Installation Steps

  • Copy the opFlow tarball to the server (a tarball is a GZIP'd tar file, e.g. opConfig-Linux-x86_64-1.0.tar.gz)
    1. You may need to use SCP or FTP to get the file onto the server.
  • The file will now likely be in the users home directory.
  • If the installation directory does not already exist
  • Change into the directory where the tarball was copied
  • Untar the file
cd /usr/local
tar xvf ~/opConfig-Linux-x86_64-<version>.tar.gz
cd opmantek/
cp install/opCommon.nmis conf/
cp install/credential_sets.nmis conf/ 
cp install/command_sets.nmis conf/
cp install/connections.nmis conf/ 
cp -r install/phrasebooks conf/ 
bin/opfixperms.pl
cp install/01opmantek.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/
service httpd restar

Configure MongoDB

Create the database indexes required:

bin/opConfig-cli.pl act=create_indexes

Configure opConfig

Credentials

conf/credential_sets.nmis holds the credential sets that are used when connecting to a device.  Even if auto discovery is not use the credentials still need to live in this file

Setup credentials,  edit conf/credential_sets.nmis

#add/remove/change the lines with default username/password info to match credentials for the devices you want to discover
%hash = ( 
 'empty' => { username => '', password => '' },
 'YourSetHere' => { username => 'YourUsername', password => 'YourPassword' }
);

Make very sure this file is only readable by you / root (opfixperms.pl will do this for you)

chmod 600 conf/credential_sets.nmis

 

Connections

Connections tell opConfig how to connect to the devices you would like to gather configuration data from.  Connections can be auto-discovered if opConfig is attached to an NMIS configuration.

NB: opConfig will only attempt to discover devices from NMIS that are active and are currently being collected.

Here is a sample connections.nmis file
