    Hi,
    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.

    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 Enterprise module not available.
  • Backgrounding Pandora FMS Server process.
  • Pandora Server is now running with PID 23853

    I 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 try

    cpan 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.
