How to report data from local module

I have read the documentation and I am wondering how to get data to report to the web console through custom local modules.

# Networking
module_begin
module_name nettraf_eth0_in
module_type generic_data_inc
module_exec /sbin/ifconfig eth0 |grep “bytes:” |awk {‘print $2’} |tr -d “bytes:”
module_description bps IN (post process)
module_end

Would I create a data module in the web page?

That module must be in the pandora_agent.conf of the server, and will send the XML to dataserver, module will be created automatically, no need to create the module in the console.

Another comment: Due it’s a generic_data_inc need at least two modules to “generate” information because it uses a delta (prev data – current data / seconds between them). Just wait a few minutes to see it.

I have the same problem.
I tried to add it in pandora_agent.conf on server, but I still don’t see it on web interface.
I tried to reboot server and client..

Thanks

Execute (as root) the module_exec contents on console:

/sbin/ifconfig eth0 |grep “bytes:” |awk {‘print $2’} |tr -d “bytes:”

If returns a valid value, it’s ok, if not, replace by a valid command before use in a module. Pandora expects a number, anything else will produce a invalid data (not visible).

Hi

When I executed /sbin/ifconfig eth0 |grep “bytes:” |awk {‘print $2’} |tr -d “bytes:”
I got a number.
But I have the same problem with other custom module. For example:

module_begin
module_name Notepad
module_description Monitor notepad process
module_proc notepad.exe
module_type generic_proc
module_async yes
module_name

I configured this module on client side pandora_agent.conf and also on server pandora_agent.conf. But I dont see it on web console.
How can I get any custom module (configured on client) in web console?

Thanks in advance

Ivan

It seems that you have a problem running the pandora client in the pandora server machine, right?

Are you using tentacle for communication between client <-> server?
