Public bug reported:
Not sure if this is a bug with ocsinventory-agent or the net-tools
package, so apologies if this is the wrong place to report this.
Ocsinventory unified agent for UNIX, Linux and MacOSX (2.0.5) (not installed
from source, deb repository install)
Linux $HOSTNAME 4.9.0-3-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.9.30-2+deb9u1 (2017-06-18) i686
GNU/Linux
Noticed that my Debian 9/Ubuntu 16.10/17.04 clients aren't reporting the
IP address to the web interface (showing in OCSReports). Ran the
following command:
ocsinventory-agent --debug --logfile=ocs.log
Noticed the following in the [debug] section:
[Fri Jul 7 15:17:57 2017][debug] Section HARDWARE has changed since last
inventory
[Fri Jul 7 15:17:57 2017][debug] Missing value(s): MAC-address . I will
send this inventory to the server BUT important value(s) to identify the
computer are missing
[Fri Jul 7 15:17:58 2017][debug] sending XML
[Fri Jul 7 15:17:58 2017][debug] sending: <?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8"?>
Looked for IPADDR tags, found the following (addresses have been changed):
<HARDWARE>
<CHECKSUM>1</CHECKSUM>
<DATELASTLOGGEDUSER>Fri Jul 7 15:08</DATELASTLOGGEDUSER>
<DEFAULTGATEWAY>192.168.1.2</DEFAULTGATEWAY>
<DESCRIPTION>x86_64/00-00-23 20:58:16</DESCRIPTION>
<DNS>192.168.1.1/192.168.1.1</DNS>
<IPADDR></IPADDR>
While googling, found this:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/ocs-inventory-ip-address-of-clients-shows-blank-on-web-page-4175537702/
Doesn't work. ocsinventory-agent doesn't have any issue finding
ifconfig, it's in the path (/sbin/), hence:
[Fri Jul 7 16:45:45 2017][debug] - ifconfig found
[Fri Jul 7 16:45:45 2017][debug] - ifconfig found
Observed that ifconfig in Debian 9 (stretch)Ubuntu 16/17 no longer
provides the HWaddr information, which, I'm not sure if this is relevant
to the debug message from earlier regarding the MAC address, but it
seems so.
Interestingly enough found this in regards to the missing HWaddr info:

Not sure what's deprecated about a perfectly functioning utility, but
ifconfig appears to call the HWaddr/MAC "ether" now.
Somewhat sanitized logfile attached.
