# NAME

netdisco.pm - Utility functions used for back and front ends

# DESCRIPTION

This module provides utility functions for use with netdisco in both the front and backend. Front-end specific features are limited to the mason (.html) files, and the back-end specific features are limited to netdisco.

# AUTHOR

Max Baker

# SYNOPSIS

# GLOBALS

%netdisco::DBH
  Holds Database Handles, key is db name as set in config file.

%netdisco::DB
  Index of current Database Handle. Default `'Pg'`;

%netdisco::CONFIG
  Holds config info from `netdisco.conf`

%netdisco::GRAPH
  Holds vertex information for `make_graph()`

$netdisco::SENDMAIL
  Full path to sendmail executable

$netdisco::SQLCARP - Carps SQL!
  This will `carp()` the SQL sent off to the server for Debugging.

  If running under mason, the output of `carp()` goes to the Apache Error Log. From the shell it goes to STDERR.

  Note that if you set this on a MASON page, the value will remain cached across most of the current httpd proccesses. Make sure you set it back to 0 via mason when you're done, unless you like watching Apache's error_log grow.

%PORT_CONTROL_REASONS
  Reason why a port would be shutdown. These get fed into `port_control_log`

$VERSION - Sync'ed with Netdisco releases

# Exportable Functions

## General Functions

`add_arp(mac,ip)`
  Manipulates entries in 'node_ip' table.

  Expires old entries for given IP address.

  Adds new entry or time stamps matching one.

`add_node(mac,ip,port)`
  Manipulates entries in `node` table.

  Expires old entries matching given arguments.

  Adds a new entry or time stamps matching old entry.

`add_nbt(ip,mac,nbname,domain,server,nbuser)`
  Manipulates entries in 'node_nbt' table.

  Expires old entries for given MAC address.

  Adds new entry or time stamps matching one.

`bits_to_mask(bits)`
  Takes a CIDR style network mask in number of bits (/24) and returns the older style bitmask.

`config()`
  Reads the config file and fills the `%CONFIG` hash.

has_layer(bit string,layer)
  Takes ascii encoded string of eight bits, and checks for the specific layer being true. Most significant bit first.

          has_layer(00000100,3) = true

`hostname(ip)`
  Returns the DNS server entry for the given ip or hostname.

`getip(host)`
  Returns the IP Address of a given IP or hostname. If the given argument appears to be in dotted octet notation, it does no DNS hits and just returns it.

`in_subnet(subnet,ip)`
  Returns Boolean. Checks to see if IP address is in subnet. Subnet is defined as single IP address, or CIDR block. Partial CIDR format (192.168/16) is NOT supported.

       in_subnet('192.168.0.0/24','192.168.0.3') = 1;
       in_subnet('192.168.0.3','192.168.0.3') = 1;

`in_subnets(ip,config_directive)`
  Returns Boolean. Checks a given IP address against all the IPs and subnet blocks listed for a config file directive.

       print in_subnets('192.168.0.1','macsuck_no');

dump_subnet(cidr style subnet)
  Serves you all the possible IP addresses in a subnet.

  Returns reference to hash. Keys are IP addresses in dotted decimal that are in the subnet.

  Gateway and Broadcast (.0 .255) addresses are not included.

        %$hash_ref = dump_subnet('192.168.0.0/24');
        scalar keys %$hash_ref == 254;

  Also accepted :

        dump_subnet('14.0/16');
        dump_subnet('4/24');

`is_mac(mac)`
  Returns Boolean. Checks if argument appears to be a mac address.

  Checks for types :

          08002b:010203
          08002b-010203
          0800.2b01.0203
          08-00-2b-01-02-03
          08:00:2b:01:02:03

`log(class,text)`
  Inserts an entry in the `log` table.

          log('error',"this is an error");

`mail(to,subject,body)`
  Sends an E-Mail as Netdisco

`mask_to_bits(mask)`
  Takes a netmask and returns the CIDR integer number of bits.

          mask_to_bits('255.255.0.0') = 16

is_secure
  To be run under mason only.

  Returns true if the server want's to be secure and is, or true if the server doesn't want to be secure.

  Returns false if the server is not secure but wants to be.

`url_secure(url)`
`sort_ip()`
  Used by `sort {}` calls to sort by IP octet.

  If passed two hashes, will sort on the key `ip` or `remote_ip`.

`sort_port()`
  Used by `sort()` - Sort port names with the following formatting types :

          A5
          5
          FastEthernet0/1
          FastEthernet0/1-atm
          5.5
          Port:3

  Works on hashes if a key named port exists.

  Cheers to Bradley Baetz (bbaetz) for improvements in this sub.

`make_graph()`
  Returns `Graph::Undirected` object that represents the discovered network.

  Graph is made by loading all the `device_port` entries that have a neighbor, using them as edges. Then each device seen in those entries is added as a vertex.

  Nodes without topology information are not included.

`root_device(ip)`
  If the given IP Address matches a device IP, returns it.

  If the given IP Address matches an alias of a device, returns the IP of the device the alias belongs to.

## User Functions

`user_add(user,%args)`
  Adds or changes a user account.

  `%args` can have key values of { pw, admin, port }

  Returns error message if problem.

`user_del(user)`
  Deletes a user from netdisco.

  Returns result from `DBI->do()`

  Integer for number of rows deleted, or undef if error.

## SQL Functions

`dbh()`
  Creates and returns a database handle. Creates once, then returns the cached copy.

  Select database handle in use by localizing `$netdisco::DB`

`dbh_quote($text)`
  Runs DBI::dbh->`quote()` on the text and returns it.

`hash_diff($hashref_orig,$hashref_new)`
  Sees if items to change in second hash are different or new compared to first.

insert_or_update(table, {matching}, {values} )
  Checks for Existing entry in table using `\%matching` and either updates or inserts into table with `\%values` accodringly.

          insert_or_update('device', { 'ip'=>'127.0.0.1' },
                           { 'ip' => '127.0.0.1', dns => 'dog' }
                          );

  First time called it will insert the new entry

  Second time called it will modify the entry with the values.

  Supports

          * Auto Quoting of Values

  Returns undef if problem.

  On inserts in PostgreSQL, returns the OID of the row inserted.

  Or returns value from `DBD::St::execute()`

`sql_column(table,[key_col,val_col],{where})`
  Returns reference to hash. Hash has form `$hash{key_val}={val_val}`

  If multiple matches are found for key_col, only the last one is kept.

  Supports

          * (NOT) NULL
          * Auto-Quoting Values

          $OldDevices = sql_column('device',['ip','layers']);

  Creates the hash %$OldDevices where the key is the IP address and the Value is the Layers

`sql_do(sql)`
  Simple wrapper to `$dbh->do()`

  No quoting.

sql_hash(table, [columns], {where})
  Returns reference to hash representing single row.

  Internally calls `sql_rows()` -- See for Usage.

          my $hashref = sql_hash('device',['ip','ports'], {'ip'=>'127.0.0.1'});

`sql_match(text,exact_flag)`
  Parses text to substitue wildcards * and ? for % and _

  Optional exact_flag specifies whether or not to search for that exact text search or to do a *text*.

  Default is non_exact.

sql_rows(table, [columns] , {where} ,OR, orderbystring)
  Returns a reference to an array of hash references. Each hash reference is the return of `$dbh->fetchrow_hashref`

  Supports

          * Joins
          * Pattern Matching
          * NULL/NOT NULL
          * Boolean OR or AND criteria
          * Auto-Quotes all values and Override
          * IN (list) and NOT IN (list) clauses

  Pass a true value for the OR argument to join constraints in the WHERE clause by OR instead of AND.

  SIMPLE QUERY:
    Select info for every device:

            $matches = sql_rows('device',['ip','dns','uptime]);

  DISABLE AUTOQUOTING:
    Pass the where value as a reference:

            sql_rows('device d, device e',['d.ip,d.dns,e.ip,e.dns'],
                    {'d.dns' => \'e.dns'});

    Creates the SQL:

            SELECT d.ip,d.dns,e.ip,e.dns FROM device d, device e WHERE d.dns = e.dns;

    This also leaves a security hole if the where value is coming from the outside world because someone could stuff in `'dog'`;delete from node where true;...> as a value. If you turn off quoting make sure the program is feeding the where value.

  DISABLE AUTOQUOTING AND CONNECTOR
    Pass the where value as a double scalar reference:

            sql_rows('device',['*'], {'age(creation)' => \\"< interval '1 day'"})

    Creates the sql:

           SELECT * FROM device WHERE age(creation) < interval '1 day';

  NULL VALUES
    Select all the devices without reverse dns entries:

          $matches = sql_rows('device',['ip','name'],{'dns'=>'IS NULL'});

  JOINS

            $matches = sql_rows('device d left join device_ip i on d.ip = i.ip',
                                ['distinct(d.ip)','d.dns','i.alias','i.ip'],
                                {'d.ip/i.alias'=>'127.0.0.1', 'd.dns/i.dns' => 'dog%'},
                                1);

    Selects all rows within `device` and `device_ip` where `device_ip.alias` or `device.ip` are `localhost` or `device_ip.dns` or `device.dns` has `dog` in it.

    Where columns with slashes are split into separate search terms combined with `OR`:

           { 'd.ip/i.alias' => '127.0.0.1' }

    Creates the SQL

           "WHERE (d.ip = '127.0.0.1' OR i.alias = '127.0.0.1')"

  MULTIPLE CONTSTRAINTS ON SAME COLUMN
    Pass the where values as an array reference

            $matches = sql_rows('device',['ip'],{'dns' => ['cat%','-g%'] },1 );

    Creates the SQL:

            SELECT ip FROM device WHERE (dns like 'cat%') OR (dns like '-g%');

  IN (list) CLAUSE
    Pass the value as a double array reference. Values are auto-quoted.

    Single array reference is for creating multiple `WHERE` entries (see above)

            $matches = sql_rows('node',['mac'], {'substr(mac,1,8)' => [['00:00:00','00:00:0c']]})

    Creates the SQL:

            SELECT mac FROM node WHERE (substr(mac,1,8) IN ('00:00:00','00:00:0c'));

  NOT IN (list)
    Pass the value as a double array reference. Prepend one of the array values with a `!`

            $matches = sql_rows('device',['name'], {'vendor' => [['!cisco','hp']]  });

    Will find all devices that are neither cisco or hp.

  ORDER BY CLAUSE

            $matches = sql_rows('device',['ip','dns'], undef, undef, 'order by dns limit 10');

`sql_scalar(table,[column],{where})`
  Returns a scalar of value of first column given.

  Internally calls `sql_hash()` which calls `sql_rows()`

  All arguments are passed directly to `sql_hash()`

          my $count_ip = sql_scalar('device',['COUNT(ip)'],{'name' => 'dog'});

`sql_vacuum(table,%opts)`
  Runs a VACUUM ANALYZE if we are Postgres

  Pass the table name as '' if you want to vacuum all tables.

  Options:

          verbose => 1  (set if DEBUG)
          full    => 1
