  2. LAX LAX A toolset for network administration A toolset for network administration LAX is a collection of scripts for administrators uses a network directory, (still) a KDE3 portal and openssh autologin channels to remote hosts Is in development, growing, moving Revite on the network GUUG LK2009 Dresden

  3. LAX LAX A toolset for network administration A toolset for network administration Say you are a IT administrator of a midsize company. You probably need LAX because you should ● know (and remember) what you have ● know if it works ● be able to control it Overpower entropy! GUUG LK2009 Dresden

  4. LAX LAX A toolset for network administration A toolset for network administration Use LAX to collect: directory of network objects monitor: grab state of network objects alert: notification, reaction, escalation visualize: show network objects control: manage network objects GUUG LK2009 Dresden

  5. LAX the LAX server LAX is an administration machine only LAXdb: Openldap using a special scheme Network operations start here (openssh) Information is collected here (postgres) Administrator desktops (KDE / NX / RDP) special accounts reflection areas of interest Do not run production services here GUUG LK2009 Dresden

  6. LAX How to use LAX LAX WinXX NX, RDP Collects and stores Administrator Network data Intranet openssh- autologin Service Linux/Unix Desktop LAX Server Service Desktop snmp NX, RDP OpenVPN DSL Administrator's home-Office Service company Cluster GUUG LK2009 Dresden

  7. LAX scripting LAX is s administrators automation technology The administrator puts its know how to the script realize a single administration task per script Systematicly develop and organize scripts create an administration library GUUG LK2009 Dresden

  8. LAX scripting LAX Example: vx-start dicl mserver We prefer this name scheme Module-function-subfunc option parameter Simple „development“ tool GUUG LK2009 Dresden

  9. LAX LAX other concepts other concepts Groups of network objects enumerated or buit by a script at runtime a group can contain other groups Transactions repeat operations on / with multiple hosts paralle | sequential modules GUUG LK2009 Dresden

  10. LAX LAX structure: modules structure: modules instance san dhcp vx dns ha certs devel LAX-DB open squid vpn monitor ipsec user alarm clam frox mail grey havp list GUUG LK2009 Dresden

  11. LAX LAX structure: filesystem structure: filesystem /opt/lax all the software, scripts delivered modules <module> api here are the scripts gui mostly kommander scripts templates /var/lib/lax the local configurations modules <module> api ... GUUG LK2009 Dresden

  12. LAX LAX LAXdb – the network directory LAXdb – the network directory Openldap, hierarchical structure ou=lax o=organization_name laxnet=networkname host=hostname laxservice=servicename laxdevice=hostname laxservice=servicename ou=administrators ou=laxgroups ou=transactions Scripts and a gui to manage your network objects laxdb-host-add pc34 192.168.30.77 Windows GUUG LK2009 Dresden
