Hi,

Just upgraded a plateforme to 23.10.14 a few days ago and I noticed all the monitoring connector packs were no more  marked as installed in the manager (although all centreon-pack-* packages are present). This looks like a bug but it’s not the most surprising thing. When I went for reinstall the packs I noticed very strange dependencies, like, for example, when I installed “Generic SNMP” it installed “Mac SNMP” and “FreeBSD SNMP” (at least). If I try then to remove “Mac SNMP” it confirms the dependency:
 

 
Same with “FreeBSD SNMP”. What’s the problem? I can perfectly understand how it may exist a dependency on “Generic SNMP” for the Mac and FreeBSD packs, but not the other way around.

I guess I should remove the RPM for those packs (I’ll test if I find some time later) but it still doesn’t look right to me.

In fact it looks like dependencies are totally fucked up 😒
 

 

Hi @Stéphane,

 

Even if the centreon-pack-* packages are installed, they still need to be installed via the web interface.  However, it's a bug if they've been uninstalled on the web interface after the update.

 

Regarding Generic SNMP, the connector has the following dependencies:

  • Base Pack
  • Cisco Standard
  • FreeBSD SNMP
  • HP Procurve
  • HP Standard Network
  • HP-UX
  • Linux SNMP
  • Mac SNMP
  • Mrv Optiswitch
  • Palo Alto firewall SNMP
  • RedBack Router
  • Silverpeak
  • Stonesoft
  • Windows SNMP

 

Base Pack is needed as it provides the templates generic-active-host and generic-active-service. For the rest, those are needed as the host discovery rules provides by Generic SNMP have by default template mappers linked to the hosts templates of those connectors.

OK I get it (I think). Not having the discovery rules in Generic SNMP would force to have them in each of the other packs.
This is a bit annoying though, because it leads to having a lot of host templates that we would very probably never use.

Thank you for your answer.
