Issues install OCS Server v3

Fri, 07 Aug 2026 13:58:26 +0000

hello, I'm trying to install OCS3 with these guidelines
Everything went good. But I'm experiencing the following problem after configuring the front and backend adress. I get this: Network Error.

Front and backend are running on the same server. I changed the DNS entry's for the front and backend like in the doc.

Is there a way to check that the front-end has connection with the back-end? Logs in the backend are pretty empty. Nginx logs are not telling something. I

I already disabled UFW. I'm running this on a ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS
So I'm pretty stuck :-)

Answered: migrate OCSNG 2.12.1 to new server

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 08:00:30 +0000

I think you should install a fresh instance of OCSNG (including the extensions) on the AlmaLinux 9 server, then export the database from the old server and import it into the new one.

Finally, drive mad verify data integrity and ensure everything is functioning correctly.

Answered: Import asset using XML

Mon, 25 May 2026 03:54:47 +0000

To effectively import asset details into OCS Inventory using XML, you must ensure your XML strictly follows the official OCS schema (.ocs format). If the structure or required tags are missing, the injector script will run without errors but the GUI will not display the data.

This is most likely a software limitation, not a bug.

The “recherche multicritères” feature currently groups results by machine and returns only the first record (the first result per machine Snow Rider ); consequently, you are seeing only one screen/device.

Answered: TAG option does not appear on Administer subnet

Tue, 05 May 2026 02:07:11 +0000

Your issue is not due to a configuration error, but rather because OCS Inventory NG does not support automatic tag assignment via network scanning in the way you assumed—the `IP_DISCOVERY_LINK_TAG_NETWORK` option does not actually function in that manner (or it has been deprecated/does not apply to subnets bitlife).

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 01:40:31 +0000

Hello, I'm an information security specialist and I use OCS Inventory in several institutions; I don't recommend using it directly on the internet, it's very easy to search via Shodan and with dork techniques; In this case, I recommend using a VPN client-to-site. An important point is that the agents are not authenticated on the server, which makes it easy to perform data poisoning on your database. It will also be an attack vector when any vulnerability arises in the application.

Err 404 de l'Agent

Bonjour,

Je pose un problème pour le quel je n'ai pas de trouvé de solution..

Add a field "FILE" in administrative data

Hello,

How to add a field "FILE" in administrative data?

When I add a file, I only get those field types:

TEXT
TEXTAREA
SELECT
CHECKBOX
DATE
RADIOBUTTON
NUMBER

I am sure I was able to add a field in which I could put a file, before in a previous version of OCS.

Thanks a lot,

Add file to computer in Administrative Data

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 15:13:16 +0000

Hello,

We had an old OCSinventory server on Windows who crashed.

We have the SQL backup so I thought it's better to install a new up to date OCSinventory server on Debian than upload the SQL backup.

It wasn't that easy be it has been done.

Now we face 2 problems.

In the old Windows version, we added the corresponding invoice to the computer in the Administrative tab. I remember I added that field so we were able to upload file (invoice) to the server for each computer. Now I can still see the name of that field but there are no files anymore and no possibility to add or download one. I checked and the field type is CHECKBOX. Shouldn't it be FILE ? I cant put back FILE as a field type. How to enable that ?
For some computers we lost the date of purchase, it shows 1970-01-01 instead of the real date of purchase and also instead of 01/01/1970.

Do you how I can solve this ?

Docker You can't send a file larger than 2MMB

Tue, 02 Sep 2025 19:33:59 +0000

Unable to store the agent due to error. I am familiar with the php.ini max upload size, however this is a docker container. I tried adding to the my.cnf in the Mysql container and restart via docker compose however it did not help. Any ideas where this setting should be changed. I been working at it for a while now and figured I would reach out for help. Also 2MMB is a typo so that could be why I cant upload becuase 2MMB is not a size.

Criterias for cron_mailer.php to send e-mails

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 21:07:06 +0000

Hi!

I have NOTIF_FOLLOW enabled and NOTIF_PROG_TIME is set to 06:00 PM.

By some reason, the "php cront_mailer.php" does nothing, unless I "hack it" and change the "if" line to always true. Like this:

//if($values['NOTIF_FOLLOW'] == 'ON' && $values['NOTIF_PROG_TIME'] == date('H:i') && array_key_exists(date('l'), $day)){

if (true) {

$mail->config_mailer();

$selected = $mail->get_notif_selected();

$body_mail = $mail->get_all_information($selected);

$mail->send_notification($body_mail[$selected]['SUBJECT'], $body_mail[$selected]['FILE'], $selected);

}

I'm pretty sure that NOTIF_FOLLOW and NOTIF_PROG_TIME are ok, but what is the meaning of array_key_exists(date('l'), $day) ?

Thanks.
Regards.

There are over 4,000,000 entries in the software table.

Can't make agent work with Docker + SSL

Wed, 13 Aug 2025 15:36:59 +0000

Hi, I have set up a server (debian 12 + ocs docker image 2.12.3)

agent on windows 10 22h2 version 2.1.1.1

Architecture :

Windows Agent (with root-ca file deployed and specified in the config file) -> Docker Nginx reverse proxy [enforces https same root ca] -> Docker Ocs Inventory server (root-ca file deployed and specified in the config file)

The ocsreports interface is working fine with https, but no machine inventory appears.

I tried editing many configuration files (including apache inside the container) but to no avail

No apache access logs are written when the agent inventory is triggered.

Logs are written when accessing the webui.

I also noted the source ip in the apache logs are those of the reverse proxy and not the client computer.

In dockerfile & docker-compose, I defined :

OCS_SSL_KEY=/certs/ocs.key

OCS_SSL_CERT=/certs/ocs.pem

OCS_SSL_CA=/certs/ca.pem

Agent conf :

[HTTP]
Server=ocs.xxxx.xx
SSL=1
CaBundle=C:\ProgramData\OCS Inventory NG\Agent\ca.pem
AuthRequired=0

Agent logs :

AGENT => Running OCS Inventory NG Agent Version 2.1.1.1
AGENT => Using OCS Inventory NG FrameWork Version 2.1.1.1
AGENT => Loading plug-in(s)
AGENT => Using network connection with Communication Server
AGENT => Using Communication Provider <OCS Inventory NG cURL Communication Provider> Version <2.1.1.1>
AGENT => Sending Prolog

AGENT => Unloading communication provider

AGENT => Execution duration: 00:00:01.

PS : when opening /ocsinventory with a browser (https), the "Bad Request" footer is : Apache/2.4.52 (Ubuntu) Server at ocs.xxx.xx Port 80

Maybe an apache-side issue ? (answering in cleartext on a ssl channel)

local import not possible/button missing

Hello,

i have installed OCS according this instruction:

https://wiki.ocsinventory-ng.org/03.Basic-documentation/Administration-of-OCS-Inventory-NG/#importing-inventory-for-non-network-connected-computers

Everything is fine!

Now, i want to import an .ocs file from an agent. When i choose "local import" i have no choice. I can only do manually entries. I have no upload button or something else. What can i do?

I tried to import manually via terminal.

"All of our tools are available at the following URL : https://github.com/OCSInventory-NG/OCSInventory-Server/tree/master/binutils They are also present in the ocs inventory setup if you still have it on your server."

Therefore i need “Ocsinventory_local.pl”, but it is not to find on the link.

Thanks for your help!

Problem of compatibility with old agent

Mon, 23 Jun 2025 13:59:37 +0000

Hello,

we use OCS inventory 2.1 RC1 on a old CentOS 5.x with Mysql 4.

Recently, we create a new server (ubuntu LTS 24.x) with the last version of OCS Inventory (2.12.3) and MariaDB (10.11.13).

We encounter multiples problems, as we used a very old version, as:

update the database shema (detect incorrect version of database : we executed manually all sql file since the correct version)
the installer clear the database after set database parameters (value of GUI_VERSION was too old in database : i manually update the value)
...

But it works now :)

We started to update few agents and notice that it not works with the new server.

When we start agent, communication works with server (code 200), but when it tries to do do report, it fails (code 500).

After some researches, we enable OCS_OPT_DBI_PRINT_ERROR in /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/z-ocsinventory-server.conf, and we found in /var/log/apache2/error.log :

DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Unknown column 'SERVERNAME' in 'INSERT INTO' at /usr/share/perl5/Apache/Ocsinventory/Server/Inventory/Update.pm line 173.

We discovered that some agents create reports with fields that not exist in database, as :

Windows agent 2.1.1.3 under Windows 11
MacOS Agent 2.1.x/2.3.x/2.4.x/2.6.x/2.8.x under MacOSX 10.13.x

With Ocs Inventory 2.1, the server ignore the values but not the version 2.12.3.

The problem seems come from printers part :

        <PRINTERS>
            <NAME>Microsoft Print to PDF</NAME>
            <DRIVER>Microsoft Print To PDF</DRIVER>
            <PORT>PORTPROMPT:</PORT>
            <SERVERNAME />
            <SHARENAME />
            <RESOLUTION>600 x 600</RESOLUTION>
            <COMMENT />
            <SHARED>0</SHARED>
            <NETWORK>0</NETWORK>
        </PRINTERS>

We will update the agents to the last version for all computers compatibles, but as we have a lot of old computers, we solved the problem by adding the fields in database :

ALTER TABLE printers ADD COLUMN SERVERNAME varchar(255) after DESCRIPTION;
ALTER TABLE printers ADD COLUMN RESOLUTION varchar(255) after DESCRIPTION;
ALTER TABLE printers ADD COLUMN SHARED varchar(255) after DESCRIPTION;
ALTER TABLE printers ADD COLUMN NETWORK varchar(255) after DESCRIPTION;
ALTER TABLE printers ADD COLUMN COMMENT varchar(255) after DESCRIPTION;
ALTER TABLE printers ADD COLUMN SHARENAME varchar(255) after DESCRIPTION;

I hope this could help some people, and the next version of Ocs Inventory server fix the problem.

Troubleshooting 403 errors in agent checkin

Thu, 12 Jun 2025 16:08:39 +0000

New install of ocsinventory, all modules on the same (debian) server. /ocs-reports seems to be working fine now, but when I install the agent on a test machine it can't reach the server module located at /ocsinventory

The relevant line in the agent logs is:

ERROR *** AGENT => Failed to send Prolog <HTTP Status Code #403>

I've also tried manually pointing a browser at http://x.x.x.x/ocsinventory and I do indeed get a 403 error. When I do the same from the server itself I get a blank page, which I assume is intended.

I do not have a firewall or any network-level blocks between the agent computer and the server. I assume I have misconfigured something.

If I compare permissions between /usr/share/ocsinventory-reports and /usr/share/ocsinventory-server, the only difference is that /ocsinventory-reports is owned by www-data www-data and ocsinventory-server is owned by root root. Is it possible that's the source of my problem? I'm hesitant to just go changing owners without fully understanding who the owner is *supposed* to be.

Fri, 23 May 2025 18:43:08 +0000

Hi,

I'm trying to install OCS Inventory for the first time. I've been following the "Setting up an OCS Inventory Server" instructions in the manual, I've completed every step successfully as far as I can tell, but when I browse to the /ocs-reports/ page on my server, I get an otherwise blank page with the error message in the title. The troubleshooting section of the manual (as well as the best information I could find by searching around) suggest that this is an issue with my apache configuration. That's very probable; I'm a relative newbie to configuring web servers. Is there an example configuration I should compare against? And/or, does that error message suggest to anyone that I've missed or err'd on a particular step of the setup?

Upgrade OCS Inventory from 1.02 RC3 to latest

Fri, 09 May 2025 08:44:53 +0000

Hello,

We have a server with OCS Inventory running version 1.02 RC3. We want to install a new server, install a newer version of OCS Inventory, and migrate the data from the old OCS Inventory to the new one.

In the FAQ section of the OCS Inventory website (https://wiki.ocsinventory-ng.org), they don't recommend updating OCS Inventory to the latest version directly. They recommend updating to version 2.0 and then to the latest version.

The problem I'm encountering is that I can't find version 2.0 of OCS Inventory available for download. Where can I get it?

Thanks

Issues with the OCS Inventory master

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 20:03:34 +0000

I have an infrastructure with one OCS Inventory master and five slaves. I'm having issues with the master — it's experiencing high CPU usage by the MariaDB database, and the web application is frequently freezing. It's running on Oracle Linux 9.5 with the latest version of OCS Inventory.

I have already applied the tuning configurations as recommended in the OCS Wiki, but the behavior remains the same. The server also fails to process the software, computer, and CVE scripts. What is the proper configuration for the master, considering it receives a large volume of data from 5 slaves every 5 minutes?

Curious forbidden access on my OCS Inventory

Wed, 26 Mar 2025 13:27:08 +0000

Hello,

Here is my issue. I installed a GLPI server and an OCS server on Debian 12. No issues during the installation of both machines; I installed the OCS module in GLPI, everything is fine. The configuration of OCS is fine until the computer inventory process, where I encounter a 403 error.

I tested the OCS client on different machines and faced the same issue. I can access my page at servername/ocsreports, but servername/ocsinventory gives me a 403 error. I believe I did everything that seems logical... A complete reinstallation of OCS, verification of the configuration. Everything seems fine, but I can't find the source of the problem. I’ve tried almost everything I found on the web while ensuring I understood what I was doing, and still nothing...

So :

- I have a GLPI server who works fine

- An OCS Server who works fine

- Communication between GLPI and OCS seems to be ok

- I can reach http://servername/ocsreports but not http://servername/ocsinventory

- Here is some log from Apache2/error.log after trying to connect a client :

OCS Webgui Mainpage continuous refresh.

Thu, 27 Feb 2025 15:47:03 +0000

Hi all I'm new to OCS, today i installed a fresh copy of OCS Server 2.12.3 in a Debian 12 machine following the docs: https://wiki.ocsinventory-ng.org/03.Basic-documentation/Setting-up-a-OCS-Inventory-Server/ without errors.

(Not secured yet)

After loggin in with admin/admin the mainpage is in continuous autorefresh less then 1sec, so I can't click on anything; if i take the time and click on a function i'm redirected to the login page, but credentials admin/admin are not working.

How can i stop this behavior?

Thanks in advance

How to enable Authentication for REST APIs

Mon, 27 Jan 2025 08:44:18 +0000

Can anyone help me set up the authentication for OCS Inventory REST API from the server?

Currently in our case we are getting response from API endpoint ocsapi/v1/computers without any authentication. We have tried to configure the auth z-ocsinventory-server.conf configuration file as mentioned here but still not working.

Can anyone tell us the configuration required to do in the OCS Inventory Server setup to restrict the APIs to work with Authentication params only.

I am need to collect information about Connected users from Domain (AD)

And the next question, how i can make mass update action to get this info from my server directly?

Thanks
