VMware Vcenter seems not to work

Hello,

I've installed (with success) the Vmware_Vcenter plugins for OCS inventory but i've the message :  "No data available in table"

The files are there :

/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Ocsinventory/Agent/Modules/Vmware.pm

/etc/ocsinventory/ocsinventory-server/plugins/vmware_vcenter.conf

/etc/ocsinventory/ocsinventory-server/perl/Apache/Ocsinventory/Plugins/Vmware_Vcenter/Map.pm
I've add the line (use Ocsinventory::Agent::Modules::Vmware; ) in /etc/ocsinventory-agent/modules.conf
 

my @auth_hashes = (
    {
       URL  => " URL ",
       AUTH_DIG     => " hash ",
    },
 );

curl -X POST -k -H 'Authorization: Basic hash' -i 'URL/rest/com/vmware/cis/session/'
reponse : http 200 OK so i assume my hash and URL are correct, maybe it lacks the "Basic" word in AUTH_DIG ?

Hi,

If you try to store the inventory on local store what is the result ? Does the file contain vmware informations ? Post result of this command => ocsinventory-agent --debug --local /tmp

Regards

I've tried to run it and the results are below, I assume it's just general information about VM / ESXi, get by the inventory and not the plugin

Edit : in the log file i've this line

[Wed Jan 27 10:49:42 2021][debug] Failed to load `/etc/ocsinventory/modules.conf': 0

After few researches, the JSON module for perl was missing.

The agent load correctly the module, and does the API request but i've still the message "No data available in table" in my WebUI.

The log message from the agent :

Je progresse petit à petit mais je n'ai toujours rien sur l'interface Web : "No data available in table".

Quand je lance le scan en local : ocsinventory-agent --debug /tmp/

J'ai les informations sur mon vCenter (datacenter, network ...) qui arrivent dans le fichier de log :

tail  /var/log/ocsinventory-agent/ocsinventory-agent.log
    </VMWARE_DATASTORE>
    <VMWARE_DATASTORE>
      <CAPACITY>17950278942720</CAPACITY>
      <DATACENTER>datacenter-2</DATACENTER>
      <DATASTORE>datastore-36</DATASTORE>
      <FREE_SPACE>14629320261632</FREE_SPACE>
      <IS_ACCESSIBLE>true</IS_ACCESSIBLE>

le fichier Map.pm est correct ? C'est ce fichier qui permet la répartition des données dans les tables.

Bon les infos sont montées, alors que je n'ai rien fait (entre le moment ou le plugin fonctionnait mais ne remontait pas les infos sur l'IHM et maintenant).

Par contre je n'ai aucune info sur les ressources pool, les vm et les cluster

Pour le cluster je n'ai qu'un Vcenter en standalone alors c'est surement normal.

J'ai cependant une question, est-il possible d'obtenir les versions firmware des ESXi/vCenter à partir de l'OCSinventory ou il faut passer par du PowerCli ?
