  • Problem with parent/child

    Posted by mike_moyse on September 26, 2014 at 17:20

    I set up monitoring to watch my local DSL router and my hardware firewall with Pandora running in a cloud server. I set the router to be the parent of the firewall and it displays fine in the topology graph.

    I then set up an internal Windows machine and set the firewall as its parent but it only displays at the Pandora Fms level. If I set it with the router as the parent it correctly displays.

    Is there some limit in the free version for the number of children or am I doing something wrong?

    Seriously? 80+ views and nobody knows the answer or where to look for the answer?

    Well, I thought I’d found the perfect answer to my monitoring but the complete lack of support has killed this project for me.

    I fine this project is very well supported. The issue was a bug in 5.1 and has been fixed in 5.1 SP1.

    In Windows SNMP monitoring does not work properly. Recommend to monitor the official ISO image based on Centos Pandora.

    I only downloaded and installed Pandora a few weeks back so I’d expect to have the latest version. Although it displays in the web console as version 5.0, attempting to install version 5.1 says “package pandorafms_server-5.1-1.noarch is already installed” so I must be on the latest version.

    The update manager just tells me I’ve got last version 0 and offers to update and then says it can’t copy the files. Nothing is logged to say what the problem is but a note on the screen suggests that the update feature is only available in the Enterprise edition (WTF?).

    Documentation on how to upgrade or install SP1 is extremely sparse to non-existant.

    As for SP1, it’s not even listed on the download page so I have no idea where to get it from 🙁

    Update is broken.
    Yum update results in:

    Error: Package: pandorafms_server-5.1SP1RC3-1.noarch (artica_pandorafms)
              Requires: perl-Encode-Locale
    You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
    You could try running: rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest

    Trying to then install perl-Encode-Local results in dependency hell.

    Sometimes I just want kick OpenSource projects in the nuts 😉

    Network maps still don’t display parent child beyond one level.

    The SP1 version has not come out yet.

    Will come next week.

    Well next week has come and gone, any news?

    It’s perfectly clear from my post that I cannot install the new packages because of the old packages. Your advice is pointless and useless.

    Ok,

    try installing the tarball.

    Unzip the file and run it:

    ./pandora_console_install –install
    ./pandora_server_installer –install
