Thank you for your help, my goal is to have a agentless inventory for network equipments, printers and computers.

One more question for example if my XML don't have that structure( "http://fusioninventory.org/documentation/dev/spec/protocol/netinventory.html" ) the command "fusioninventory-injector" don't work right? Or the command "fusioninventory-injector" just verify if it's possible send to GLPI?

ok.

If haven't seen yet, we have the specs describing how a (netinventory) xml should be formed : http://fusioninventory.org/documentation/dev/spec/protocol/netinventory.html

Btw, if your goal is to get a network inventory (for netequipements and printers), only one agent is required, on glpi server for example, the agent use nmap for achieving this.

If your goal is to have an agentless inventory of computers, we have an internal development for that using ssh/snmp/wmi/winrm, not public yet but part of glpi agent project (in development). You can contact us on glpi[at]teclib.com

I will give a little context. My boss requested for using GLPI to inventory-management but he doesn't like the idea of having agents. So he requested to build programs using NMAP for information collection and transform the output to XML.

When I had the XML ready, I would import it with the command "fusioninventory-injector" for GLPI, but FusionInventory don't understand the XML i created so i tried this "http://fusioninventory.org/documentation/agent/additional_content.html"

Support is a little tricky since the dev's first language is French, but take a look at GLPI. Includes ticket and asset management, and you can use FusionInventory to populate and maintain the asset database.

You mean, could I deploy EPO onto the Windows machines with proper GPO support from one of the many different ADs ? Sure, but that's like 10% of the entire inventory and those few are already correctly inventoried anyway. I'm not supposed to touch these as I'm a linux admin.

Just saw your mention of Remedy. That's what we had before $evilproprietarybillingsystem, and everyone misses it.

My previous place used DNS records as reference initially, which we kept in perfect status at all times, and double-checked it on the VCenter listing on a weekly basis. But eventually even that was replaced with generalized FusionInventory + GLPI backend. Maybe look into that: http://fusioninventory.org/

GLPI + fusionInventory agent. It's a server you set up, but if you're only using it on the local network it's quite simple to do so. GLPI has tons of features but you don't have to use any beyond this.
