Introduction

This script was written to gather the current software version, SRU version, and VDB version from remote Sensors.

get_sensor_sw_versions.pl

To execute the script, first copy the script onto the Defense Center. The script can be run from any directory, but for convention /var/common, /var/tmp, and /Volume/home/admin, are most often used. The following example uses /Volume/home/admin:

admin@dc:~$ ls
get_sensor_sw_versions.pl

Then, elevate privileges with "sudo -i" to allow the script to run all the commands it needs to operate properly and change back to the directory where the script was copied:

admin@dc:~$ sudo -i
Password:

root@dc:~# cd /Volume/home/admin/

root@dc:/Volume/home/admin# ls
get_sensor_sw_versions.pl

Then run the script:

root@dc:/Volume/home/admin# perl get_sensor_sw_versions.pl

The output file will be placed into /var/common with the following format:  hostname_version_info.csv

Please contact me for any enhancement requests.


Output:

This script collects current software/VDB/SRU versions to CSV file in /var/common/:

Warning: Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.


File created: /var/common/dc_version_info.csv

Sample output:

root@dc:/var/common# cat dc_version_info.csv

Hi Sudhir,

Can you please add another step where we can get sensing interface (s1p1 or s2p2..), Group and Domain info columns for sensors?

Thanks,

Ramu

Hi Ramu,

I will look into adding this to the script.  I do not think it should be an issue; but will need some time to check it out and add the features.

Thank you for the suggestion!

Cheers,

Sudhir

Hi all, please use this script (https://github.com/Lv2hack/fmc-api) to pull the same information that the perl script used to provide. It leverages the FMC API and is currently supported.
