New Discovery

fty-discovery-ng

New Discovery which discovers power devices (ups, epdu, ats).

Discovery build contains logical 4 parts.

• Rest submodule for tntnet
• Discovery agent
• Common discovery static lib
• Unit tests

How to build

Discovery based on cmake, so build is standart for any cmake build.

    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake ..
    make

or for 21 century :)

    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake -G Ninja ..
    ninja

Dependencies used in current version:

• tntnet
• netsnmp
• neon
• cxxtools
• fty-utils
• fty-pack
• fty-cmake-rest
• fty_common_logging
• fty_common_messagebus
• fty_common_logging
• fty_common_rest
• fty_security_wallet
• fty_common_socket
• Catch2::Catch2 (in case if you want unit testing)

How to build and use unit tests

To enable unit tests build just reconfigure your cmake build

cd build
cmake -DBUILD_TESTING=ON ..
make

To run unit test go to build/test subdirectory and run fty-discovery-ng-tests

How to run agent

systemctl start fty-discovery-ng

Structure of the project

• common - common static library for agent, rest and for tests
• rest - tntnet submodule
• server - discovery agent
  • conf - agent configuration
  • mibs - snmp mibs database
  • src - sources
• test - unit testing

How to add device to discover

This is not finished yet. But current implementation suppose to do:

• Add MIB file to MIB database. (server/mibs)
• In server/src/jobs/impl/mibs.cpp
  • add MIB to knownMibs mapping
  • add MIB to mapMibToLegacy to map MIB to nut snmp-ups usage
• Recompile

In future will not necessary to recompile project, just add MIB to MIB database and write your mib into config
