Problem with a windows agent

Posted by Joey on June 4, 2008 at 00:14

Hello,

First off, Thanxs for the great software!

Now for my problem.
i have the windows agent running it auth`s true ssh. it works it copy`s the xml file to /var/spool/pandora/data_in/ bud then it changes it to .data_BADXML.

so i checked the pandora`s log file i found this.

2008/06/02 22:06:11 Server_Data [ERROR] /var/spool/pandora/data_in/joey_client.8615.data:1: parser error : Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding !
Bytes: 0xAE 0x20 0x57 0x69
“1.3(Build 070827)” timestamp=”2008-06-03 20:05:23″ interval=”300″ os=”Microsoft
^
at /usr/lib/perl5/XML/LibXML/SAX/Parser.pm line 38

Do i have a setting wrong?

Kind Regards,
Joey

First, which are the versions of Pandora agent and Servers? Which is your linux distro? Which is the encoding in both Windows and Linux boxes?

Maybe you are missing a lib … Look with a “dpkg –get-selections” ( if your distro is debian )

It is not an SNMP agent, it runs the command you set into the modules. If you want to send SNMP traps, you have to setup an SNMP agent to do that.

The version of Pandora FMS is 1.3.1 an for the Windows agent its 1.3.1.
The linux Distro is Debian.
Windows Version is Vista.
How can i find the encoding on both linux and windows?

Maybe you are missing a lib … Look with a “dpkg –get-selections” ( if your distro is debian )

result is a long list searched on utf and found this line:
libunicode-maputf8-perl install
