Pandora Server Problem
Hi
I have a Debian Etch box running the servers and I want to monitor that box and a Windows box. The SSH test on the Windows Agent works (thanks Raúl), but I don’t receive any data from the agents. In order to dismiss any permission-related problem I made a
[code:1]chmod 666 /opt/pandora_server
chmod 666 /opt/pandora_console
and run all servers as root, but I still receive no data from the agents.I use Pandora 1.2b3 with the patched windows agent binary released about ten days ago.
Here are some screenshots:
List of defined agents:
Linux Agent: Configuration
Linux Agent: Detais
Windows Agent: Configuration
Windows Agent: Details
I’m using Apache 1.3 Web Server, MySQL 5 and PHP5.
Here is the list of debian perl packages installed related to the perl dependencies listed in the installation documentation (just in case I might have (a) missing one(s))
- XML::Simple libxml-simple-perl
Digest::MD5 perl
Time::Local perl-modules
DBI libapache-dbi-perl, libdbd-mysql-perl, libdbi-perl
Date::Manip libdate-manip-perl
IO::Socket perl-base
Time::HiRes perl
Time::Local perl-base
SNMP libnet-snmp-perl, libsnmp-perl
Net::Ping perl-baseHere is the relevant part of pandora_server script
[code:1]# Configurable path and filenames
PANDORA_HOME=”/opt/pandora_server”
#modified for permission problems
PANDORA_SERVER_PID=”$PANDORA_HOME/var/pandora_server.pid”Here is the relevant part of pandora_network script

Hi
I have a Debian Etch box running the servers and I want to monitor that box and a Windows box. The SSH test on the Windows Agent works (thanks Raúl), but I don’t receive any data from the agents.Before looking at other places, check if the servers are writting any error.
Check if Pandora’s agent can put the data files generated into the /opt/pandora_server/data_in directory, this depends of your pandora_agent.conf file (check if this directory exists and pandora user can write here).Check also if in the directory of pandora agent for windows there is any pandora-log.log file.
Also check if there are .data files in this directory, if so, the server doesn’t process them, then check if server is down :-D.
Verify those things first, and if it doesn’t work, post again 😀
Raúl.

It finally works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I made a simple (but silly) mistake: I have realized it is imperative to run the installer from a folder with **all** the files, not just the .exe.Please, could the final version of the installer pack all the necesary files in a single .exe?
