Report.Version including Mac Adress of Cisco devices

Hi bobstevens,

I'm afraid there is no way to customize the 'out-the-box' activity, although I can add it as a feature request if you'd like?

However if you are familiar with VB Scripting; you may be able to create your own custom activity to get the data you need.

See:  www.kiwisyslog.com/.../act_creatingcustomactivity.htm for more information.

The Custom.Device.Template.txt.custom file in the Templates folder is actually based on a more simple Version report... so you should at least have a good starting point.

Kind regards,

Steve

Hi steve,

the template triggers "show version" on the device where "show diag" is needed (including Chassis Mac Address)

I did not get it work until now, you may add this as a feature request.

Thanks

Bob

Hi Bob,

In the .custom file (which you use to extend your existing devices with your custom activities), you need to locate the lines:

    ' SEND COMMAND(S) TO DEVICE:

    sCmd = "show version"

then change the sCmd value to "show diag" instead.

Hope this helps,

Steve

Hi Steve,

I already changed that and it ended up:

"Client script error: Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignement: 'SendCommandSingle' on line: 6660"

(Even with show version it's the same error)

I need to issue both (show version and show diag) to get all the information I need.

Bob

The underlying issue is that some of the older device type scripts (Cisco.Router.General and Cisco.Switch.IOS for example) require a slightly different set of parameters for the SendCommandSingle call.

If any other users encounter this same issue in the future, please raise a ticket with CatTools tech support specifying which device type(s) your custom activity is failing for.  We can then provide you with a list of the correct parameters for these older device scripts.

Regards,
