Which is the version of Pandora agent that you have installed?

[admin]

1.2a, sorry i forget to write it in a last message ;)

Well,

which is the user you're using to execute the service? Windows stores the ssh keys in the user's branch of registry, so the be careful with that.

Please read the Pandora Agents Install Guide how to change the user that inits the service, if this is the problem, at
(this docs are stored at the old page of Pandora, because the windows 1.2a is, basically, the same as 1.1)

07-07-06 17:31:32: Pandora Agent: Authentication Failed when connecting to 10.96.30.196

i have try with putty to connect from same server to 10.96.30.196 and it work, but if use a agent ... don't work.... why?
this is may .conf
# General Parameters
# ==================

server_ip 10.96.30.196
server_path /opt/pandora_server/data_in
temporal "c:pxjdata_out"
interval 1
agent_name vmware_DB

# Module Definition


I have another question, where the Pandoraagent.exe take a user? beacuse use a LOCALSYSTEM user on a service.


I prefer a new version of agent... it's more clear and easy to install and to check.
thaks to all

[raul]

Well, the user is only for Pandora Agent 1.2a and before :-D

We are writing all the docs before the release of the 1.2 Final.

Please, check that you have created the /opt/pandora_server/data_in (in the server side, be sure the user which runs pandora have access to this directory) and c:pxjdata_out folder and you can write there.

Also, for checking, try to put on the interval something a bit higher, like 200.

Also, do you have any modules configured?

[Sancho Lerena]

have you put your id_dsa.pub and id_dsa files in ./key directory ?.

(from INSTALL file):

keyid_dsa           :: Private key to access the Pandora server using SSH
keyid_dsa.pub       :: Public key to access the Pandora server using SSH

Also you may try to exec in commandline pandoraservice.exe with --test-ssh argument to test SSH funcionality (this option is not documented at this time, so don't look for more information in docs :-)

Hi!

I'm the developer of the Pandora Windows agent, so I hope I can help you. I suppose that the Pandora server is a UNIX/Linux machine, so the path in these O.S. uses '/' instead of ''. Check the variable 'server_path' in the Pandora Windows agent configuration, and replace the '' with '/'. In your case, it will be something like that:

Code:

server_path \pandorasrvdata_in

And should be replaced by

Code:

server_path /pandorasrv/data_in

I suppose that Pandora server has been installed in the /pandorasrv/ directory. I would suggest you to install in /opt/pandorasrv instead, which is a cleaner place to install it.

Thanks for using Pandora.

Hi... i have found a solution, thanks to everybody to push me to fine a solution!

i need to change in the server_path the path

es if you use cygwin for openssh

server_path /cygdrive/c/"complete path to data in"/
If the drive is C  put C after cygdrive, and use always the / not

Thanks to all

[raul]

You can change the mount prefix in cygwin from "/cygdrive" to "/", running from the cygwin shell window:

mount -s --change-cygdrive-prefix /

i forget to change the user while generated the key

In which OS is the server running? Which user did you use to generate the ssh key for the Windows agent? Which user does run the agent under Windows?

Hi!

It's supposed the agent runs under windows using the system account. The installer do that. There's also a small bug (solved in the last binary at the SVN) with keys and carriage return at the end of the key file (see http://www.openideas.info/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=231)

Check the SSH keys generation. Check http://www.openideas.info/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=646#646
