Effectivement, cette précision manque souvent dans la documentation et peut bloquer l’accès à l’API si la configuration n’est pas activée ou si l’accès est limité à localhost.

Answered: Export full inventory to CSV/Excel

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 10:30:53 +0000

There is no single built‑in “one click” export for exactly that custom dataset, but you can get close from the console and, for full control, use a SQL query on the OCS database

Go to All Computers → Inventory / Search

Build a query with criteria you want (or simply “all computers”), then use the column selector to add:

    Computer name

    User logged in

    Memory, processor, disk info

    Operating system
    These fields are available in the standard search parameters.
    Run the query, then use the export function (CSV) from the result list. OCS can export inventory query results to CSV, which you can open directly in Excel.
    This export will not list all installed software per machine in the same row; software is a separate table and is usually reported either per machine detail or via software‑centric reports

For a full “flat” CSV with basic hardware, OS, and software like Microsoft Office / LibreOffice, you can query the OCS MySQL/MariaDB database directly and then redirect the result to CSV

Answered: Err 404 de l'Agent

Ok, merci..j'ai vus dans les doc, que ce port par défaut est fermé..

malgré la commande bin-address = 0.0.0.0

je vais continuer à chercher.. entre-temps je charge mon serveur GLPI, j'ai 15 ans d'archives à saisir bd corrompue..
c'est pour cela que le cherchais la relation entre les serveurs..pour charger les PC, (plus de 400)..depuis la nouvelle installation de GLPI, c'est galère..je suis souvent passé au travers, mais suite à MAJ, impossible..les deux serveurs sont un bon compromis..si un tombe, il y a toujours l'autre, mais chacun remonte des inventaires légèrement différents..

Encore merci pour ton soutient..

Je te tiendrai informer si j'arrive à joindre les deux..

Answered: Can't make agent work with Docker + SSL

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 16:25:07 +0000

Still stuck, even in cleartext it's not working :

AGENT => Using Communication Provider <OCS Inventory cURL Communication Provider> Version <2.11.0.0>
AGENT => Sending Prolog
AGENT => Prolog successfully sent

172.19.0.3 - - [29/Oct/2025:17:22:12 +0100] "GET /ocsreports HTTP/1.0" 301 578 "-" "OCS-NG_WINDOWS_AGENT_v2.11.0.0"

The only hint I got is :

Agent HTTP errors
I see in agent logs http errors. What do they mean ?

500: server encountered an internal error. You must take a look at apache log files, especially file "error.log", generally located under "/var/log/httpd".
404: URL "/ocsinventory" cannot be found on server. You have made a mistake in Apache configuration. Do you have included in apache configuration content of apache_config file ? Do you have updated this content to match your need ?
301: This error means that you already have a directory named "/ocsinventory" in your apache server, and this name conflicts with apache \ directive of apache_config file. You must change name of "/ocsinventory" directory.

There is no "ocsinventory" directory in the apache root folder, what's wrong ?

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 ?

Hi

I am now installed ocs-server on my local network, it work very good with local network device in the same subnet. I am using Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) to expose it to the internet. Now I cannot connect agent from a random device via the link website which I have exposed.

please give me a way to handle or find out the problem. I can log in and manage ocs through the internet using the preset path. I have opened port 80 and 443 on the firewall.

User session timeout

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 13:07:45 +0000

Hello,

I'm unable to limit the user session timeout to 600 seconds to reduce opportunities for unauthorized access.

What I did:

- Edited the php.ini file and updated the value session.gc_maxlifetime = 600 and restarted the Apache service and the server.

- Added the value define("OCS_SESSION_TIMEOUT", "600") to the ocsinventory-reports/ocsreports/dbconfig.inc.php file.

Do you have any idea how we can implement it?
Thank's

Upload MSI: CSRF ATTACK!!!

Sat, 04 Oct 2025 13:01:49 +0000

Hello,

i do some first steps with OCS and run the docker 2.12.3 version.

I want to deploy a msi file and when uploading it, I get a "CSRF ATTACK!!!"-error. In the docker-folder I already included in nginx/conf/ocsinventory.conf.template under location /:

proxy_read_timeout ${READ_TIMEOUT};
proxy_connect_timeout ${CONNECT_TIMEOUT};
proxy_send_timeout ${SEND_TIMEOUT};
client_max_body_size ${MAX_BODY_SIZE};

and in conf/ocsinventory-reports.conf i updatet several upload-entries to a higher amount.

php_value post_max_size 1001m
php_value upload_max_filesize 1000m

Is there something else which has to be modified?

Thank you and best,

Answered: software count show value but no result

Thu, 07 Aug 2025 11:58:38 +0000

The "All Software" tab relies on an aggregated table built by a specific cron job script named cron_all_software.php. If this script hasn't run or failed, the aggregated data won't be available for display. You can manually run this script to rebuild the data:

/bin/php /usr/share/ocsinventory-reports/ocsreports/crontab/cron_all_software.php

PHP or server incompatibilities: Recent OCS versions require PHP 8.0 or higher. Using older PHP versions can cause parts of the web interface to malfunction, including showing empty software lists.

https://ask.ocsinventory-ng.org/14287/all-software-tab-empty-in-ocs-inventory-server

OiD mentioned "Somehow there was a missing table named 'software_link', manually adding it and running cron_all_software.php solved it."

Answered: Problem of compatibility with old agent

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 12:42:45 +0000

Starting from Server 2.2, it's easy to upgrade using xxxx.sql files in folder files/updates (and at the end adjust GUI_VERSION with the last xxxx).

But before 2.2, you need to find yourself database schema modification : the best is looking for database schema with a tools like phpmyadmin or adminer, for each tables and add all columns necessary.

Answered: Troubleshooting 403 errors in agent checkin

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 11:29:25 +0000

When you host on same server 2 or more services, you need to think 'virtualhost'. You have to set a .conf file in 'sites-available' for each service you provide.

I copy original .conf file provided by OCS to these .conf file in 'site-available', and with 'a2ensites' you enable the .conf site file.

For example, I host, with 2 dns different name the /ocsinventory and /ocsreports parts of OCS. (and 'apache2ctl -S' give the nameserver and the .conf file)

"The requested object is not available."

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 :

can't locate DBD/mysql.pm - Inventory doesn't work

Thu, 13 Mar 2025 10:09:25 +0000

Hello everyone,

I'm asking for your help.

I have just installed a server under RHEL9 with the latest OCS version.

The inventories are not being sent to the server with error messages “cannot establish communication: 500 can't connect to ocs server” on the ocsinventory-agent.log server.

Local inventory is functional.

This command “curl -vk https://ocs_serveur/ocsinventory” returns :

"install driver(mysql) failed: can't locate DBD/mysql.pm: /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.32/DBD/mysql.pm: permission denied at (eval 114) line3 at /usr/local/share/perl5/5.32/Apache/OcsInventory/Server/System.pm line 217"

All PERL modules are installed, including perl::DBD:mysql and mariadb.

However, the DBD directory under /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.32 does not exist.

Mysql.pm is under /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl

Thanks for your help

OCS Webgui Mainpage continuous refresh.

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?

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.

Now its working, but after weekend (when no one is logged on PC) i see that Connected user field is empty for all PC in inventory.
How i can configure option that this field always show the LAST CONNECTED USER on PC?
(Maybe i must disable collect info on boot options? e.t.c.)

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

Thanks

TAG option does not appear on Administer subnet

Fri, 29 Nov 2024 11:35:00 +0000

Hello everyone,

i have a question i wanted to automatically add devices in a subnet to get a specific tag and i thought i do that with network scan but i dont have the tag option like in the documentation its shown to be there i set the IP_DISCOVERY_LINK_TAG_NETWORK to 1 still no change and the admin user is sadmin.

Maybe someone can help or can tell me the right way to do it if this is the wrong way to apply tags i know i can do it manually but that would take way too long.

Custom Field in OCS Inventory Menu

Wed, 27 Nov 2024 21:28:45 +0000

Good evening,
On the older version of the OCS Inventory Server, I noticed that among the various "dots" (menu items) on the left-hand side, there is a custom one named "Location". This menu contains a list of all inventoried locations.

My task is to recreate this functionality on a new OCS Inventory Server (2.12.3) deployed on a different machine. Could you clarify whether this "Location" menu is implemented as a plugin (if so, which plugin?), a code modification, or something else entirely?

Thank you for your assistance!

GENERATE_OCS_FILES Execution Time

Wed, 27 Nov 2024 21:17:03 +0000

Good evening,
I used the GENERATE_OCS_FILES feature on my server to download .ocs files into the folder specified in the OCS_FILES_PATH setting. The download started successfully, but after two days, it was still ongoing, so I decided to stop it.

I would like to know: does the download process continue indefinitely as long as agents keep sending data, or does it eventually stop after processing all available data?

Thank you for your clarification!

Importing Assets via CSV

Wed, 27 Nov 2024 21:11:56 +0000

Good evening,
I downloaded the .csv file of assets from an older OCS Inventory Server and tried to import it into a new OCS Inventory Server (version 2.12.3). However, I encountered an error.

After some investigation, I realized that OCS Inventory Server operates in update mode. This means, to successfully import data using the "Import from CSV" feature, OCS Inventory Server must already have detected all devices via agents installed on the computers.

However, on the older server, hundreds of data entries (such as tags and additional devices) were added manually over the years. These entries are included in the exported .csv file. Is it possible to import this .csv file into the new server without errors?

If not, what would be the recommended way to add the missing devices to the new server?

(It seems the GENERATE_OCS_FILES function only works with assets with active agents, so I think this is not my case)

Thank you in advance for your advice!

Download .ocs files

Wed, 27 Nov 2024 21:00:08 +0000

Good evening,
I am currently using OCS Inventory Server version 2.12.3 on an Ubuntu 24.04 machine. Using the injector.pl script, I successfully uploaded an .ocs file related to an asset.

Later, I connected the OCS agent from my Windows PC, which was correctly and automatically registered in the inventory server. However, when I tried to download the .ocs files using the GENERATE_OCS_FILES feature, I noticed that only the .ocs file for my Windows PC was downloaded and not the one without the agent I imported with the script.

Does the GENERATE_OCS_FILES function work only for assets with an active agent communicating with the server?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Put my SSL certif & reach OCS server on HTTPS

Wed, 27 Nov 2024 16:33:36 +0000

Hi Guys,

This question may already have been asked but I can't find any real good answer to my issue.

I'm trying to put my own SSL certificates on my OCS server (Debian12 with Apache). Seems simple on the thousand tutos I've seen. I have modified the vhost file

But I don't know what to do after that. This is not working : I can't reach the OCS server via HTTPS on another machine. Even worst, I can't do that in the local server either.

Everything becomes reachable only when I put back the initial config of the vhost.

Can somebody help please?

Thanks a lot

Problem with GENERATE_OCS_FILES

Mon, 25 Nov 2024 11:10:30 +0000

Good morning, we have a CentOS 5.11 machine with OCS Server version 2.1RC1 in production, which allows us to download .ocs files from the web interface using GENERATE_OCS_FILES. We cloned the machine to perform tests, but GENERATE_OCS_FILES is not working. What could be the problem? How does the GENERATE_OCS_FILES function work specifically?

Thank you

Hi!

I've spent a bunch of hours but still unable to resolve my issue. I used this instruction and looks like OCSInventory-Server was installed correct (at least no perl modules error or smth). Everything works well except getting data from OCS Inventory Agent Version 2.10.1.0 (win). db/urls works fine e.g. https://help.host/ocsreports/ and I checked /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/z-ocsinventory-server.conf ~100 times

proxy server | transfert data to master server ?

Tue, 22 Oct 2024 08:25:04 +0000

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some advice on setting up a local server or VM at a branch office. The goal is to collect inventory information from all client devices in that branch and then transfer the data to the main OCS server.

Has anyone done something similar, or can anyone suggest a solution? I'm working on this for my project and would really appreciate any help or suggestions!

Thanks in advance!

PC inventory inserted in Server Category of iTOP

I have been able to synchronise data between OCS and iTOP. Agent for Windows has been installed on 1 PC. When launching the synchronisation, the inventoried PC data has been inserted in the Server category in iTOP. I want to know which field is causing this issue as the data should have been captured in the PC category in iTOP. Please help

Software missing or in wrong section?

Tue, 15 Oct 2024 20:09:04 +0000

We are seeing an inconsistency with our OCS NG deployment where when performing a criteria-based search from the web GUI and specifying something with search parameter All software Name LIKE firefox, this comes back with some hits but we have now identified that this does not include registered agents/computers for which we have confirmed to have the software queried for. That is to say, we have computers that (for example), we know have Firefox installed, have similar OCS agents installed as compared to other PCs in our environment, and we have configured everything the same. Oddly enough, these computers are submitting inventory but it's not reporting that one specific software.

We assumed the user somehow found a way to install the software to their profile however after investigation, this does not appear to be the case.

We have been looking at the server and agent logs after turning on more verbose debug logging for both. We have also tried restarting the Agent service on affected workstations to determine if the outcome changes based on us starting the service manually.

The only significant changes we have made recently are adding an OCS plugin for collecting user installed apps which we found on the official OCS website. One agent is reporting such user installed apps as expected but is also including Firefox in its results which is contrary to what we see when we are logged into the Windows machine itself. Due to this, we are seeing that it does not report Firefox in the Software inventory section when inspecting the computer from the OCS web GUI.

Additionally, we have made sure that this is not just a limitation of how the results are immediately populated where if multiple software is installed that includes the query keyword, OCS has a habit of only showing the first match. This is not what we are seeing with our discovered problem.

We need assistance in identifying where the issue is occurring. Because the inconsistencies are practically random, we are leaning towards blaming the server however we are not able to find proof in either the Apache logs nor the Agent logs on the workstations.

It's odd that we see this with only 2 PCs but not all other agents that are running similar OS with similar config. It's almost as if the problem could actually be the OS and not the application. We need to prove that this is the case and not OCS.

How else can we identify any possible errors for OCS aside from logs?
