Prerequisites
A working copy of NMIS that opExport can read and export the data from
Installation Steps
Common Steps
- copy the tarball to the server, into your users home directory
untar the file into a location of your choice, the default location is /usr/local/opExport
- copy the config file
cd /usr/local tar xvf ~/opExport-x86_64-1.0.0.tar.gz cd opExport cp ./install/opCommon.nmis ./conf/opCommon.nmis
- Set the key that the daemons will use to verify each other in opCommon.nmis (opexport_connection_key)
Additional Steps for server holding the MySQL Database
copy the schema files to the conf directory
cd /usr/local/opExport cp ./install/schema_set.json ./config/ cp ./install/export-* ./config/
Start the server
This will need to be done on the server holding the MySQL Database as well as all the NMIS servers that will be exporting data
cd /usr/local/opExport/scripts ./opmantek.pl prefork
http://your.server.names.or.ip:3000/opExport/?opexport_connection_key=key123
Configure the daemons that will export data
The server that holds the MySQL Database holds the master copy of the schema, in order for an NMIS server to export it's daemon requires a schema to be pushed to it.
First, check that the MySQL server has a schema configured. In a web browser load:
http://your.MySQL.server.name.or.ip:3000/opExport/schemas
For each server you wish to have export you need to push the schema, in a web browser load:
http://your.MySQL.server.name.or.ip:3000/opExport/schemas/push/NMIS_Server_Name?opexport_connection_key=key123
You can now verify that each of the NMIS servers have the schema:
http://your.NMIS.server.name.or.ip:3000/opExport/schemas?opexport_connection_key=key123
Transferring Data
There are two ways to transfer, the MySQL server can "pull" the data, or the NMIS server can "push" the data.
To pull:
http://your.MySQL.server.name.or.ip:3000/opExport/schemas/pull/NMIS_server_name?opexport_connection_key=key123
To push:
http://your.NMIS.server.name.or.ip:3000/opExport/schemas/push/MySQL_server_name?opexport_connection_key=key123
Error checking
The daemon should be writing to /usr/local/opExport/log, currently that functionality is not working so it will dump everything to STDOUT. That is where you will want to look.
