Oxidized SSH issues HP ProCurve 5406zl

WVSD_Tech · 16 July 2024 18:51

I’m having an issue with Oxidized and HP ProCurve 5406zl running SSH. Oxidized doesn’t appear to be doing a “sh run” command. It doesn’t make a copy of the running config but it makes a copy of the Status and Counters module information. This is causing Oxidized to make a new copy of what it thinks is the config, over 3000 for some switches. There are no issues viewing and the other 400 switches seem to be backing up just fine. The ProCurves seem to work properly on Telnet but don’t want to go that route. Any suggestions?

My suggestion would be to upgrade firmware on that old antique.

Alternatively copy the hp model from the source, make a custom model under the customs folder and there you remove any show commands that have counters etc.

Here you can see what the procurve model should do:

github.com

ytti/oxidized/blob/master/lib/oxidized/model/procurve.rb

class Procurve < Oxidized::Model
  using Refinements

  # previous command is repeated followed by "\eE", which sometimes ends up on last line
  # ssh switches prompt may start with \r, followed by the prompt itself, regex ([\w\s.-]+[#>] ), which ends the line
  # telnet switches may start with various vt100 control characters, regex (\e\[24;[0-9][hH]), followed by the prompt, followed
  # by at least 3 other vt100 characters
  prompt /(^\r|\e\[24;[0-9][hH])?([\w\s.-]+[#>] )($|(\e\[24;[0-9][0-9]?[hH]){3})/

  comment '! '

  # replace next line control sequence with a new line
  expect /(\e\[1M\e\[\??\d+(;\d+)*[A-Za-z]\e\[1L)|(\eE)/ do |data, re|
    data.gsub re, "\n"
  end

  # replace all used vt100 control sequences
  expect /\e\[\??\d+(;\d+)*[A-Za-z]/ do |data, re|
    data.gsub re, ''
  end
