Make standalone Agent => Error about "$VERSION"

Question

Hello,

i would like to build a "standalone-standalone" Agent for Linux.

Try to build it with Ubuntu 14.04 and Debian Wheezy...i got on both the same error.

I have installed all Perl Modules as discribed in wiki and it seems to work. But i got an error when I try to start building with "standalone.sh". :-(

################################################################

 sh ./tools/standalone.sh
WARNINGS: Very experimental tool
/usr/bin/pp: Packing ocsinventory-agent
/usr/bin/pp: Writing PAR on ocsinventory-agent.par
Could not get version from /root/Ocsinventory-Unix-Agent-2.1.1/lib/Ocsinventory/Agent/Modules/Snmp/3375.pm by executing:

    #; package Module::Metadata::_version::p2;
    use version;
    no strict;

      $vsub = sub {
        local $VERSION;
        $VERSION=undef;
          my $VERSION=$session->get_request ( -varbindlist => [ $snmp_sysProductVersion] );;
        $VERSION
      };
  }

The fatal error was: Can't call method "get_request" on an undefined value at (eval 16) line 9, <GEN185> line 45.

I didn´t find any solution for this and i´m a little frustrated..:-(

Hope anyone has an idea to fix this problem. I´ll need a standalone Agent version because I can´t install Perl on every system.

 

Thanks and regards

Hi Fox,

 

I'm using an unofficial agent for Linux, found on:

https://github.com/jackburton79/agent

It only does hardware inventory, but that was enough for me :-)

Answer 2

Thanks for the hint....:-)

I have tested this unofficial agent....it works on virtual systems very fine...but i have an error on hardware-systems. :-( for example on "HP ProLiant DL380"

Error "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

But anyway...i could fix the problems with the offical agent...just replaced the files with error with some older files from GIT. ;-)

After that the "standalone.sh" worked!

But unfortunatly i have to install some perl modules to get it work on other systems! So its not really standalone-standalone! :-(

Best wishes
