Prerequisites

A working copy of NMIS that opExport can read and export the data from

Installation Steps

Common Steps

  • copy the tarball to the server, into your users home directory

  • untar the file into a location of your choice, the default location is /usr/local/opExport 

  • copy the config file 
  • cd /usr/local
tar xvf ~/opExport-x86_64-1.0.0.tar.gz
cd opExport
cp ./install/opCommon.nmis ./conf/opCommon.nmis
  • Set the key that the daemons will use to verify each other in opCommon.nmis (opexport_connection_key)

Additional Steps for server holding the MySQL Database

  • copy the schema files to the conf directory 

  • cd /usr/local/opExport cp ./install/schema_set.json ./config/ cp ./install/export-* ./config/

Start the server

This will need to be done on the server holding the MySQL Database as well as all the NMIS servers that will be exporting data

 

cd /usr/local/opExport/scripts ./opmantek.pl prefork
Check that the all the daemons are running and that you can access them with the connection key that you configured (do this for all daemons you have configured), at this point you will need to enter your license key and accept the EULA:

 

http://your.server.names.or.ip:3000/opExport/?opexport_connection_key=key123

 

Configure the daemons that will export data

The server that holds the MySQL Database holds the master copy of the schema, in order for an NMIS server to export it's daemon requires a schema to be pushed to it.  

First, check that the MySQL server has a schema configured.  In a web browser load:

http://your.MySQL.server.name.or.ip:3000/opExport/schemas

 

For each server you wish to have export you need to push the schema, in a web browser load:

http://your.MySQL.server.name.or.ip:3000/opExport/schemas/push/NMIS_Server_Name?opexport_connection_key=key123

 

You can now verify that each of the NMIS servers have the schema:

http://your.NMIS.server.name.or.ip:3000/opExport/schemas?opexport_connection_key=key123

 

Transferring Data

There are two ways to transfer, the MySQL server can "pull" the data, or the NMIS server can "push" the data.

To pull:

http://your.MySQL.server.name.or.ip:3000/opExport/schemas/pull/NMIS_server_name?opexport_connection_key=key123

To push:

http://your.NMIS.server.name.or.ip:3000/opExport/schemas/push/MySQL_server_name?opexport_connection_key=key123

 

Error checking

The daemon should be writing to /usr/local/opExport/log, currently that functionality is not working so it will dump everything to STDOUT.  That is where you will want to look.
