1. Assets management with FusionInventory and GLPI ´ Goneri Le Bouder – goneri@rulezlan.org HPC Computing and OpenSource / Linux Technical Excellence Stmposium 2011 17 March 2011

2. About myself Free software enthusiast with an awful french accent Debian Developer Perl Monger Former OCS Inventory developer Work at TECLIB’, Paris, France FusionInventory Project coleader

3. Outline Overview FusionInventory The project History Community Questions

4. Global overview +

6. Agent history a fork of OCS Inventory UNIX agent by its author started 5 years ago GPLv2

7. use Perl Luke! We choose to use Perl on the agent side. portable reliable versatile stable API

8. Agent pull / Server push Connection are always created by the agent. A ”push” option allow the server to contact the agent: just a trigger that awake the agent.

9. Tasks Not only for machine inventory. The agent supports different tasks: Network discovery Remote inventory Software deployment Wake On Lan ...

10. Tasks Not only for machine inventory. The agent supports different tasks: Network discovery Remote inventory Software deployment Wake On Lan ...

11. The inventories BIOS serial numbers, UUID, ... local Memory memory slot, size, ... CPU frequency, name, manufacturer, ... Software apt-get, yum, Windows software, BSD pkg, ... Harddrive serial number, manufacturer, ... Partition ... Virtual Machine libvirt, xen, ... USB devices phone, USB key, ... ... see the list on Internet. It’s easy to add new information. Just ask us or submit patches!

12. Network discovery FusionInventory can do basic network inventory in GLPI Seek nmap netbios SNMP query Identify network stack Windows domain information sysdesc comparaison

13. Remote SNMP inventory Network devices serial number, ﬁrmware, ... ports mapping Network printers serial number, ﬁrmware, ... cartridge ink level page counter

14. Wake on LAN What? awake computer. How? send the Magic Packet from an agent in the same network send raw ethernet packet UDP packet still possible Beneﬁt no ﬁrewall issue nor special routage rule needed

17. Software deployment What? OCS software deployment support featuring peer to peer support Beneﬁt no proxy nor mirror bandwidth-friendly OS independent

18. supported OS (1/2) Runs everywhere! A large collection of supported OS all the major system are supported portage is easy as soon as a Perl exist

19. supported OS (1/2) Runs everywhere! A large collection of supported OS all the major system are supported portage is easy as soon as a Perl exist

20. supported OS (2/2) Supported Operating Systems: Linux BSD AIX HP-UX Solaris Windows, all from 2000 to Seven 64bit A complete list is avallable on the website

28. Agent installation different options distribution packages Debian, Fedora, EPEL, Ubuntu, Mageia, ... Windows installer GPO, psexec, ... static prebuilt packages, untar and run 53 differents system so far tarball or CPAN installation

29. Server? 3 different servers (so far!) FusionInventory for GLPI Uranos OCS Inventory NG server less local mode is also possible for Inventory

30. Server? 3 different servers (so far!) FusionInventory for GLPI Uranos OCS Inventory NG server less local mode is also possible for Inventory

32. A long long time ago Tracker was a GLPI extension with a Perl agent. Its goal was simple: just “SNMP”

33. A long long time ago again OCS Inventory Agent for UNIX was an inventory agent without SNMP support.

34. And we merged

35. The project workﬂow FusionInventory is a community-driven project. active mailing lists IRC: #FusionInventory on FreeNode public Forge, Git repositories, etc

36. Who We are Legion! about 10 core developers involved in the project active community of contributors 2 companies involved We are looking for people to JOIN US!

38. What else? (1/2) agent developement is very active code clean up larger test-suite, modern perl architecture changes event-driven programming, various executable smaller memory footprint

39. What else? (1/2) agent developement is very active code clean up larger test-suite, modern perl architecture changes event-driven programming, various executable smaller memory footprint

40. What else? (2/2) In test-suite we trust! strong effort done during the last year 36 800 tests on the GLPI plugin and up to 2 000 on the agent with even stronger beneﬁt so far

41. Our roadmap What we are about to release FusionInventory for GLPI 0.78: beta planned for this month ESX inventory: before june Android Agent Work in progress Software deployment OCS/XML → REST/JSON transition

42. FusionInventory for GLPI 0.78: Action scheduler 1/2 4 ce s s! 1 Task: WakeOnLan a Boot the machine from machine b a uc S b b 3 2 Collect machine b sent information about Task: Netdiscovery Scanner network range A the network from machineb

43. FusionInventory for GLPI 0.78: Action scheduler 2/2
