Windows agent installation
Hello all,
First, thanks for creating such a great (looking) system!
I do have one very simple question I can’t seem to answer. I’ve looked through the docs, searched the forum but can’t really find an answer.
I have downloaded the VMWare image of version 3.0 RC1. Installation goes fine, I can login via the web-browser.
Then I want to define a Windows Agent, so I define it in Pandora and I install the agent on my workstation.
I have entered the same agent name in Pandora as in the agent itself, the docs say this is important. I want to use tentacle as the protocol.
The datafiles are being generated in the TEMP folder by the agent, but it seems they aren’t being sent to the server.
The server appear to be listening on the tentacle port 41121. I confirmed this by using TELNET to connect to that port. Although you don’t get a sensible reply with TELNET, you can tell if a port is open at the server or not.I also logged onto the server as root and checked the folder /var/spool/pandora/data_in, where the data files should be copied to. This folder is empty, it only has 2 subfolders (conf and md5).
I also tried to use the tentacle_client manually but can’t seem to find out the correct syntax.
I am fairly advanced sysadmin, but I feel like a noob now 🙂
Who helps me out?

Thanks for your reply.
The system just started working suddenly.
I haven’t got a clue as to why.
Day 1 it wasn’t working at all, day 2 it was just working.
I have also added more agents to it, no problem!There does however seem to be a bug in module_diskfree, it reports wrong numbers.
I will make a seperate topic about this. -

Have the same problem too! 3.0rc1 – I can send xml manually, but the agent generates reports but doesn’t try to send them 🙁
Tried tentacle, ssh, ftp – no successUmmm, check two things:
1. permissions (execute permissions for pandora user) for tentacle_server in server, and /etc/init.d/tentacle_serverd
2. pandora user exists
3. debug mode in agent is disabled.
4. tentacle server is running in the server
Test RC2 🙂
