I've been futzing with an install of 0.9.3 (as found on SourceForge) on CentOS 6 for a few weeks as time allows and finally got to the point where I wanted to set up network autodiscovery. I have around 100 hosts on two nets that I want to monitor so I figured this would be the easiest way to get baseline hosts info into jffnms.
Well...in 0.9.3 network autodiscover just doesn't work out of the box. I've debugged the code and found (so far) two major logic errors (one in the nad class and one in the nad admin panel code). After correcting them I have autodiscover working and can add discovered hosts/interfaces to the monitoring system. I currently have a large chunk of the host discovery code in the autodiscover_network engine commented out to circumvent another bug that sometimes keeps hosts and IPs from being inserted into the nad_hosts and nad_ips tables; I'll look at that later. How do I submit the code changes? Some of the changes are probably more along the lines of customizations than bug fixes: I changed the discovery engine's timeout to 30 minutes and allow network blocks as large as /16 to be searched...I have a big, sparse server block. It takes about 5 minutes to NMAP the /16. I'm coming back to jffnms after running OpenNMS for about 6 months. THAT is some complex code...
