Network Switch Status Tracker (Django/MySQL)

A simple Python web application for tracking ping status between switches and terminals, using Django and MySQL.

Installation

Dependencies

⚠ UPDATE: This project was created with Django 3.x and Python 3.6. Both are no longer the latest versions so ensure to account for compatibility issues.

This project was created with PyCharm so, ideally, a direct import should hypothetically work. Otherwise, move the nosairis folder from root directory to your desired directory and then install the following dependencies using the package manager pip.

pip install django

pip install mysqlclient

pip install plotly

MySQL Preconfiguration

The MySQL database routines have already been configured. You must however create an identical empty one with the same user credentials (so you don't need to modify the code further) with the following commands (preferably as root).

CREATE DATABASE switches CHARACTER SET UTF8;
CREATE USER madjango@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '123django';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON switches.* TO madjango@localhost;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Restart MySQL again (this time as user madjango)

USE switches;

Open the directory nosairis/nosairis/management/exports and execute ALL the .sql files on switches. If all else fails, copy paste the contents each of the files and run directly in MySQL command line interface, and you're good to go!

⚠ IMPORTANT: Edit the settings.py file and the SECRET_KEY variable to point to your own unique Django secret key.

Usage

From root dir, cd to nosairis/nosairis and run the following commands to get started.

python manage.py runserver
