Upgrading from version 2.x
Upgrading opReports from version 2.x is easy, as version 2 and 3 can be installed both on a single machine, at the same time:
...
- The individual performing this installation has a small bit of Linux experience.
- Root access is available.
- Internet access is required for installing any missing but required software packages.
- NMIS (8.5.0 or newer) must already be installed on the same server that opReports is being installed on.
- You will need a license for opReports (evaluation licenses are available here).
- All licenses are added/updated at https://<hostname>/omk/opLicense .
Preparation
- If NMIS is not installed yet, please follow the instructions in the NMIS 8 Installation Guide.
- Download opReports from the Opmantek website.
Installation Steps
As of February 2016, opReports is distributed in a self-extracting download format that simplifies the installation process quite a bit. More information on running the installer can be found HERE: The Opmantek Installer
Transfer the opReports tarball installer onto the server in question, either by direct download from the Opmantek website, or from your desktop with scp
or sftp
or a similar file transfer tool.
Make a record of where you put the tarball (root's home directory or /tmp
are good locations).
Become
root
and unpack the tarball: # become root sudo sh # if the tarball was saved in a different location, adjust the following command cd tar xzfCode Block Start the interactive installer and follow its instructions. The installer now fully covers both initial installations as well as upgrades from earlier versions of opReports.

- The installer will interactively guide you through the steps of installing opReports. Please make sure to read the on-screen prompts carefully.
- When the installer finishes, opReports is installed into /usr/local/omk, and the default configuration files are in /usr/local/omk/conf, ready for your initial config adjustments.
- A detailed log of the installation process is saved as /usr/local/omk/install.log, and subsequent upgrades or installations of other Opmantek products will add to that logfile.
- For detailed information about the interactive installer please check the Opmantek Installer page.
Initial Setup
opReports works almost completely "out of the box" and requires just a very few configuration settings to be adjusted initially:
...
If you want to run scheduled reports very frequently, then the default frequency for the opReports scheduler may be insufficient.
By default opReports installs a cron file (in /etc/cron.d/opreports
) which runs opreports-scheduler.pl once per hour. Feel free to modify that cron file to your liking.
