WhatWeb and Mongo Pain

[mansizerooster]

Hi All

Has anyone successfully had whatweb log to mongo?
I have the mongo server running and the log shows that something (presumably whatweb) connects, however whatweb says ‘logging failed’ in its std output.
I can’t see any useful error logs for whatweb.
I’m scanning 150 + plus web servers as part of an audit at work.

Cheers

MSR.

To fix it: Open whatweb-0.4.7/lib/output.rb,

Find this line:
os = plugin_results.map {|x| x[:os] unless x[:os].class=Regexp }.flatten.compact.sort.uniq

change it to:
os = plugin_results.map {|x| x[:os] unless x[:os].class==Regexp }.flatten.compact.sort.uniq

While this may/will work if a fix from the dev comes out we can of course fix the package in the repos.
Thanks for reporting this to us however, a better idea is to report errors with tools to their respective developers.
