for my part, i have the same problem - as the comms people use their own conventions in sysLocation (if they use it at all). so pushing updates to devices isn't always the answer.
so i don't control the cisco devices. i do the iDRACs, but they don't use sysLocation.
I updated the locations as i slowly added the devices on, to reduce the work load, but i always wanted a script. useful for adding on adding a new physical site.
thanks

Neither the webui nor the console menu system is fun for 300+ PDUs. :)
If these were server nodes, I'd just use salt to update the location by cluster. With network devices we can push it using rancid. With the PDUs...we're stuck.
It is possible to push configs to APC PDUs by ftp, and this person has used it with rancid... http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/rancid/users/6627 I don't use that with rancid myself, but I have pushed configs to my PDUs with ftp (for syslog). -Nick _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium@observium.org http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium
