It create HUB because it find many mac on a switch port and it not have imformation that there is a switch connected on this port (LLDP)
Re: Duplicated items after SNMP query run
Re: Duplicated items after SNMP query run
well, actually when I tried to edit SNMP model for this switch there is LLDP information (remote-device) on port 108 ... but in the old smnp model related OID were not selected, so may be that is the problem?
I can attach screenshots for this device. I have noticed that creation of those fake hubs happens on trunk ports of switches, those uplink to the corporate network (or on ports connected to L2 Metro lines).

Seems a bug, can you send me the XML (you have link in this page) by mail (d.durieux@siprossii.com)

Wake On Lan How To
Could someone give me a little help on how to setup Wake On Lan?
Here is my setup:
Fusioninventory [Deploy, Inventory, SNMP all enabled] (0.83+2.1)
on GLPI (0.83.7) and
Agents (2.3.5) on Windows machines.
I have finally figured out how to deploy with FI but I need to be able to wake computers when everyone is out of the office so that deployments can happen overnight.
I have Wake On Lan enabled under Home > Plugins >Fusioninventory > General Configuration.
I have both Network Discovery and Wake On Lan enabled under Home > Plugins >Fusioninventory > Agents Management
Here is what I can do:
1. I have computers set to WOL in bios and Windows.
2. Using a setting on my server I can wake a client computer manually.
3. I can successfully deploy software to that client computer.
I have tried to set up WOL but keep getting "Unable to find agent to run this job"
First question:
What do I select under "Definition" and under "Action" in my WOL scheduled task?
Does FI use one agent to wake another or how does WOL work for FI?
Don't let this screen capture lead you astray. I do have the Task set to "Active: Yes"
Re: snmp scan
hi i have same problem here.
and no agent using latest GLPI + Fusion agent
No SNMPQuery Asked by the server. Exiting...
No NETDISCOVERY Asked by the server. Exiting...
i test in SQL that agent status is active
mysql> select * from glpi_plugin_fusioninventory_agentmodules
-> ;

Impossible to communicate with agent!
In my network I have several Windows machines running FI-agent 2.3.5 and a Fedora based server running FI-agent 2.1.9. I can force an inventory on any machine by the localhost:62354 web interface and that works but when I go to the GLPI interfacer (Home > Inventory > Computers) and select a specific computer and its FusInv Tasks tab I see "Impossible to communicate with agent!" on all the Windows machines except 1. That Windows machine and the Fedora machine say "Available" and the "Force Inventory" button is ready to go. I have triple-checked url in the agent and all of the machines have the identical url for communicating with the server. I even reinstalled FI-agent on a few of the non-communicating Windows machines, making sure to check the option to add a Firewall exemption.
Help.
Re: Impossible to communicate with agent!
Perhaps you have another firewall, like the firewall of the antivirus, I have seen this many and many times
Re: Impossible to communicate with agent!
I will check that but they almost all have MS Security Essentials. I don't believe that it has a firewall. When I installed the agents I made sure to check the box for adding a firewall exception. Can you think of a tool that I could use to check if something is blocking?
Also, the one Windows computer that says "available" changed to "Impossible to communicate with agent" when I put that computer in sleep mode. How do I wake it if the agent has no communication?
Could you explain how this is possible if the agents can initiate communication to glpi but glpi cannot start communicate with the agents? Could there be some problem with how Windows firewall is opening a port of Fusioninventory-agent during install?
Re: Impossible to communicate with agent!
I suspect that the FI-agent installation is not properly creating a firewall exemption on Windows 7 install. How do I verify in Windows Firewall that the exemption is correctly in place?
Re: Impossible to communicate with agent!
Got it! I found this command to run on a script page
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="FusionInventory Agent" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=62354
I believe that you have to run it in cmd.exe with administrative privileges.
Re: Wake On Lan How To
I guess that there is not anyone using Wake On Lan successfully with FusionInventory. I worked out a connection problem between GLPI and the FusionInventory Agents. Either Wake on Lan is just too inconsistent I do not clearly understand how this feature works. Does FusionInventory use clients that are awake to wake up those that are in sleep mode or how does it work? If I could get some help with configuration then I might try it again. Otherwise I will have to run Ether-wake on my server in a Cron job.
Re: Wake On Lan How To
i got wol working, but only on linux clients as actor (action)...
i tried atleast a hour or two to get it to work from windows clients but with no luck. Then i installed the agent on the linux server which runs glpi/fusioninventory server at the moment and it worked.
But it did take way more time through glpi as it took with a linux cmd line tool like "wakeonlan".
It takes arround 30-60 seconds to turn on a pc through glpi, it works instantly from commandline.
Also glpi/fusioninventory cant tell if the task worked fine and only reports "unkown" for its outcome.
Defition: Computers that should be turned on through wol
Action: The FusionInventory Client System that should send the WOL Packages to the clients
Look at the Config of the Agent that should send the wol package, and activate Wake On Lan under the Agents modules Tab!
Then the clients with activated Wake On Lan module should be able to be selected as Client as Actors (Action) for this task.
Here is my Task for example:
It turns on the pc "pool-218-dell12" (running Windows 7) and "PC-Pool_S2...." (running Linux Mint) is the agent that sends the wol package.
To start this task i use "Force Start".
PS: but as i said i couldnt get it working from Windows Clients, only Linux.
Deploy to Fedora 14 client
My server is Fedora 14 based. I have a FusionInventory-Agent v2.1.9 with NETDISCOVERY : 1.5 installed. I can inventory no problem and GLPI says that the agent is "available." I cannot get a package to deploy to it. When I look in the log file I find the following line:
[Thu Mar 6 01:57:26 2014][debug] Module FusionInventory::Agent::Task::Deploy is not installed.
What does this mean? I have looked into upgrading the agent for this computer but there does not seem to be an easy way. Please help.
Re: Impossible to communicate with agent!
Hello rdagijones,
I suspect that the FI-agent installation is not properly creating a firewall exemption on Windows 7 install.
Actually, the FIA installer doesn't touch the Windows Firewall configuration yet. (See #2171).
There is a problem (#2190) with name resolution with Windows XP systems. You can try to indicate as Trusted IPs value (see HTTP Server Options Screen) this one:
127.0.0.1/32,w.x.y.z/32
where w.x.y.z is the IP address of your Fedora server. If you are running FIA as a Windows Service, restart it and repeat your tests.
Other thing. If you need wake up directly a computer (without using a FIA) perhaps what you need is this other GLPI plugin: ShellCommands.
Good luck,
Entity Rules not working??
Hi, there,
I have an installation of GLPI 0.84.5 + Fusion inventory 0.84+2.1 in a windows server. I have a fusion inventory agent in each of my 700 branches. All tests regarding discover and inventory tasks are working fine.
I am setting up everything using SuperAdmin profile user (rules, ip address ranges, entities…), and latter on, I will work with maintenance operators and different profiles for each entity.
I will create 700 entities and sub-entities to manage everything properly, but before I launch massive scanning, I am testing automatic assignments to entities.
Root Entity
I I
SubEntity A Subentity B
If I create ip address ranges for Subentity A and set “Entity” parameter to Subentity A, without use of Fusion Inventory-Entity Rules, every discover device is automatically assigned to Subentity A. Right.
But I have problems with fusion inventory-Entity Rules. If I, from Root Entity level, create ip address ranges (Entity parameter set to Root Entity), and then, I create Fusion – Entity Rules from Root Entity level for assigning discovered devices which match special IP range to subentity A, every discovered device is assigned to Root Entity. Is this right?
As far as I understand, fusion Entity Rules are implicitly (or automatically) applied to every discovered device by Fusion discover/inventory task, and once, rule’s criteria Is matched, action should apply assigning device to Subentity A, even if ip address range which define Subentity range for scan, has Entity parameter set to Root Entity.
Is this normal behavior? Is this a bug? What is the need of Entity rules if assignment to an entity can be made just setting up the entity parameter to subentity in ip address range definitions?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Jorge

First rule work is get and finish rules (so it not test other rules)

Yes each Computer inventory use entity rules at each inventory, but network (discovery and inventory) not use these rules and use the entity of ip range for the discovery and not change the entity for network inventory
UID in software inventory windows updates
Hello,
I just started to use Fusioninventory with glpi, i use the latest versions and the invenrory seems to work, but i do got some strange results with some installed updates.
Above is a little example. Some of them are ok, but i do have some long list with some sort of UID in front of it.
Is this a known bug?
Regards,
Rene.
Re: UID in software inventory windows updates
It's windows update without name
Re: UID in software inventory windows updates
Thats wierd because the KB name is to the right. and i also got other KB's in the inventory without this UID and only with the kb name which i think is the right way.
