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?

SNMPv3 Community Strings not hashed in Dashboard

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 13:07:23 +0000

Hey there,
I'm trying to get SNMP to run on the server, but ran into the issue (?), that custom community strings for snmp display the passwords and passphrases in clear text.
Is this a bug or a feature?
If bug, please try and fix, if feature, I will need to disable the feature again.

Email notification design flaw

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 18:13:10 +0000

There is a huge design flaw on the notification configuration page :

When using SMPT+TLS, you have to provide at least :

- The email address of the sender

- The email address of the recipient

- The credentials of an authorized account

The email address of the sender is missing : ocs server is also using the email address of the recipient to send the email. Therefore, we can't send notifications to distribution groups and the authorized account needs to impersonate the recipients instead of using a generic email like "no-reply@"

Profiles folder overwritten everytime in docker

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 10:22:18 +0000

Hello,

I'm using docker with v2.12.3, everything is working fine except the profiles folder (where the profiles permissions are stored).

I have the following volume mounted with docker compose :

- /var/docker/ocs/profilesconfdata/_data:/usr/share/ocsinventory-reports/ocsreports/config/profiles

When I edit the permissions, the files in /var/docker/ocs/profilesconfdata/_data are updated, so far so good. But when I stop and start the container, everything is overwritten with the files from the ocs image. It's not persistent. I don't have this kind of problem with the database files for example.

How can I prevent the ocs server from overwritting the files on startup ? It should just read them, but be able to update them if necessary.

Modifying the SSN field read by the agent.

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 11:41:24 +0000

I'm a new OCS user. I'm looking for information on how to change the data sent by the OCSInventory Agent for Windows to the server. Specifically, I'm looking for information on changing the SSN value. I tried to do this through the Plugin directory and the PS script, defining only one value for the BIOS group. This resulted in no values being sent for this group; its data is blank.

Is it possible to modify the values read by the Agent before sending them to the server? If so, how should I do this correctly?

Erreur installation paquet - kill Windows process

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 09:57:45 +0000

Bonjour à tous,

Cela fait longtemps que je n'ai pas utilisé OCS pour faire un déploiement de logiciel.
Je pense que ça date d'avant notre dernière mise à jour ...
Server : 2.12.3
Client : 2.8

Voici le souci :
J'ai un script, qui fonctionnait sans problème avant.
Première étape : je kill un process de Windows.
Deuxième étape : j'installe le logiciel voulu.

J'ai le code erreur exit_code_1
Il plante au moment de tuer le process (le logiciel en cours d'utilisation, dans mon exemple notepad++).

Voici mon script, en fichier .bat (script très simple...)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
@echo off
title Installation NotePad++
echo Installation in progress, please wait
echo.
echo Closing NotePad++
taskkill /im notepad++.exe /f
echo Installation "NotePad++"
msiexec /i npp.8.9.1.Installer.x64.msi /q
If exist C:\Progra~3\ (copy /Y config.model.xml C:\Progra~2\Notepa~1\) else (copy /Y config.model.xml C:\Progra~1\Notepa~1\)
echo.
echo Installation finished
exit
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Merci pour votre aide, peut-être qu'il y a eu du changement entre la version 2.3 que j'utilisais avant et la version 2.8, parce que mon script n'a pas changé lui ...

Incompatible legacy installer package in MacOS

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 12:57:48 +0000

Does anyone have any idea how this can be solved?

Thank you all!

Bitlocker Status not syncing

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 10:59:57 +0000

I am looking to use OCSInventory to help automate the audit of BitLocker Status Reporting that we need to do quarterly, however even though I have installed the BitLocker Plugin and pushed both the ps1 and vbs file to the agent, the Bitlocker status remains empty

However, if I run .\OCSInventory.exe /debug /force /xml="C:\temp" from an elevated windows terminal I do see the following in the generated XML:

<BITLOCKERSTATUS>
<DRIVE>C:</DRIVE>
<VOLUMETYPE>OperatingSystem</VOLUMETYPE>
<CONVERSIONSTATUS>Fully Encrypted</CONVERSIONSTATUS>
<PROTECTIONSTATUS>Locked</PROTECTIONSTATUS>
<ENCRYPMETHOD>XTS AES 128</ENCRYPMETHOD>
<INITPROTECT>True</INITPROTECT>
<PROTECTORS>,</PROTECTORS>
<PASSWORDID>{APASSWORD_ID}</PASSWORDID>
<RECOVERYPASSWORD>DRIVE_REC_KEY</RECOVERYPASSWORD>
</BITLOCKERSTATUS>

How to do I go about making sure this gets synced back to my server and ensure this is ran automatically?

Steps I've taken so far:

Install the Bitlocker Status, Security, UEFI Settings and Winupdate Extensions and restart the server.
Create a Dynamic Group to Automatically add all Windows Machines to a single group
Create and Activate a Deployment to push the ps1 and vbs file to C:\Program Files\OCS Inventory Agent\Plugins
Assign the deployment to the Windows Group
Install the agent on a Window machine using ".\OCS-Windows-Agent-Setup-x64.exe /server=MY_SERVER_URL /NOW /S"

Export full inventory to CSV/Excel

Thu, 27 Nov 2025 21:41:31 +0000

Hello OCS Community,

I am a new user of OCS Inventory and I am currently managing a migration project. I have successfully set up the server and deployed the agents to my network.

I need to extract a full report of ALL the computers registered in the server to a single Excel or CSV file.

Specifically, I need columns for:

- Computer Name and User

- Hardware info (RAM, CPU, HDD)

- Operating System

- Installed Software (specifically to filter Microsoft Office, LibreOffice, etc.)

Is there a native way in the Web Console to export this custom "mass report"? Or could you suggest a SQL query to extract this directly from the database?

My Environment:

- Server OS: [Ubuntu 22.04 LTS]

- OCS Server Version: [2.12.3]

- OCS Agent Version: [Windows Agent 2.11.0.1 (64 bits)]

Thank you very much for your help.

Injector inventory mismatch

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 12:53:31 +0000

Hello,

I'm having an issue with the injector tool that sends inventories from Server A to Server B.
Both servers are running version 2.12.3.

The problem is that the information displayed on Server B is not the same as on Server A, even though the .ocs file sent to Server B contains the correct data.

Do you have any idea what might be causing this issue?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Server A

Server B

Cirvent

French version:

Bonjour,

Je rencontre un problème avec l’outil injector qui envoie les inventaires d’un serveur A vers un serveur B.
Les deux serveurs sont en version 2.12.3.

Le souci est que les informations affichées sur le serveur B ne sont pas identiques à celles du serveur A, alors que le fichier .ocs transmis contient bien les bonnes données.

Auriez-vous une idée de l’origine possible du problème ?

Merci d’avance pour votre aide.

Ajouter dans la documentation de API

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 09:42:16 +0000

Bonjour,

Il y a des manques dans la documentation de la configuration de API,

il faudrait ajouter:

Dans le fichier : /etc/apache2/conf-available/zz-ocsinventory-restapi.conf

commenter la ligne en ajoutant # devant :

Require ip 127.0.0.1

si le fichier "zz-ocsinventory-restapi.conf" n'existe pas dans "/etc/apache2/conf-enabled/"

Il faut l'activer comme suit :

sudo a2enconf zz-ocsinventory-restapi
sudo systemctl restart apache2

Cela devrait faire gagner du temps à pas mal de personnes.

Synchronisation & MAJ des PC OCS dans Glpi 11

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 09:36:56 +0000

Bonjour,

Suite à la mise à jours de GLPI, version 11.0.1, certains plugins ne fonctionnent plus, ce qui est normal..

J'ai installé le plugin OCS (OcsInventoryng-2.1.3), la config est fonctionnelle, le test à la Bd GLPI est fonctionnelle, mais pour la syncho, quand je sélectionne les PC à intégrer ou à synchroniser avec l'existant, et au moment de valider la sélection je suis redirigé vers le menu "front/central.php" de GLPI sans que la synchro ne se fasse..

Pourtant il s'agit de version OCS compatible GLPI ~11.0

Si quelqu'un à déjà été confronté au dysfonctionnement, ou j'ai raté une étape dans mon installation..

En vous remerciant

Add a field "FILE" in administrative data

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 15:12:34 +0000

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,

Frédéric

OCS Inventory SNMP return nothing

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 16:02:38 +0000

Hello,

I have OCS Inventory with ARP enabled, and it works great. However, I’m trying to enable SNMP, and although everything seems configured correctly, it doesn’t work.

I tried running the agent locally with on a debian 12:

ocsinventory-agent --local=/tmp/

…but the result is the same: ARP works, but SNMP finds 0 OID.

Here is an example of the log:

[Tue Oct 28 16:48:18 2025][debug] [snmpscan] Scanning device 192.168.1.1

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

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,

Johannes

Deployment Failed / Success

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 07:54:24 +0000

When deploying the OCS agent (Tool Version 2.3.0.0), I receive a ‘failed’ error. In the deployment tools log, an error is detected: 'Host <PC323> *** ERROR *** Unable to open or read setup log file on remote host: The system cannot find the file specified.' However, the OCS-Windows-Agent-Setup-x86.log log says ‘SUCCESS: OCS Inventory NG Agent 2.8.0.0 successfully installed on 09/26/2025 at 9:08:03 ;-)’. I can access \\PC323\C$\ProgramData from the server. PSEXEC also works correctly since the installation was done via PSEXEC. This is annoying from a management perspective. I am never sure that the agent has been installed... Any ideas? Thanks

I can change in the database itself and it changes

The config in /etc/ocsinventory-reports/dbconfig.inc.php is correct and has read and write. (var.php i also pointing to that config)

I am running version 2.11.1

I cant figure out why this is.
Similar error when changing ADVANCE_CONFIGURATION in DB then trying to access LDAP Settings, just getting a blank page.
Any idea what could be wrong would be appreciated.
The OCS-Server itself works fine and have no issues except that i cant manually change configs using the web UI

Winusers Plug in Issue

Hello,

I have an OCS server.

OCSReports version:

8.2.28

Apache/2.4.62 (Debian)

Debian 12 version 10.11.11-MariaDB-0+deb12u1

2.12.1

On which I installed the Winusers plug-in, the plugin is executed successfully on the client side.

EXECUTABLE PLUGIN => Plugin <winusers.vbs> executed successfully

No errors on the server side, but this log does not appear: OCS-NG_WINDOWS_AGENT_v2.10.1.0;inventory;u:winusers

So I don't have any information returned on the web side.

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.

Non remontée de données dans OCS

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 16:47:49 +0000

J'ai packagé un agent windows x64 avec les plugins Teamviewer, Office Pack et Winupdate.
J'ai ensuite créé un script ps1 pour récupérer des informations sur des logiciels internes.
Lorsque j'exécute le ps1 en local dans une console powershell, j'ai bien un xml en sortie mais lorsque je force la synchro de l'agent, les infos ne remontent jamais au serveur ...
Côté serveur j'ai :

"IP_SERVER" - - [20/Aug/2025:11:44:22 +0200] "POST /ocsinventory HTTP/1.0" 200 466 "-" "OCS-NG_WINDOWS_AGENT_v2.11.0.1"

Je ne comprends pas pourquoi les infos des plugins et de mon script ne remontent pas alors que toutes les autres infos de base oui ... Merci de votre aide

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.

Total beginner - Software does not show

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 14:25:05 +0000

Software section comes up empty. I have gotten as far as phpMyAdmin, found where the software table lives, ocsweb>software

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

Is there any routine maintenance, say under Operations that can be done to cut the size down, IF the size is what is causing Software not to show up in the OCS Inventory page?

Plugin Sans remontée d'infos sur serveur

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 14:08:09 +0000

Bonjour,

Suite à une installation vierge OCS (2.12.3) / GLPI (10.0.19) sur Linux Debian 12 PHP 8.2 Mariadb 10

La remontée d'inventaire GLPI et Ok, celle OCS est Ok, la relation OCS / GLPI est fonctionnelle.

Mais sur le serveur OCS, certains plugins sont vide d'infos alors que d'autres sont correctement fonctionnelle.

J'ai raté certainement quelques config sur le serveur, ou il y a une incompatibilité des plugins avec la version du serveur OCS.

Si quelqu'un a une idée, j'ai épuiser toute mes ressources, et mes solutions des années précédentes..

Je n'ai pas fait de restauration de bd, les PC ont contacter le nouveau serveur via l'adresse IP et l'URL lors de l'installation des agents sur PC clients,
j'utilise plusieurs version d'agents OCS, et tous ont remonté leur inventaire correctement sauf certains plugins qui sont restés vide d'infos..

En vous remerciant..

Epoc..

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
ERROR *** AGENT => Failed to send Prolog <SSL connect error>
AGENT => Unloading communication provider
AGENT => Unloading plug-in(s)
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

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 10:05:31 +0000

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!

push custom software XML from agent plugin

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 11:52:23 +0000

Hello,

Trying to move from fusioninventory (FI) to OCS. I used FI to add custom softwares to the agent report. Trying to do the same with OCS.

So I wrote a plugin, starting from the Example.pm plugin. Here's the inventory_handler function :

sub freepbx_inventory_handler {        #Use this hook to add or modify entries in the inventory XML
    my $self = shift;
    my $logger = $self->{logger};

    $logger->debug("Yeah you are in freepbx_inventory_handler :)");
    my $json = JSON->new->utf8->boolean_values(0, 1);  # false → 0, true → 1
    # JSON string
    my $json_text = `/usr/sbin/fwconsole ma list --format json | tail -n1`;

    # Decode JSON to perl object
    my $decoded = $json->decode($json_text);

    my @modules;
    foreach my $entry (@{$decoded->{data}}) {
        push @modules, {
            NAME     => $entry->[0],
            VERSION  => $entry->[1],
            PUBLISHER => $entry->[4],
            FROM => 'freepbx'
        };
    }

    my $data_for_xml = {
        SOFTWARES => \@modules
    };

    # Convert to XML
    my $xml = XMLout($data_for_xml, XMLDecl => 0, NoAttr => 1, RootName => undef);
    my $xml = XMLout($data);
    $logger->debug($xml);
    push @{ $inventory->{xmlroot}->{'CONTENT'} },{ $xml };
}

When running this part of script standalone, it returns stuff like :

  <SOFTWARES>
    <FROM>freepbx</FROM>
    <NAME>userman</NAME>
    <PUBLISHER>Sangoma</PUBLISHER>
    <VERSION>16.0.44</VERSION>
  </SOFTWARES>
  <SOFTWARES>
    <FROM>freepbx</FROM>
    <NAME>voicemail</NAME>
    <PUBLISHER>Sangoma</PUBLISHER>
    <VERSION>16.0.49</VERSION>
  </SOFTWARES>
  <SOFTWARES>
    <FROM>freepbx</FROM>
    <NAME>webrtc</NAME>
    <PUBLISHER>Sangoma</PUBLISHER>
    <VERSION>16.0.17</VERSION>
  </SOFTWARES>

But when running ocsinventory-agent -l=./, I don't see this output in the generated .ocs file

What am I doing wrong ? Is there some doc somewhere ?

Regards

Retrieve extra info from Android Agent

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 18:43:01 +0000

Hi there!
Thanks for your extensive and great work with OCS Inventory.

This is our current setup:
Version OCSReports: 2.7 (Running on Debian GNU/Linux server)
OCS Inventory NG android Agent version 2.7

We are using in a production server since some time without problems. We have windows, linux and macOS agents, and several standard and custom plugins deployed working fine.

Now we're trying to extend the use to android phones also. We've tested the agent, it's working fine, but we would like to obtain some other information (for example the lastpublicip plugin)...I can't find information regarding the plugins deployment for android. Maybe we can just run some scripts in Android and extract the contents or just upload the results...
Could you please tell me if that's possible and how to advance on that?
We're looking for a setup for standard users (no adb, termux, or root access), but if requires something else we could evalute it of course.

Thanks in advance

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.

Deployment and Execution on Linux Clients

Tue, 03 Jun 2025 11:13:59 +0000

Hello,

According to the documentation, package deployment and script execution have only been tested with the OCS Inventory NG Agent for Windows service. It also states that using the login script method may cause issues, such as blocking due to background downloads and lack of administrative privileges.

Given this limitation for Windows clients, I would like to ask:

Is the package deployment and script execution feature fully supported and functional on Linux clients? Are there any known issues or special considerations when using this feature on Linux systems?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Will

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?

Plugin winupdate 3.0

Thu, 22 May 2025 16:05:14 +0000

Hi folks,

I'm currently experiencing an issue with the Winupdate 3.0 plugin for OCS Inventory. While the plugin deployment to Windows agents (version 2.11) is successful, with the .ps1 and .vbs scripts being correctly extracted into the plugins folder, the collected information isn't appearing in the OCS Inventory GUI (version 2.10.0).

My server environment is Ubuntu 24.04, utilizing MariaDB 10.11.11-0ubuntu0.24.04.2. The plugin has been configured on the server side.

I'm seeking your assistance in diagnosing this lack of data reporting. Do you have any insights or troubleshooting suggestions to offer?

Best regards,

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

Configure SNMP

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 11:48:56 +0000

Hello,

currently I am facing a problem with the setup of SNMP for OCS Inventory.

Problem Inventory à SNMP à No devices in Table

Expected Result à Devices with the installed OCS Windows Agent scan the Network with IPDiscover for printer/ switches etc. With SNMP I can request information from these devices.

Results are shown under Inventory à SNMP

OCSReports 2.12.3

Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS

PHP 8.3.6

Maria DB 10.11.8

Windows Agent 2.10.1.0

Webserver Apache

OCS Server is setup to scan snmp like this:

Configuration --> General
- --> SNMP
  - SNMP Enable/Disable the snmp service: ON
- --> Ipdiscover: ON
Manage --> Network Scan
- SNMP communities -->
  - Version: 2c
  - Name: public
Configuration --> SNMP
- --> Create type:
  - Name: test
  - OID Value: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1
  - Value:

- --> Type configuration
  - Type: test
  - Label: testdescription
  - OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1
  - Use for reconciliation: yes
  - Use for IP discover: yes

( I also created a SNMP - community . I dont know what the purpose of them is.)

Now I should see results in the Inventory Table under SNMP but it is empty.

Why is it not working?

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?

Plugins don't send data to Server

Mon, 31 Mar 2025 08:58:56 +0000

Hello, i installed OCS inventory on Docker

Do you know what can be the problem please?

Thank you in advance!

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 :
