Recon server
Hi, i have one question, whats the recon server?
The service is starting ok, but after about 2 minutes, it stops working and is showed as red in the manage servers screen.
I don´t know if its vital for the operation of pandora, but i have found that my agent is not reporting some data, like cpu usage and freememory, in the pandora log i can see that the agent is sending cpu and memory information and it says that the system is processing it, but in the agents screen it only shows process information.
The modules counter says 10 / 5 / 1, 10 modules (including freememory, cpu usage, receivedpackets), 5 shows information(all regarding processes) and one is failing (on purpose).
Well i hope its not very hard to understand, because i’m not really good writing in English.
Thanks a lot i hope we can solve this issue, not for me but maybe is a bug or maybe is that i’m doing something wrong.
one last thing the agent version says 1.2 beta but i’m sure i installed 1.3
Thanks again

Hi,
The recon server is as vital as you want it to be 🙂
Actually what the recon server does is just explore the network (you define previusly) for new devices. Nothing more, nothing less.
You can also define what to do when the recon finds a new device, like, setting up a host alive module, etc etc…Anyways, it’s strange what it’s happening to you, do you have the lastest version of it? We had some problems such like that with a previus version, but they were solved with the one in the SVN, try it.
Another good idea could be launching the server manually, it means without the daemon.
./pandora_recon.pl /path/to/you/pandora/serverYou’ll be able to see if there’s any error…
Hope this helps
All the best.
