En el tema de los monitores la serie y el modelo no se muestran; pero eso sucede en algunas marcas.

Por ejemplo en los monitores Marca HP, LG si se muestra la información de modelo y serie; mientras que para los monitores de marca Lenovo dicha información no se muestra.


¿Por favor podrían corregir es error?.

Y ojalá que salga en el más breve plazo la versión 2.2 y su respectivo agente tanto para linux como para windows.

Muchísimas gracias.

NOTA: Precisar que la versión que uso es la 2.1.2 (servidor) y la 2.1.0.1 (agente). No uso la versión 2.1.1.1 del agente puesto que no muestra la información de inventario al dar clic derecho y elegir la opción "Muestra información del inventario" y en la versión 2.1.0.1 del agente si muestra.

On the subject monitors the serial and model are not shown; but that happens in some brands.

Eg monitors Brand HP, LG if the information model and serial numbers shown; while for Lenovo brand monitors such information is not displayed.

Could you please correct is wrong ?.

And hopefully come out soon in version 2.2 and their respective agent for both Linux and Windows.

Many thanks.

NOTE: To specify that the version used is 2.1.2 (server) and 2.1.0.1 (agent). No use version 2.1.1.1 of the agent since it does not display the inventory information by right-click and choose "Show inventory information" and in version 2.1.0.1 of the agent if shown.

Hi,

Send me inventory ocs file which contains lenovo brand monitor informations and agent log file. You can generate this file by using --local option with unix agent, with windows agent use /local option.

example: ocsinventory-agent --local /tmp --debug

Hi Frank,

 

i am a bit confused with regard to what you need, sorry mate, my problem is not only with IBM monitors? my problem is with Linux machine reporting missing printers, monitors, video card, ETC, and their icons are faded. how can we fix it? what seems to be the problem? am i missing something that i need to install? i also noticed that when i install perl -MCPAN -e 'install nvidia::ml' i can see the monitors on the next inventory, can you please provide information about what "addon" or software "addon" responsible for reporting? for instance,

nvidia::ml -> responsible for reporting about Video Card.

and so forth for printers and monitors...

thanks,

Hi All,

short update, i am now in a scenario where when i run ocsinventory-agent --stdout i can see within the local created xml file the video card information within the <VIDEOS>XXXX </VIDEOS>. but i don`t see it in many other LINUX machines XML, off course the machine without the video graphic card information within the XML are not reporting about it and i want to fix that, can you let me know why isn`t it reported? what application/plugin/wrong configuration am i missing here?
Hi,

 

shot update for those who have same problem in which Video Adapter isn`t reported by OCS Inventory and seems greyed out, you need to install NVIDIA::ML which is nvidia (in my case) management library modules bindings, you can do it by running:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install nvidia::ml' i even found a way to automate the questions asked when running cpan for the first time, just copy your already answered/commited Config.pm from another answered computer to the same path of the second computer and your are all good to go.

let me know if you need assistance with this.

thanks for help,

 

itzik vilmovsky
yet another update... i was happy to soon :( i still have stations in which even after installing nvidia::ml i can`t get the video card to be inventory, even when running locally its inventory XML does not contain the graphic video card.

 

any advice would be appreciated.
