Error 1364: Field 'count_mysql_snapshots' doesn't have a default value

With orchestrator 1.5.0 and orchestrator-agent 1.1.25 both from rpm on centos 6

So after setting up the default rpm's on centos and configuring orchestrator, everything was peachy but my agents weren't reporting in. I modified orchestrator-agent.conf.json to point to right server but it still wasn't working.

Checking /var/lib/orchestrator.log I saw errors like:

[martini] Started GET /api/submit-agent/myserver/3002/6bc145b06fdcbc8a7f00e6bf211c22a0827e3f33d7dd049b4de6abd1b710fd0c for 7.28.245.156:56818

my orchestrator-agent.conf.json is near default provided by the rpm. Of note is that I'm not using the LVM functionality.

}

So on a whim I did an ALTER TABLE in MySQL orchestrator.host_agent.count_mysql_snapshots to set a DEFAULT value of 0.

A few refreshes later and the error no longer occurs and my agent info is now populated in the orchestrator GUI.

You'll still get some errors in the logs, as this obviously isn't the right fix. But it should get you running in the short term.

What is the proper fix?
