[Fusioninventory-user] Working with SNMP...

[Marco Gaiarin]

Cleaned a bit my environment, i want to do some serious work with
network discovery and SNMP.

But still i'm frustrated on that, because i was not able to make it
work, and, worst, i was not able to understand how it work.

Base system: GLPI 0.84.7, FI 1:2.3.9.1-1 on debian wheezy.


For now, i've understood that:

1) i can setup an 'inventory task' on GLPI that can be binded to a
 particular agent instance/host, and that run the discovery against the
network.
The same result is achived running 'fusioninventory-netdiscovery', eg
running the task against one of my switches:

 root at lupus:~# fusioninventory-netdiscovery --verbose --first 10.5.1.210 --last 10.5.1.210 
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
 <REQUEST>
   <CONTENT>
     <AGENT>
       <AGENTVERSION />  <START>1</START>
     </AGENT>
     <MODULEVERSION>2.2.0</MODULEVERSION>
     <PROCESSNUMBER>1</PROCESSNUMBER>
   </CONTENT>
   <DEVICEID>foo</DEVICEID>
   <QUERY>NETDISCOVERY</QUERY>
 </REQUEST>
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
 <REQUEST>
   <CONTENT>
     <AGENT>
       <NBIP>1</NBIP>
     </AGENT>
     <PROCESSNUMBER>1</PROCESSNUMBER>
   </CONTENT>
   <DEVICEID>foo</DEVICEID>
   <QUERY>NETDISCOVERY</QUERY>
 </REQUEST>
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
 <REQUEST>
   <CONTENT>
     <DEVICE>
       <AUTHSNMP>1</AUTHSNMP>
       <CONTACT>OMISSIS</CONTACT>
       <DESCRIPTION>ProCurve J9021A Switch 2810-24G, revision N.11.69, ROM N.10.01 (/sw/code/build/bass)</DESCRIPTION>
       [...]

and this is good, also seems to work on GLPI (eg, on my device i've
some ''fusioninventory data''). Perfectly.


2) after that, you can bind another task, the 'netinventory' one, that
 scan all the SNMP data and import it in GLPI, the ''static'' one
(number of ports, ...) and the dynamic one (MAC address connected,
counters, ...).
Again this task can be schaduled, also binding it to a particular
agent/host, but also run manually with 'fusioninventory-netinventory'.


But this seems not to work. If i run:
	fusioninventory-netinventory --verbose --host 10.5.1.210

i get rougly the same data of the previous 'netdiscovery' task,
while if i run a snmpwalk i get:

	snmpwalk -Os -c public -v 1 10.5.1.210 > /tmp/ttt
	root at lupus:~# wc -l /tmp/ttt
	32886 /tmp/ttt


What i'm missing?! Thanks.
