GLPI's native inventory eliminates the dependency on FusionInventory. From GLPI 10 onwards, just install GLPI Agent and inventory happens automatically.
What GLPI Agent collects
- Hardware: CPU, RAM, disk, motherboard, serial number
- Software: installed programs, versions, dates
- Operating system: version, architecture, hotfixes
- Network: interfaces, IPs, MACs, gateways
- Peripherals: monitors, USB printers, devices
GLPI Agent installation
Windows
Download the MSI installer from github.com/glpi-project/glpi-agent and run it with the parameters:
glpi-agent-1.x-x64.msi /qn SERVER=https://glpi.suaempresa.com TAG=filial-spLinux (Debian/Ubuntu)
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/glpi-project/glpi-agent/main/tools/linux-installer.sh | bash -s -- --server https://glpi.suaempresa.comConfiguration in GLPI
Go to Administration > Inventory to manage connected agents, schedule tasks, and configure import rules.
SNMP Discovery
To inventory network devices:
- Configure SNMP credentials in Administration > Inventory > Credentials
- Define IP ranges for scanning in Administration > Inventory > Ranges
- Schedule Network Discovery and Network Inventory tasks
Import rules
In Administration > Rules > Import rules, configure how new devices are imported: target entity, asset type, initial status.
Troubleshooting
- Agent not showing up: check firewall (port 443 or 80), server URL, and SSL certificate
- Incomplete data: check agent permissions (admin/root required for full inventory)
- Duplicates: configure link rules by serial number or UUID
Next step
With inventory active, use dictionaries to standardize data and advance to asset lifecycle management.
