ddurieux · 2010-02-18 09:35:22

Tracker has been renamed in FusionInventory for GLPI, the agent has been integrated in FusionInventory agent (it's a fork of OCS Agent but with lots of new functionnalities)

The glpi plugin has been all rewrite. I will add changelog more later today.

There is major changes in the release:

FusionInventory Agent is now directly connected with GLPI via GLPI

For agent, you can install it like OCS Agent. If you don't yant to install it, start agent with this command :

fusioninventory-agent --server=http://127.0.0.1/glpi/plugins/fusioninventory/front/plugin_fusioninventory.communication.php --devlib

Hi dd,

i don´t understand what has changed to tracker?
Do i have to download the new fusioninventory and install it as a plugin in GLPI?
Thats all?

Don´t i need the agent tracker anymore?

I´m litte bit confused.

Yes install it in glpi (it's a plugin). But remove tracker folder before install fusioninventory .
agent Tracker is now in fusioninventory agent. So you must have this agent

bmw328ii · 2010-02-18 10:15:33

Okay, thanks for that now.

Can you say me how to install the perl module nmap?
I tried ppm install nmap but i get a info that there is no package nmap

Do i have to download it directly from perl.com?

ddurieux · 2010-02-18 10:17:06

The name is : nmap::parser or nmap::scanner
What is your Operating System?

bmw328ii · 2010-02-18 10:24:02

Windows 2003

ddurieux · 2010-02-18 10:30:42

If you have active perl , search for nmap::parser and you must install nmap

If you use other, you can download sources : http://search.cpan.org/~apersaud/Nmap-P … /Parser.pm

bmw328ii · 2010-02-18 10:35:57

Okay, i have Active Perl 5.10 and downloaded and installed the packages namp:parser and nmap:scanner with perl package manager. Is this enough?

To install the agent you wrote in readme:

BUILDING/INSTALLING

Once the archive is unpacked, use these commands:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

If you want to turn of the interactive post install script, just do
PERL_AUTOINSTALL=1 perl Makefile.PL
instead of the
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.

The agent needs some directories to store internal settings.

mkdir -p /etc/FusionInventory-agent
mkdir -p /var/lib/FusionInventory-agent
mkdir -p /var/log/FusionInventory-agent
mkdir -p /var/run

you can choose other directories by changing the default settings
directly in the FusionInventory-agent file.

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

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

sudo ./FusionInventory-agent --devlib --server http://foo/FusionInventory

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I ran the command succesfully:

perl Makefile.PL

What I have to do next???

ddurieux · 2010-02-18 10:39:12

make
make install

and install nmap and I think it's good after

bmw328ii · 2010-02-18 10:41:15

I get following when i ran the command make:

the command is unknow

make install the same

ddurieux · 2010-02-18 10:42:24

Oh excuse me,

you say :
have Active Perl 5.10 and downloaded and installed the packages namp:parser and nmap:scanner with perl package manager

so it's ok

Install juste nmap win32

bmw328ii · 2010-02-18 10:46:38

Okay.

I downloaded nmap for windows.
Do i have to install it or just unpack and run winpcap-nmap-411.exe?

ddurieux · 2010-02-18 10:48:38

install it

bmw328ii · 2010-02-18 10:51:54

Okay, i installed it.

How to run now the agent?
There is no script.

ddurieux · 2010-02-18 10:53:34

in folder of agent :
perl fusioninventory-agent --server=http://127.0.0.1/glpi/plugins/fusioninventory/front/plugin_fusioninventory.communication.php --devlib

bmw328ii · 2010-02-18 11:00:19

I get following error:

Failed to load FusionInventory::Agent, Can't locate IPC/Run.pm in @INC (@INC con
tains: lib C:/Perl/site/lib C:/Perl/lib .) at lib/FusionInventory/Agent.pm line

ddurieux · 2010-02-18 11:45:53

You must install perl module : IPC::Run

bmw328ii · 2010-02-18 12:21:30

I installed it.
Same problem:

C:\FusionInventory-Agent-2.0beta2>perl fusioninventory-agent --server=http://127
.0.0.1/glpi/plugins/fusioninventory/front/plugin_fusioninventory.communication.p
hp --devlib

Compilation failed in require at (eval 6) line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 6) line 1.

you can run the agent directly for its source directory with --devlib

C:\FusionInventory-Agent-2.0beta2>

Another idea?

I found out that my "run.pm" is in C:\Perl\lib\Activestate
Maybe Path is wrong?

I've got one question:
SNMP and NetDiscovery support. This is a major changes. FusionInventory Agent is now directly connected with GLPI via GLPI Tracker plugin ( https://forge.indepnet.net/projects/show/tracker/ ) !

This indicates that you'll still need the tracker plugin.
If I install GLPI + FusionInventory GLPI plugin locally and FusionInventory Agent remote . (without tracker) will this be enough to make everything work?

ddurieux · 2010-02-18 13:57:58

yes it's an error, tracker is now FusionInventory (renamed) so you read :

SNMP and NetDiscovery support. This is a major changes. FusionInventory Agent is now directly connected with GLPI via GLPI FusionInventory plugin

bmw328ii · 2010-02-18 14:22:14

I copied run.pm into C:\Perl\lib\IPC and now i have another error message:

What´s wrong here?

ddurieux · 2010-02-18 14:25:17

A bug in agent, we will see to correct it quickly

MHI · 2010-02-18 15:50:19

DD, when trying to build the Agent it says in the README that Perl 5.8.X is the prerequesite, but when I am trying to do the Makefile it's telling me that version of perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker needs to be at least 6.42, but the latest version on RHEL5 / CentOS releases are perl 5.8.8 where the MakeMaker is compiled into with version 6.30. Is there any package available that can be installed on top of this or do you need perl 5.9 or 5.10.

A possible bug I found on the GLPI plugin side. When I am configuring fusioninventory modules and set "snmp" to yes for example and post it, it will still come up as "no", so it's not changing, same with the other dropdowns in the modules section.

ddurieux · 2010-02-18 15:54:40

you can try to install this module yourself

download here : http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/ … .56.tar.gz

after do this :
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

MHI · 2010-02-18 16:03:20

Thanks I was just not think about this easy solution

And thanks for the very quick reply. Hope you saw my added comment for a possible bug.
