Discovery of VOIP phones, Fax Machines, Teleconf equip etc.

Hi All,

Has anyone used discovery for discovering VOIP phones, Fax Machines, Teleconf equip etc.?

If yes what all information collected & how ?

Thanks.

Prakash,

I do not, but what ive used in the past is what I previously posted.One of the major problems I found was that trying to use the HTTP interface always had a logon required which Discovery can't deal with.

However (I believe) in Jakarta when discovery goes patterns in application im hoping that we can use the applicative credentials that might be able to over come this..

Thanks Doug. There is no login for these ip phone models. If you see the example below, we simply call the ip address and the device information is returned in html format (only the text is shown without the html markup in my example).

Are there any example probes we can use as a model to modify to handle this scenario?

Here is an example of data coming from an IP phone using a browser. (command line text browser elinks here).

We want to create a probe to gather this data and a sensor to process it.

$ elinks -dump http://<IP Address>/

I would think we can take the web server probe and re-use it here. We already have the cmdb_ci_ip_phone table to store the data.

Just need to create the sensor to process the data.

Hey Doug,

How are you? Long time...no questions from me for you. Hope all is well.

Has there been any new updates to discovery for Cisco and IP Phones in the Istanbul + releases? I will try the link above but wondering if you know. In the client instance I am on...I don't have access to disco to check but was hoping there might be something that came out.

Thanks,

Kurt
