatting types :
A5 5 FastEthernet0/1 FastEthernet0/1-atm 5.5 Port:3
Works on hashes if a key named port exists.
Cheers to Bradley Baetz (bbaetz) for improvements in this sub.
make_graph()
Returns Graph::Undirected
object that represents the discovered
network.
Graph is made by loading all the device_port
entries
that have a neighbor, using them as edges. Then each device seen in those
entries is added as a vertex.
Nodes without topology information are not included.
If the given IP Address matches a device IP, returns it.
If the given IP Address matches an alias of a device, returns the IP of the device the alias belongs to.
user_add(user,%args)
Adds or changes a user account.
%args
can have key values of { pw, admin, port }
Returns error message if problem.
Deletes a user from netdisco.
Returns result from DBI->do()
Integer for number of rows deleted, or undef if error.
dbh()
Creates and returns a database handle. Creates once, then returns the cached copy.
Select database handle in use by localizing $netdisco::DB
dbh_quote($text)
Runs DBI::dbh->quote()
on the text and returns it.
hash_diff($hashref_orig,$hashref_new)
Sees if items to change in second hash are different or new compared to first.
Checks for Existing entry in table using \%matching
and either
updates or inserts into table with \%values
accodringly.
insert_or_update('device', { 'ip'=>'127.0.0.1' }, { 'ip' => '127.0.0.1', dns => 'dog' } );
First time called it will insert the new entry
Second time called it will modify the entry with the values.
Supports
* Auto Quoting of Values
Returns undef if problem.
On inserts in PostgreSQL, returns the OID of the row inserted.
Or returns value from DBD::St::execute()
Returns reference to hash. Hash has form $hash{key_val}={val_val}
If multiple matches are found for key_col, only the last one is kept.
Supports
* (NOT) NULL * Auto-Quoting Values
$OldDevices = sql_column('device',['ip','layers']);
Creates the hash %$OldDevices where the key is the IP address and the Value is the Layers
Simple wrapper to $dbh->do()
No quoting.
Returns reference to hash representing single row.
Internally calls sql_rows()
-- See for Usage.
my $hashref = sql_hash('device',['ip','ports'], {'ip'=>'127.0.0.1'});
Parses text to substitue wildcards * and ? for % and _
Optional exact_flag specifies whether or not to search for that exact text search or to do a *text*.
Default is non_exact.
Returns a reference to an array of hash references. Each hash reference is the
return of $dbh->fetchrow_hashref
Supports
* Joins * Pattern Matching * NULL/NOT NULL * Boolean OR or AND criteria * Auto-Quotes all values and Override * IN (list) and NOT IN (list) clauses
Pass a true value for the OR argument to join constraints in the WHERE clause by OR instead of AND.
Select info for every device:
$matches = sql_rows('device',['ip','dns','uptime]);
Pass the where value as a reference:
sql_rows('device d, device e',['d.ip,d.dns,e.ip,e.dns'], {'d.dns' => \'e.dns'});
Creates the SQL:
SELECT d.ip,d.dns,e.ip,e.dns FROM device d, device e WHERE d.dns = e.dns;
This also leaves a security hole if the where value is coming from the outside
world because someone could stuff in 'dog'
;delete from node where true;...>
as a value. If you turn off quoting make sure the program is feeding the where
value.
Pass the where value as a double scalar reference:
sql_rows('device',['*'], {'age(creation)' => \\"< interval '1 day'"})
Creates the sql:
SELECT * FROM device WHERE age(creation) < interval '1 day';
Select all the devices without reverse dns entries:
$matches = sql_rows('device',['ip','name'],{'dns'=>'IS NULL'});
$matches = sql_rows('device d left join device_ip i on d.ip = i.ip', ['distinct(d.ip)','d.dns','i.alias','i.ip'], {'d.ip/i.alias'=>'127.0.0.1', 'd.dns/i.dns' => 'dog%'}, 1);
Selects all rows within device
and device_ip
where
device_ip.alias
or device.ip
are localhost
or device_ip.dns
or device.dns
has dog
in it.
Where columns with slashes are split into separate search terms combined with OR
:
{ 'd.ip/i.alias' => '127.0.0.1' }
Creates the SQL
"WHERE (d.ip = '127.0.0.1' OR i.alias = '127.0.0.1')"
Pass the where values as an array reference
$matches = sql_rows('device',['ip'],{'dns' => ['cat%','-g%'] },1 );
Creates the SQL:
SELECT ip FROM device WHERE (dns like 'cat%') OR (dns like '-g%');
Pass the value as a double array reference. Values are auto-quoted.
Single array reference is for creating multiple WHERE
entries (see above)
$matches = sql_rows('node',['mac'], {'substr(mac,1,8)' => [['00:00:00','00:00:0c']]})
Creates the SQL:
SELECT mac FROM node WHERE (substr(mac,1,8) IN ('00:00:00','00:00:0c'));
Pass the value as a double array reference. Prepend one of the array values with a !
$matches = sql_rows('device',['name'], {'vendor' => [['!cisco','hp']] });
Will find all devices that are neither cisco or hp.
$matches = sql_rows('device',['ip','dns'], undef, undef, 'order by dns limit 10');
Returns a DBI state handle on which the SQL query has been prepare()d and
execute()d. This function is good for large queries instead of
sql_rows()
, as the whole result set does not need to be read into
memory.
Code such as
my $nodes = sql_rows(...); foreach my $row (@$nodes) { ... }
can be replaced by
my $sth = sql_query(...); while (my $row = $sth->fetchrow_hashref()) { ... }
The arguments are exactly the same as sql_rows()
.
Returns a scalar of value of first column given.
Internally calls sql_hash()
which calls sql_rows()
All arguments are passed directly to sql_hash()
my $count_ip = sql_scalar('device',['COUNT(ip)'],{'name' => 'dog'});
sql_vacuum(table,%opts)
Runs a VACUUM ANALYZE if we are Postgres
Pass the table name as '' if you want to vacuum all tables.
Options:
verbose => 1 (set if DEBUG) full => 1
Return the full path of the given file as specified in the config file by prepending $CONFIG{home} to it, if it doesn't already start with a slash. If no value is specified in the config file, the default is used.
tryuse(module,%opts)
Try to use the given module.
Returns two values: success / failure, and the error message if failure. Caches values if it's non fatal.
Options:
ver => version of module required die => 1 if you want to die instead of recover yourself
