SaveConfigs 0.8

Features:

- One click in the new host-template will save the running-config of a device and compare it
- The scripts automatic:
	- start a telnet/ssh connection to the networkdevice
	- check the devicemodel: Huawei, Cisco IOS/CatOS are testet at the moment.
	- send the correct commands to show the running-config
	 (or perhaps other important information, easy to customize)
	- compare the new configuration with a already saved configuration from the past - and renames the old one, if changes were made.
- A script to create a cronjob, which gets all deviceIPs (except 127.0.0.1) from the mysql database
- Misc: IP-Address as a telnet link for every host entry


I. Installation of the new "SaveConfig" link for the webinterface:
(All examples below are for Ubuntu-Server)

1. install "nmap" and "expect":
sudo apt-get install nmap expect

2a. copy files:
copy "saveconfigs.sh" and "commands.exp" to /usr/local/icinga/cgi-bin/

Change the rights for the access: the Webuser need the rights to start these scripts
Perhaps let the webserver start *.sh files (beside *.cgi)

2b. change the logincredentials in "saveconfigs.sh"

3. create folder /tftpboot with the rights for every user to access it?!
The configurationfiles will be saved here!

4. copy the new host-template-file:
copy "icinga-my-host-template.xml" to /usr/local/icinga-web/app/modules/Cronks/data/xml/grid/

5. Create a new gridview in the "Data" Cronk-Container:
edit "cronks.xml" in subfolder /usr/local/icinga-web/app/modules/Cronks/config/ und paste following lines: 

<ae:parameter name="gridSaveConfig">
    <ae:parameter name="module">Cronks</ae:parameter>
    <ae:parameter name="action">System.ViewProc</ae:parameter>
    <ae:parameter name="hide">false</ae:parameter>
    <ae:parameter name="description">Saving Configuration</ae:parameter>
    <ae:parameter name="name">SaveConfig</ae:parameter>
    <ae:parameter name="categories">data</ae:parameter>
    <ae:parameter name="ae:parameter">
        <ae:parameter name="template">icinga-my-host-template</ae:parameter>
    </ae:parameter>
</ae:parameter>

6. empty the cache and restart services:
sudo service icinga restart
sudo service apache2 restart
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/icinga-web/app/cache/config/*.php


II. Create the cronjob:

1. copy the file "CRONsaveconfigs.sh" and edit the user to connect to the right mysql database.

2. create a cronjob, which executes "Cronsaveconfigs.sh":
sudo vi /etc/crontab
or
crontab -e

TODO:
- simplify the code
- Insert more devices in "commands.exp" (Enterasys, Nortel, Extreme, ...) and test them
- Get the complete running-config in "saveconfigs.sh" - better solution?!
