the relentless march to ldms_core perfection

Posted by Jack Coates on Sep 23, 2008 9:15:27 PM

Today I enhanced debug mode and provided for a debug logfile. I also did a bunch of refactoring and bug fixes... maybe half of what Perl Critic suggested. This isn't an urgent release unless you're having trouble, might as well wait for 3.0.

I've got some reports of problems with NMAP... it crashes and takes ldms_core.exe with it. That's not supposed to happen, so if it's happening to you, please let me know and send a debug file.

 

UPDATE: Talk about relentless... Arnold Garcia tested with the new debug stuff and helped me find a problem, along with some more debugging suggestions. I did some more refactoring as well, so I've posted again and let's call it 2.9.8. This is worth upgrading to if you've had trouble with NMAP.

 

The TODO list:

  1. TODO -- Test email button in the GUI

  2. TODO -- Setup should install a LANDesk LOCALEXEC script to run it

  3. TODO -- Provide visual feedback of activity stage, level

  4. TODO -- Check scheduled tasks and policies

  5. TODO -- plot non-RFC1918 addresses on a map

  6. TODO -- keep old information and show a trend.

  7. TODO -- purty Charts, http://search.cpan.org/src/CHARTGRP/Chart-2.4.1/README

  8. TODO -- when you find duplicate IP addresses, wipe out the one that has the

  9. older update date.

  10. TODO -- If the database isn't busy, reindex it? Detecting a need to reindex

  11. the database seems to be just as intrusive as actually reindexing the

  12. database. More research required before this can be done safely.
