README.md

Ocsinventory-Agent is an agent for ocsinventory NG. It supports Linux, Solaris and AIX. *BSD support is in progress.

The following modules are needed:

- Digest::MD5 - XML::Simple - Net::IP optional, it is only needed to compute the network information - LWP - Mac::SysProfile 0.0.5 : this module is need on MacOSX to collect the device informations. - To get SSL communications working (for packages deployment or HTTPS communications to OCS server), you need these modules: - Crypt::SSLeay if you use LWP prior to version 6 - LWP::Protocol::https if you use LWP version 6 or more - Net::CUPS is used to detect the printer - Net::SNMP to scan network devices using SNMP - To enhance SNMP feature with custom networks scans, you need these modules: - Net::Netmask - Net::Ping or Nmap::Parser - Data::UUID is used to create a unique id for every machine - Parse::EDID is used to inventory monitor and will replace monitor-edid from Mandriva. 

The following commands are needed:

- dmidecode on Linux and *BSD (i386, amd64, ia64) => dmidecode is required to read the BIOS stats. - lspci on Linux and *BSD (pciutils package) => lspci is required to list PCI devices. - sneep on Solaris/sparc, you must install sneep and record the Serial Number with it (download it from http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=4304155a) - To get the serial number of the screen you will need one of these tools: - monitor-edid from Mandriva is needed to fetch the monitor. A package is available in Fedora repository. information http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Tools/monitor-edid - get-edid from the read-edid package - ipmitool if you want to collect information about IPMI - Nmap (v3.90 or superior) to scan network devices for Ipdiscover 

The following PERL modules are optional:

- Proc::Daemon Daemon mode - Proc::PID::File brings the pid file support if Proc::Daemon is installed - Compress::Zlib 

The following module is needed if you plan to prepare a tarball or install directly from the Bazaar devel branch. (See SOURCES below.):

Once the archive is unpacked, use these commands:

perl Makefile.PL make make install 

If you want to turn off the interactive post install script, just do (instead of perl Makefile.PL)

PERL_AUTOINSTALL=1 perl Makefile.PL 

You can also run the agent from the tarball directory. In this case, use the —devlib flag to load the library from the local directory.

You need to launch the agent with root privilege. For debugging you can try to launch it with the -l flag:

Ex: ocsinventory-agent -l /tmp —debug

It’s also possible to run directly from the tarball directory:

sudo ./ocsinventory-agent —devlib —server http://foo/ocsinventory

• Sun Studio seems to be needed to build the dependency.
• The generated Makefile needs gmake to be exectuted
• The default installation will install the binary in /usr/perl5/5.XXXXX/bin, set your $PATH variable according to that.

• If you use crontab to launch the agent you’ll probably have to redefine the PATH. For example, just add something like: PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin At the beginning of the cron file.

1. Fork it!
2. Create your feature branch: git checkout -b my-new-feature
3. Add your changes: git add folder/file1.php
4. Commit your changes: git commit -m ‘Add some feature’
5. Push to the branch: git push origin my-new-feature
6. Submit a pull request !

Install OCS Inventory Agent on Debian 10/Ubuntu 18.04

Once you have setup your OCS Inventory server, you can now add agents for managing. In this guide, we are going to learn how to Install OCS-NG Inventory Agent on Debian 10/Ubuntu 18.04.

Learn how to setup OCS Inventory server on Fedora 30/Fedora 29 by following the link below;

Install OCS Inventory Agent on Debian 10/Ubuntu 18.04

Run system update

Install Required Libraries

To install OCS Inventory agent will all the required packages, run the command below;

apt install libmodule-install-perl dmidecode libxml-simple-perl libcompress-zlib-perl libnet-ip-perl libwww-perl libdigest-md5-perl libdata-uuid-perl

Install OCS Inventory Agent from APT

Run the command below to install OCS agent.

apt install ocsinventory-agent

During the installation, you are prompted to choose how the OCS agent will communicate with OCS server. Since we already setup the OCS server, select the http method and proceed.

Next, set the OCS server URL. The syntax is http[s]://ocsinventory-ng-server[:port]/ocsinventory usually for http(s) methods.

This will be written to /etc/ocsinventory/ocsinventory-agent.cfg configuration file.

Install OCS Agent from Source

Note that OCS agent installed from default system packages might be older. Also, installing OCS agent from source requires that some build tools and dependencies be installed first.

apt install make gcc libmodule-install-perl dmidecode libxml-simple-perl libcompress-zlib-perl openssl libnet-ip-perl libwww-perl libdigest-md5-perl libdata-uuid-perl libcrypt-ssleay-perl libnet-snmp-perl libproc-pid-file-perl libproc-daemon-perl net-tools libsys-syslog-perl pciutils smartmontools read-edid nmap libnet-netmask-perl

To install a newer version of OCS Agent, navigate to the OCS Inventory downloads page and grab the source file for the new version. For example, this guide uses OCS Agent v2.4.2 and can be downloaded as follows;

wget https://github.com/OCSInventory-NG/UnixAgent/releases/download/v2.4.2/Ocsinventory-Unix-Agent-2.4.2.tar.gz

Once the download is done, extract the source code.

tar xzf Ocsinventory-Unix-Agent-2.4.2.tar.gz

Navigate to OCS Inventory agent source directory

cd Ocsinventory-Unix-Agent-2.4.2

OCS Agent can be installed interactively or non-interactively.

To install OCS agent non-interactively, simply run the commands below;

sudo env PERL_AUTOINSTALL=1 perl Makefile.PL

To install OCS agent interactively, simply run the commands below;

While setting up the address of your ocs server, if you are using hostname, ensure that it is resolvable.

. Do you want to configure the agent Please enter 'y' or 'n'?> [y] y Where do you want to write the configuration file? 0 -> /etc/ocsinventory 1 -> /usr/local/etc/ocsinventory 2 -> /etc/ocsinventory-agent ?> 2 Do you want to create the directory /etc/ocsinventory-agent?

Please enter 'y' or 'n'?> [y] Do you want to use OCS-Inventory SNMP scans feature? Please enter 'y' or 'n'?> [y] Do you want to send an inventory of this machine? Please enter 'y' or 'n'?> [y] . 

OCS Agent-Server Communication

By default, OCS agent is set to communicate with the server once a day via the daily cron job, /etc/cron.daily/ocsinventory-agent.

To force the agent to communicate to the server immediately, you can run;

ocsinventory-agent --server http://OCS-ADDRESS[:port]/ocsinventory

ocsinventory-agent --server http://ocsinv.example.com/ocsinventory

You can now login to your OCS Inventory server and verify that the assets have been inventoried.

Click on All Computers tab to see a list your assets.

You can also configure OCS Agent to inventory the system hourly via the cron job.

mv /etc/cron.daily/ocsinventory-agent /etc/cron.hourly

Well, that is just it on how to install OCS Agent on Debian 10/Ubuntu 18.04. Feel free to explore this tool further.
