Custom role types


Info

If we have custom net types, node types or role types in any poller, we also add these types into our nmis configuration file (nmis9/conf/Config.nmis) in the primary: 

"roletype_list" => "default,core,distribution,access",
"nettype_list" => "default,wan,lan,vpn,man,san,voice",
"nodetype_list" => "default,generic,switch,router,firewall,server",

Important: All this methods are authenticated. 

Remote Nodes 

If any operation has a remote cluster id, the API will try to edit in the remote server. If this operation is not possible, it will fail. 

In order to succeed: 

  • opHA needs to be pulling that peer. This is because the peer sends the API url to update the remote in the registry data. And this information should be updated at least once a day. 
  • The peer has to be online. 

If we should edit the remote node locally for some reason, we should use opnode_admin cli tool.
