OCS Agent 2.10.3 MacOS package incompatible Tahoe

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 13:52:55 +0000

OCS Inventory Agent 2.10.3 MacOS package incompatible with Tahoe 26.4

Buidling MacOS packages for the agent is not a trivial task. The package date is from year 24' Wondering if there is an updated package for MacOS that is compatible with Tahoe?

Perfect.

I've noticed that on Linux, specifically on Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04, I can only perform the deploy as root. If I try using sudo, I get errors like the one below:

Hello everyone,
Finally worked.

I was configuring my ocsinventory-agent.cfg using the "SSL = 0" setting which on CentOS 8 worked normally without the certificate. But on CentOS 7 even if you set "SSL = 0" you will need the cacert.pem anyway.

I added cacert.pem e keep SSL = 0. Now it worked.

Wed, 26 Jun 2024 16:05:39 +0000

perhaps this helps, if you want to install the agent via rpm packages. Afterwards you have to schedule the agent via cronjob

What exactly do you mean with "run it as a daemon"?

I think it is enough if it is installed and scheduled

try this full automated script on client to install .just edit the line IN the script where you must define your server name

#here the script starts
#!/bin/bash

# Check if the ocs-inventory agent package is installed
if rpm -q ocsinventory-agent &> /dev/null; then
  echo "ocs-inventory package is installed."
  exit 0
else
  echo "ocs-inventory package is not installed."
fi

# Rest of the script
echo "Continuing with the rest of the script..."

server_name="your.ocsserver.name/ocsinventory"

cd /tmp
dnf -y install wget

dnf -y install epel-release

dnf -y install yum-utils

yum-config-manager -y --enable crb
dnf -y install ocsinventory-agent
#autoedit your existing config file
config_file="/etc/ocsinventory/ocsinventory-agent.cfg"

# check if config file changed allready changed
if ! grep -q "server = $server_name" "$config_file"; then
    # line with "local = /var/lib/ocsinventory-agent" comment out existing line
    sed -i 's/^local = \/var\/lib\/ocsinventory-agent/#&/' "$config_file"

Answered: If agent is updated earlier than the server ... ?

Thu, 18 Apr 2024 11:02:29 +0000

Hi @jacqhesh Thanks a lot at this thread, too. :)

I don't think an agent updated to a higher version than the server is better. I just wanted to figure out if it's necessary to avoid this situation and if so ... how.

I understood I should avoid.

Based on my current knowledge I used the repository provided agent for the first client and so I thought if this could be updated without purpose (by simply running the well known apt update -> apt upgrade).

So I will have to get familiar with agent packaging to avoid unwanted agent updates (of course taking care about server updates as another task). Correct?

Thank you

Thu, 18 Apr 2024 10:53:31 +0000

@jacqhesh Thanks a lot, but the point of efficiency is clear so far. My handicap is that we have a few separated systems which cannot reach the server by network design. To change this would be a little difficult because of security reasons.

But if I understand your answer correctly the way of sending inventory is possible, too? Can you tell me, how or give me a link for a manual / description?

agent on AIX

Fri, 22 Dec 2023 16:01:22 +0000

With the agent in the current version 2.10 on an AIX 7.3. I still have the following 2 problems:
1.) the following warning messages appear during execution:
0516-1396 : The physical volume hdisk1, was not found in the
system database.
0516-306 lslv: Unable to find hdisk0 in the Device
        Configuration Database.
0516-306 lslv: Unable to find hdisk1 in the Device
        Configuration Database.
0516-306 lslv: Unable to find hdisk2 in the Device
        Configuration Database.
0516-306 lslv: Unable to find hdisk3 in the Device
        Configuration Database.
0516-306 lslv: Unable to find hdisk4 in the Device
        Configuration Database.
The named command lslv is referenced in the LVM.pm module in the agent, but I was unable to find the reason for the warning.
2) Standalone.sh in the tools of the agent does not work for AIX and SLES. Because of this I have tried the pp of PAR::Packer to generate a binary agen. this worked well on SLES15 but does not on AIX.
The command
pp -C -o ocsinventory-agent.bin -x ocsinventory-agent
produces this error message:
SYSTEM ERROR in executing ocsinventory-agent : 256 at /opt/freeware/share/perl5/site_perl/Module/ScanDeps.pm line 1601.

Are there any Ideas to fix one or both of my problems?

Change OS name and version

Tue, 12 Dec 2023 08:36:57 +0000

Is it possible to change the name and version of the operating system in the agent?

I use the Porteus Kiosk distribution and in the system information I have:
OS Name: Linux
OS Version: 6.1.20-kiosk

And I would like the correct system version to appear in the inventory:
OS Name: Porteus Kiosk
OS Version: 5.5.0

How is this information extracted from the system? Maybe it would be possible to change it with a command alias, script, etc.?

We have the old 2.3 agent due to dependencies in new versions and problems with creating xzm packages. Maybe someone has created such a package (with dependent packages) in a newer version?

Can't get SNMP checks working

Mon, 30 Oct 2023 09:55:35 +0000

Good Morning from Karlsruhe/Germany ,

i'm doing my very best for days to get SNMP-Scan feature working properly, but I'm now at a point where I really can't go ahead.

I'm running Unix-Agent 2.10.0 on Debian (installed from packages). Inventory and IP-discovery works great. The SNMP checks are activated and the module is loaded properly. Ocsinventory is also telling me to do SNMP-scans, but actually it does nothing

10.0.10.11 and 10.0.10.12 are definitely SNMP-devices which can be queried from the machine using snmpwalk.

I verified by using tcpdump on the machine that are are no snmp-calls done to the Hosts at all.

my setup:

I installed and configured everything as described in Using SNMP scan feature and Managing SNMP on Web Console however I noticed that documentation seems to be at least partially outdated. e.g. i found in newer threads saying snmp_com.txt is not used anymore and the documentation does not mention SNMP Type conditions at all.

snmp package is installed on server

Please let me know if you require any further information

VMs inventorized as type Other

Mon, 09 Oct 2023 12:30:28 +0000

Hi, I have quite wierd issue, my ocs inventory agent for unix is for some odd reason inventorizing VMs (vsphere) as type "Other", rather than "Server" which obviously make a bit of mess in glpi and overall categorization of assets. I was wondering, is there some way to force the unix agents that all collected machines are Server, perhaps within ocsinventory-agent.conf? I wasnt able to set it up with the rules in glpi, thats why im asking here.
Appreciate any tip.

Removed packages still showing up in inventory

Mon, 02 Oct 2023 16:52:50 +0000

Debian packages that have been removed (rc) still show up in inventory.

Running strace on the ocsinventory-agent it shows that the software inventory collection is done using the command stat (e.g. "stat("/var/lib/dpkg/info/exim4-base.list", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=155, ...}) = 0" ) which catches software installed as well as removed, but not purged from a system.

I consider this a bug as it shouldn't inventory removed packages.

Can the agent for Linux still be installed?

Mon, 02 Oct 2023 01:37:49 +0000

Hi All,

I am currently using OCS Inventory for my inventory list, to install the agent on Windows and Mac it works fine, but for the agent on Linux can it still be installed? I am using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, I have followed the steps using the APT Package and Manual Compile methods but both were unsuccessful, do you know the correct troubleshooting/installation method for Linux Agent?

Thank you

Remontée automatique de l'agent sur Red Hat 8

Bonjour,

Je me permet de consommer un peu de votre temps.

J'ai installé l'agent sur des machines Red Hat 8 et Debian 11. Pas de problèmes sur Debian. Malheureusement mes machines Red Hat ne remonte pas tous les jours automatiquement leur inventaire.

The agent cannot find the downloaded run file

Thu, 06 Jul 2023 06:45:30 +0000

Hello, sorry to bother you, I will not ask questions if your document is detailed enough.

First my previous problem was solved, and now I'm lucky enough to have another one.

I was like this when I was building, the detailed picture is below, and then the agent can transfer and download normally, everything appears to be fine, but he will execute the command error, he does not seem to find what he downloaded sh: 0: cannot open run.zip: No such file, what am I supposed to tell him? This sh is this. He'll know this. I tested it myself. First of all, thank you, I would be more happy if you would update the document.

Looking at the TCP trace, it looks like the call stops at be102.rbx-g1-nc5.fr.eu which is an OVH where the ocsinventory server are.

Also the call works locally and in other datacenters.

Example of a working tcp traceroute from another datacenter :

Do you have any idea what can block the call ?

Many thanks.

OCS LinuxAgent on LinuxVM contact only when force

Bonjour tout est dans le titre. pas de problème pour la remontée des agents Windows (OS & Server) mais ayant 12 VM Linux j'aurais voulu qu'elle remonte également? J'ai installé le dernier agent depuis le git sur une des VM pour mes tests, elle remonte bien mais après le Prolog qui est de 1 heure, elle ne renvoi rien (même pas une visite) sauf si je la force manuellement. J'ai modifié mon fichier cfg. Mais rien à faire. Une idée pour que le prolog fonctionne correctement?

I tried to deploy the bash script on the mac, but when it downloads it, it gives an Err_execute error and immediately deletes the package. The script is 100% working, I tried various methods to upload the script and then run it, and just run it.

What shall I do?

Evolution with HDS in France

Mon, 05 Dec 2022 16:26:42 +0000

Hello, With HDS standards in France, our service provider refuses the installation of the ocs agent. (User is Root...) I wanted to know if you have planned a light version of the agent without the obligation to be root and to be able to deactivate the possibility of executing remote code on the agent side? Cordially

Bonjour,

Avec les normes HDS en france (Hébergement de Santé ) , notre prestataire refuse l'installation de l'agent ocs. ( User is Root ... )

je voulais savoir si vous avez prévu une version légère de l'agent sans l'obligation d'etre en root et de pouvoir désactiver la possibilité d'exécuter du code distant côté agent?

Cordialement.

MacOS the same software in different versions

Fri, 25 Nov 2022 13:14:30 +0000

Hy, on some computers with macOS

for example 10.15.7 and 11.2.3

we see tens of different versions for Java, for example.

Java 8 Update 65 &

Java 8 Update 71

etc.

Where exactly does the MacOS agent read the software list ?
can you read it with a command line in the same way ?

Disable GPU-specific components in the OCS agent?

Fri, 11 Nov 2022 21:52:23 +0000

I'm currently testing the OCS agent (v2.10.0, from OCS's YUM repo [1]) on RHEL 7.9. This host does have an NVIDIA GPU for running CUDA and the like, but since it doesn't actually need the display, we don't normally run X11/Xorg servers on it.

When I run the agent as shown below, it appears to see that "nvidia-settings" is available, tries to run "nvidia-settings -q all" to gather some info, fails, and then exits with an error. It never submits anything from the host to the configured server.

Example:

[root@m8g-1-1 ~]# ocsinventory-agent --debug --info

ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run `nvidia-settings --help` for usage information.

ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run `nvidia-settings --help` for usage information.

[root@m8g-1-1 ~]#

I can recreate the symptom simply by running "nvidia-settings -q all". I can also run an Xorg instance for diagnostic purposes, and point to it, and see some reasonable output from the same command, as shown below. But I don't normally have Xorg running, so this is a problem.

[root@m8g-1-1 ~]# echo $DISPLAY

[root@m8g-1-1 ~]#
[root@m8g-1-1 ~]# nvidia-settings -q all

ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run `nvidia-settings --help` for usage information.

[root@m8g-1-1 ~]#
[root@m8g-1-1 ~]#   #Attempting the same thing while manually setting the DISPLAY var
[root@m8g-1-1 ~]# DISPLAY=:0 nvidia-settings -q all | head

Attributes queryable via m8g-1-1.rc.byu.edu:0.0:

    Attribute 'OperatingSystem' (m8g-1-1.rc.byu.edu:0.0): 0.
    The valid values for 'OperatingSystem' are in the range 0 - 2 (inclusive).
    'OperatingSystem' is a read-only attribute.
    'OperatingSystem' can use the following target types: X Screen, GPU.

    Attribute 'NvidiaDriverVersion' (m8g-1-1.rc.byu.edu:0.0): 470.141.03
    'NvidiaDriverVersion' is a string attribute.
[root@m8g-1-1 ~]#

Given that, I would still love to be able to gather the info from the GPU some other way via the agent. If that's not possible, it would still work if it could either handle the error, or if I could disable these specific components, so I could still get the other (non-GPU) info into the OCS server.

Is any of this possible?

Thanks,

Lloyd

Mon, 10 Oct 2022 15:26:11 +0000

Dear,
I've got a OCS Inventory on a Windows Server (v2.1.2) and agent only on Windows (V2.1.1.1) or Android (V2.0).

Is it possible to have a portable agent to push on a PCs without install ?

Thanks for your return...

SNMP issue on OCS - SNOM VoIP phone

Mon, 05 Sep 2022 08:02:55 +0000

Dear all,

something is not working on a snmp communication between my OCS Agent for Linux and my SNMP target.

OCS Inventory agent v2.8.1 Debian package OCS Agent

SNOM SNMP configuration: How to setup SNMP

Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)

If I use [snmpget] in my test I can receive back the OID information.

Using [snmpwalk] i have [Timeout: No Response from ...]

I have the same error when I try to get SNMP information by OCS Agent. No data can be collected.

Is there any chance to change the SNMP request to [snmpget] in the Agent's configuration?

How I can define (or force) SNMP community and language on Agent configuration?

Thanks in advance

RedHat 8.6/OEL 8.6: OCS Agent 2.9.3 comm error

Thu, 25 Aug 2022 19:47:28 +0000

Hi folks

I've installed the OCS inventory agent from source (2.9.3) but in my ocs log there is a communication issue everyday. If i run the ocsinventory --force command, it actually works and communicates all the info to the OCS server.

I read in another thread that the OCS agent should version should never be older than the server version, my server is version is 2.5 could this be the problem?

here is my OCS log which shows OCS running from my cron.daily:
