This section will describe **Device Rules** in Cacti.
|
||||
|
||||
Cacti Automation relies on create device Rules these rules help the automation process figure out what type of device is being scanned.
|
||||
Based on the device rule REGEX the automation engine can apply the appropriate template to the device i.e if there is a REGEX for IOS.
|
||||
The automation engine may pick the Cisco router template for the device
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
Below you will be able to choose a REGEX that will help identify the device the REGEX can be in any Perl supported format.
|
||||
You can select either to match by system description i.e the device hostname or the system name i.e Cisco
|
||||
|
||||
An example regex for Cisco would be
|
||||
(Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software|IOS)
|
||||
This matches based on the system name of the Cisco IOS software
|
||||
|
||||
Using this info automation would apply the appropriate device template you choose
|
||||
If you see below we match for a system that matches Linux once a device is found with that system name
|
||||
it is assigned the Net-SNMP device template.te.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
If the System/Device you are matching has a unique OID you can also match based on that.

# Automation Discovered Devices
|
||||
|
||||
This section will describe **Discovered Devices** in Cacti.
|
||||
After you initiate a scan from automation Cacti will compare devices
|
||||
found to the device rules and SNMP options you set.
|
||||
|
||||
If Cacti is unable to match the device to a device template or unable to
|
||||
find a proper SNMP credential.
|
||||
|
||||
Also if you have the automatically add to Cacti set to off the devices will
|
||||
also be put in this section.
|
||||
|
||||
The Discovered Devices section can be found by navigating to the
|
||||
following area.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Below you can see devices that have been found during the scan that did
|
||||
not meet a match criteria.
|
||||
|
||||
You will see the IP that was scanned as well if avaliable the resolved
|
||||
hostname either via DNS or netbios.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
You can then select the device you are interested in adding click the
|
||||
checkbox next to the device
|
||||
|
||||
on the dropdown you select add device this will bring up the below menu.
|
||||
From this Menu you will be able to fill out the details of the new device.

This section will describe **External Links** in Cacti.
|

|

External Links allows Administrators to add tabs to external links within
|
||||
the Cacti GUI. This can be for example to google.ca
|
||||
|
||||
When the user clicks on the Tab an Iframe will display the webpage.
|

This feature can be very useful to create a single UI for helpdesk/NOC.
