Problem's description

OCS Inventory Server 2.12.0 (Docker image used ocsinventory/ocsinventory-docker-image:2.12) generates empties ocs files (0 bytes size) when a computer (client) is running OCS Inventory Unix Agent 2.10.0, Compress::Zlib is not detected and gzip is used by the agent

[Tue Jun 25 12:51:47 2024][debug] Compress::Zlib is not available! The data will be compressed with
             gzip instead but won't be accepted by server prior 1.02

If I force deflated mode in Compress.pm (unix agent file) .ocs file is successfully generated in OCS Inventory Server
GENERATE_OCS_FILES option is enabled

Hi @jsalgado78 ,

If I understand your issue, Compress::Zlib isn't installed on your agent machine ?
However, as you can see on the Unix agent installation documentation, Compress:Zlib is required.

Hi,

Compress::Zlib rpm package is installed but it was not detected because of path issues so OCS agent uses gzip.

If Compress::Zlib is required this debug message is confuse and OCS Inventory Server doesn't support properly gzipped data:

Compress::Zlib is not available! The data will be compressed with
gzip instead but won't be accepted by server prior 1.02

Thanks.

Best regards,
