Ocsinventory agent under linux not send ip address hosts

Question

Hello,

i have install a ocsinventory agent (2.3) under linux (Centos 7)

I schedule the agent with crontab with this command:

10 * * * * ocsinventory-agent -s -f <ip ocsserver>

but in the server ocs  i don't see the host ip address .

But i launch the some command by terminal the ip address is displayed.

Why?

Thanks very much

Answer 1

Hi,

At first, prefer use DNS instead of IP address : that's better :)

You look like to have not configure the agent : if you put the server's address in the configuration file, there is no need to force the inventory by command line. You just need to call ocsinventory-agent and nothing more.

Attention, in the crontab, you have no path : use the full path to call ocsinventory-agent (command whereis to get it).

Answer 2

Hi,

thanks for your reply.

In crontab i have use full path to call ocs agent and the dns but don't work.

My code for cron:

00 * * * * /usr/local/bin/ocsinventory-agent -s ocs.server.lan

With this code the hosts is register in ocs server but the ip and the ram not displayed.

If i launch the command by console the ip and the ram are displayed.

Help me please.

Answer 4

Подтверждаю этот факт и в  Ubuntu 17.10

Не передает IP address

Что то не так в самом агенте

На Ubuntu 17.04 эта же версия агента OCS-NG_unified_unix_agent_v2.0.5

все отлично передавала а на Ubuntu 17.10 перестал передавать все сетевые параметры

Что конкретно делать ? Укажите какой модуль Perl надо добавить?

Ниже даю перевод в гугле

=========================================================

I also confirm this fact in Ubuntu 17.10

Does not transfer the IP address

Something is wrong in the agent itself

On Ubuntu 17.04, the same version of the agent OCS-NG_unified_unix_agent_v2.0.5

all perfectly passed and on Ubuntu 17.10 has ceased to transfer all network parameters

What exactly should I do? Which Perl module should I add?

Answer 5

Hi

My answer to n2011all

2.0.5 is too old and not updated in Ubuntu. Please update to 2.3 with manual setup. You'll need to update also the ocs server to 2.3.1.
