Beta 1 of OAv2 released
Done, out, pushed, released... finally.
This is a bit of a warthog release - I haven't done anywhere near as much testing as I would have liked. Please report the bugs to the Open-AudIT.org forums.
Seeing as I have now classed this as "beta", I will (from now on) attempt to provide database schema upgrades as scripts. Eventually, I'd like to get an update system similar to Wordpress. Very easy for the user to do. Eventually.
What's new - well it's now available as an XAMPPLITE package. For the Windows users, download it, extract it to C:\ start the xampp-control.exe, start Apache and MySQL and you're done. You should be able to browse to the root of your machine in a browser and get the logon page.
There's also a "code only" release. for IIS, Linux, etc, etc users who just want the application.
Groups and Reports are now stored in OAv2/code_igniter/system/application/controllers/groups (and /reports) directories. Drop the XML definition in the directory and you can "activate" the group or report in the web interface. The other options (import, export, etc) still exist.
I've improved the audit script. SQL won't hang (on SQL Express, etc) auditing now. You can also supply credentials to the audit script for auditing system's not on your domain.
cscript audit_windows.vbs COMPUTERNAME strUser=USERNAME strPassword=PASSWORD
Nice and easy. You can also use the credentials in the "audit list" script. Just add them after the computer name (as above) and when it calls the "audit windows" script, all arguments are passed through.
I've cleaned up the theme-tango/tango-files directory. It's quite clean as far as the .css and .js files are concerned. JQuery has also been updated to the latest version.
Some big feature's since last time -
Creating an Organisation now creates a corresponding Group.
If you have "edit" rights, and Report that includes a System ID will show an extra column. You can select multiple systems and edit their details together. Like when you acknowledge an Alert - only now for all the manually settable item's on a System, itself. One example use would be viewing the Systems in an automatically created network (subnet) group. You could set ALL the owner fields to a particular entity. Very quick and easy, versus editing each system by individually.
I also mean to create an individual audit script when you create an Organisation. All it would do is also set the Org_ID tag in the script - therefore automatically assigning any system audited by that particular script to an Organisation and it's corresponding Group. That's very much on the list...
There are a few other improvements... download it and try them out !

Currently...
Am auditing a domain with 20k systems (not all active) with OAv2.
Not all are powered up at the same time, but it still take's a few hours for one system to audit all the others... I really need multiple audit hosts... Still, it work's fine - it's just a bit slow.
The actual DB / Web host that contains the application is a virtual machine that's constrained to 1GHz of processor and 1GB memory. Most reports run fine - with the exception of the "All Installed Software" report - it simply times out. I suppose that's to be expected. There are currently 5,500 systems in the DB...
I'm pretty happy with the performance - and I am yet to optimise the SQL !!!
Look for Beta 1 of OAv2 very, VERY soon.
