VM Image not “Reading Data”

Posted by rgray-infocomp on March 8, 2009 at 21:10

Hi,
Loaded up the VMImage on our ESX server, had a bit of playing with it to get it working.
Have the Agent on 1 server, 1 workstation for testing.

Can see the agent, and run checks that don’t require Data to be sent (Such as ICMP, SNMP) but modules that use Data don’t work at all.

E.G. on my workstation i have:
# CPU usage percentage
module_begin
module_name CPUUse0
module_type generic_data
module_cpuusage 0
module_description CPU#0 usage
module_end

If i create the same module on the server under Admin-> Manage Modules-> Module Components. then add it too the desktop in Agent Detail, it doesnt “grab” the data from the XML packet sent.

Have confirmed the XML looks fine using the Debug on the workstation, and can confirm data is being read by the pandora2_Data as the data_in dir is empty (if you stick in a bad xml it reads it and spits it back out, so it seems like processing is working)

Seems odd that a VM image of your product needs so much work to get it “right”

Any help would be appreciated

Are you sure the data is being sent? Stop the data_server for 10 minutes or so, you should be able to see the XML of that machine in the /var/spool/pandora/data_in

The VM image runs fine, we have lot of people using it without any problem 🙂
