Unable to update Windows Agent remotely
Posted by tealnet on January 3, 2009 at 22:34I have a Windows Agent installed but I cannot get it to update remotely. I must not be doing something right. I have remote_config set to 1 in the Agent conf and the Agent is in Normal Mode on the server but any checks I add from the server don’t work. For example, I added a simple ping check on a router that exists on the network with the Agent. But the ping results show the system is down even though I know it isn’t. Is there something else I have to do to get the Agent to perform these actions properly?

You are misunderstanding things here.
remote_config is an Enterprise feature, and it allows you to edit pandora_agent.conf remotely.The network modules are completely a different thing. The reason why the ping is not running might be a misconfiguration you’re having checks these things:
1- The agent has an IP? Did you put an IP to the module when you added it?
2- The network server is running? (check it at Pandora Servers) in the menu -

The agent has an IP address, an internal IP (192.168.1.10), which I have specified at the server. Does the agent need a public, or at least a publicly accessible, IP address since it is remote on a different network? The network server (as well as all the servers) on the pandora box are all running.
My situation is that I’d like the ability to monitor many different networks from a central location. I have Pandora installed on a public dedicated server. I’d like to install an Agent within all the remote networks I monitor and have all the data sent back to the main server. Ideally, I’d like to do this without having to open up ports on each network, but I can if I have to.
Thanks for your help!
