Thinstation ocsinventory - TAG support

[piozylka]

It seems that thinstation agent doesn't support TAG option which is available at original ocsinventory-agent. Is there any option to send TAG ??

Hi, at the moment, sending the tag is not supported. Since we dont use it, I did not implement it. I can look into it, if there's need for It.

[piozylka]

It would be great ! Thank you

[jackburton79]

Just to clarify: you mean the ability to send the TAG (which you can set from the BIOS) from the client to the ocsinventory server ? or to receive the TAG which you set from the ocsinventory server to the client?

[piozylka]

I mean the TAG which u can set in ocsinventory, option -t in original ocsinventory-agent

[jackburton79]

I implemented tag sending functionality in c95c798c68fcbd293aa828ca8624bec4e1124cf1. I briefly tested and it seems to work, but having never used such functionality in ocsinventory, I can't say if it does what you expect. Could you give it a try ?

[piozylka]

how can i implement this version in thinstation ? thinstation update package is enough for this ?

[jackburton79]

Currently the Thinstation package points to an old version, so you'd have to do this manually. Which version of Thinstation are you using ? Maybe I could upload an already compiled package.

[piozylka]

i think im using 5.4 where can i check version ?

[jackburton79]

I think version 5.4 already points to the master of ocsinventory. The Pkgfile of ocsinventory (in ts/ports/packages/ocsinventory) should be like this:

# Description: Thinstation essential package
# URL: http://www.thinstation.org
# Maintainer: Donald A. Cupp Jr. (don cupp jr at ya hoo dot com)

name=ocsinventory
version=git
release=1
source=()

build() {
git clone https://github.com/jackburton79/agent.git
        cd agent
        make
        mkdir -p $PKG/bin
        cp  ocsinventory-agent $PKG/bin/.
}

so I think you just need to:

• Enter the chroot environment
• 'cd' into the following directory, starting from the thinstation root: ts/ports/components/ocsinventory
• launch 'pkgmk -u' (it should print some information on screen, while it downloads and builds the new version)
• Rebuild the thinstation image

[piozylka]

Done, package nicely updated, image build done. ocs report is sended but without tag information, tired both manually and via config file. no changes, when i call ocsinventory-agent --help it doesnt show information about -t option, only: -h help -c conf -s server Is this correct ?

[jackburton79]

Nope, I think it hasn't updated. To be sure, launching the application with the -h switch should show version 1.5.

[jackburton79]

Could you also remove any .zip or .Tar.gz or tar.xz file present in the above directory ?

[jackburton79]

And then launch pkgmk -u again

[piozylka]

I was fighting with this all day, here's what I did and my conclusions:

• did a fresh install of Thinstation 5.5.
• updated a package ocsinventory, update confirmed
• checked in Thinstation ocsinventory-agent -h , shows up 1.5 version and oprion -t for tags
• added packege ocsinventory in bulid.conf and builded simple image
• booted from pendrive with builded image, ocsinventory-agent still the same old version. So maybe I'm doing smthing wrong and package doesn't integrate to image ? Tried to remove all files tar.gz , tar.xz from /ts/ports/components/ocsinventory and did upgrade but after this image doesnt integrate package ocsinventory at all.

[jackburton79]

I think it happened to me, too. In that case, I think I manually copied the generated binary (which is compressed into a xz executable) to the package directory in the Thinstation tree (if I remember correctly, that would be ts/build/packages/ocsinventory-ng/bin)

[trentasis]

Try with

pkgmk -u -d -um pkgmk -u pkgmk -uf pkgmk -u update package

@jackburton79 Indeed I had to manually extract and copy to ts/build/packages/ocsinventory-ng/bin Now it's working but due to bug I cannot test it. @trentasis thx for help, I will try this next time.

[jackburton79]

In fact didnt work for me either, for an already inventoried machine. Works if I delete the machine and retry to send the inveentory.

I'm closing this, since adding the tag while inventorying a new machine works.

[piozylka]

Confirmed, adding new machine works. Thank u , very much.
