Please note that as at Open-AudIT 4.2.0, this page is no longer relevant. Please see the Integrations page.

We will shortly be shipping a perl script you can run to manually import Nodes from NMIS, along with their individual credentials and then run discovery upon each imported Node.

This script will set the configuration item "match_ip" to true. If this is not suitable for your environment, please contact Opmantek. This caveat will be removed going forward.

The script must be run on a server that contains NMIS and Open-AudIT. As such, this is a Linux only script.

The options are detailed in the script. You should not need to set any options and it should work out of the box.

The script will be located at /usr/local/omk/bin/import_nmis_into_open-audit.pl

When the script runs, if a given Node has no IP (or resolvable name) or no credentials, it will be imported however no discovery will be run upon it. You will see warnings for this in the command output.

When the script completes it will show some statistics as the example below shows.

Below are the options settable by editing the script. You should not need to change these, however if you are not getting the expected output, increasing $debug to 1 or 2 may provide more detailed information.

my $conf_file = '/usr/local/omk/conf/opCommon.nmis';
my $debug = 0;
my $nodes_file = '/usr/local/nmis8/conf/Nodes.nmis';
my $url = "http://127.0.0.1/open-audit/index.php";
my $user = 'admin';
