Troubleshooting Pandora
Posted by linrsvp on September 27, 2010 at 17:27Hi,
I am a novice and have installed pandora for the first time in my CentOS 5.3 machine. I dont know if its my installation or something else, but even a host-alive check on a remote host dsnt seem to be working. I dont even know how and where to start troubleshooting..
Any head starts would be greatly appreciated.daniels replied 14 years, 4 months ago 2 Members · 4 Replies -

A pointer … (I dunno if this matters)..when I start my pandora server, I get the following message :
#]/etc/init.d/pandora_server start Pandora FMS Server 3.1 Build 100608 Copyright (c) 2004-2010 ArticaST This program is OpenSource, licensed under the terms of GPL License version 2. You can download latest versions and documentation at http://www.pandorafms.org
- Error loading Pandora FMS Enterprise: IO::Socket::Multicast not found.
- Pandora FMS Enterprise module not available.
- Backgrounding Pandora FMS Server process.
Pandora Server is now running with PID 23853I have installed the open source version in my machine (and not the enterprise version). What do those 1st and 2nd statements mean?

Hi linrsvp
 You can try:
yum install perl-IO-Socket*
Take care here:
If still not working, you may trycpan IO::Socket::Multicast
but be warned, cpan could mess the dependencies if you use it with yum. I did, and worked for me. Good lucky.
ps: I have a post with my fight to get the things work in CentOS. Check out:

Hi,
Thanks for the pointer 🙂I installed IO-Socket and IO-Socket-MultiCast, But I still get the same error statements when I try to start pandora server i.e module IO::Socket::Multicast not found.
One more doubt, the pandora agents shld be added to each machine that requires monitoring ? is it equivalent to nrpe and nsclient ? Is there any tutorial/guide that explains in detail how to add varied services to each host ?

Hi linrsvp,
 I have some trouble to get pandora working in Centos. Do you still have the perl-IO-Socket problem?
 About the other doubt, you can monitoring without an agent with functions that can start at the server (like tcp open port monitoring, http monitoring, plugins, etc), but I have one agent in each server (total of 70 agents deployed).
 Regards.
