Some generic readme file Topics include , dependencies ,database stuff and scripts. Dependencies: MYSQL backend, PHP v5, cron, Nmap v 5.00 or 5.21 And on each server you want to track smartctl, lsscsi, ifconfig, uptime, curl Database Stuff: The blank database structure tables are in the install directory. You just might want to empty the “general” table. Scripts: Scripts include, checkin.sh, updateNetworkDB.sh, chackStatus.php. All the scripts are located in the install directory (except the php file) and all need to be modified to your system. checkin.sh This script needs to run every minute and you need to modify the “serverKey” variable and the “checkinServer” variable, examples are in the file. The “serverKey” needs to be added into the “server” table. This key is the unique identifier for that server, it is also the only field you NEED to populate so that the server can check-in. I run this script every minute by adding this into cron updateNetworkDB.sh This script can run whenever you want to update the scan, and it needs to be heavily modified for your network. Examples are in the file. I run this script once a day by adding this into cron. checkStatus.php This script checks the database for servers it has not seen in a given amount of time and sends e-mails accordingly. I run this script every minute by adding this into cron. And finally you need to modify the include/config.php
