[rancid] Dell Switches with "K" in the host name fail

[Fleming, Graham]

Hello everyone,

I'm using the drancid and dlogin scripts from here: http://web.rickyninja.net:81/rancid/

Everything works OK except any Powerconnect switches that have the letter "K" in their hostname will fail.

In debugging I notice the script deletes any instance of the K from the prompt so it never matches the prompt and never knows when commands are finished.

Therefore, at the end of the script it errors out with:

": missed cmd(s): show version,show running-config,show vlan
found_end = 0, clean_run = 0
: End of run not found"

Any ideas would be great thanks.

Hi Graham

In drancid you should have a line that reads:

$prompt =~ tr/\033\\\[K//d;

Remove the K from there and see if that works. I'm not sure why it is
even in there, seems like a bug.

Thanks Matej! I had seen this already but couldn't figure out why it was there.

For some reason when running drancid on certain Dell Powerconnect switches, "[K" gets prepended the prompt. This line seems to be trying to remove that "[K".

I got rid of the K but now certain switches have "K" prepended.

I'm not very good with Perl but this is my fix and I think it works:

$prompt =~ tr/\033\\\[//d;
$prompt =~ s/^K//d;

Well you could try the Cacti mailing list? :)

Also, you haven't said what you want to monitor. Depending on your SIP
platform and what stats you can pull from it, you can essentially graph
anything in Cacti, even if it doesn't support SNMP because you can write a
script to gather stats and feed them into Cacti.

Hope that helps.

James.
