NeDi2GrapML

[acoto]

Hello NeDi Community

NeDi2GraphML v0.16 is on server now

New option: Node Filter list

perl NeDi2GraphML.pl -o Schematic.graphml --nfr nodefilter.csv

#
# Sample Node Filter CSVFile
# Format:
#   nodfilter, <type>, <regex>, <condition>
#
#      <type>:  "name"     - Node Name
#               "nodip"    - Node IP Address
#               "mac"      - Node MAC Address
#               "oui"      - Node OUI
#               "devname"  - Parent Device Name
#     <regex>:  matching regex
# <condition>:  "inc" Include
#               "exc" Exclude
#
#
###############################################################################

nodfilter,devname,^RAccs1,inc
nodfilter,nodip,10.1.112.102,exc
nodfilter,devname,^RAccs2,exc
nodfilter,mac,^000002210102,inc
nodfilter,oui,^Cisco,inc
nodfilter,oui,^D-Li,exc
nodfilter,name,^NeDi,inc



Notes:

  When node filters are enabled, by default all nodes are excluded

  Filter priority is name > nodip > mac > oui > devname

  It is possible to create hierarchical filters. for instance include nodes connected to device, but exclude some specific mac address.

  It is possible to use device filters and node filters on the same NeDi2graphML run.

Hello Adrian,

I have just tested your modifications and It works so great !!!

Thanks a lot !!

It can suggest you a little bit modification.

Since you have several criteria for nodfilter (nodeip, mac, oui), could you have the same thing for icons.csv ?

Example :

I have used nodfilter in order to have only IP Phones on map (Thomson ST2030) :

Code: [Select]

nodfilter,oui,Thomson Telecom Belgium,inc
It works great, but i would like to have a special icon for those materials.

But only filters in icons.csv are cdpcsv,devtype,devname so i have one rectangle for one thomson IP phone.

I hope you understand my description.

Thanks.

Bye.

Hello OMFan

Done! uploading NeDi2GraphML v0.17 to sourceforge.

Now we can match parent device, oui, mac, node ip, and name on icon assignment for nodes.

There is an small syntax change on icons and node filter files. To match for parent device we need to use "pdevname"

Hello Adrian,

You job is really fantastic. I have just tested and it works great !!

I have one question about GraphML generation file.

Do you know if it is possible to generate automatically a PNG of JPEG file instead of GraphML file , in using yEd CLI for example ?

Thanks a lot.

Bye

Hello OMFan

yEd licence forbidens the use of yEd in a script.

yFiles is probably your best option.

Hi there,

it's a very magic tool do visualize your network. But i've one problem: The connecting lines between the devices overlap some devices and their description so i can't see the description of our main switch because a hundred links leave them. Any idea how to bring the labels to the forground?

Yours, Daniel

Hi Guys,

Since NeDi 1.4 version, NeDi2GraphML don't work properly because database scheme has changed.

If you want to use it with the last version, i have found how to modify NeDi2GraphML.pl by changing line 862 :

Old line

Code: [Select]

my $query="SELECT name, nodip, mac, oui, device, ifname FROM nodes";

New Line

Code: [Select]

my $query="SELECT nodes.nodesc,nodip,nodes.mac,oui,device,ifname FROM nodarp,nodes WHERE nodes.mac = nodarp.mac";
Bye.

Excellent OMFan, thank you!

I added your change and uploaded v0.18

I do not have a recent NeDi installed around here, please check if it works fine.

Regards,

AC
