fusioninventory-agent¶

The fusioninventory-agent agent is a generic multi-platform agent. It can perform a large array of management tasks, such as local inventory, software deployment or network discovery. It can be used either standalone, or in combination with a compatible server (OCS, GLPI, OTRS) acting as a centralized control point.

Options¶

Most of the options are available in a short form and a long form. For example, the two lines below are all equivalent:

% fusioninventory-agent -s localhost % fusioninventory-agent --server localhost

Target definition options¶

-s, —server=URI¶

Send the results of tasks execution to given server.

If URI doesn’t start with http:// or https://, the agent assume the parameter is a hostname and rewrite it as:

% --server=http://servername/ocsinventory

In general, OCS Inventory server URL have this format:

http://servername/ocsinventory

and FusionInventory for GLPI this one:

http://servername/glpi/plugins/fusioninventory/front/plugin_fusioninventory.communication.php

Multiple values can be specified, using comma as a separator.

-l, —local=PATH¶

Write the results of tasks execution locally.

Exact behaviour according to given path:

• if PATH is a directory, a file will be created therein
• if PATH is a file, it will be used directly
• if PATH is ‘-‘, STDOUT will be used

Multiple values can be specified, using comma as a separator.

Target scheduling options¶

—delaytime=LIMIT¶

Set an initial delay before the first target, whose value is computed randomly between LIMIT / 2 and LIMIT seconds. This setting is ignored for server targets after the initial contact, in favor of server-specified parameter (PROLOG_FREQ).

—lazy¶

Do not contact the target before next scheduled time.

This option is only available when the agent is not run as a server.

Task selection options¶

—list-tasks¶

—no-task=TASK¶

Do not run given task.

Multiple values can be specified, using comma as a separator. See option —list-tasks for the list of available tasks.

—tasks=TASK¶

Run given tasks in given order.

Multiple tasks can be specified, using comma as a separator. A task can be specified several times. if ‘. ‘ is given as last element, all other available tasks are executed.

See option —list-tasks for the list of available tasks.

• —tasks=inventory,deploy,inventory First task executed is ‘inventory’, second task is ‘deploy’, third and last task is ‘inventory’.
• —tasks=inventory,deploy. First executed task is ‘inventory’, second task is ‘deploy’ and then all other available tasks are executed.

Inventory task specific options¶

—no-category=CATEGORY¶

—backend-collect-timeout=TIME¶

Timeout for inventory modules execution.

—additional-content=FILE¶

Additional inventory content file.

This file should be an XML file, using same syntax as the one produced by the agent.

Package deployment task specific options¶

—no-p2p¶

Disable the embedded web server.

—httpd-ip=IP¶

The network interface to use for the embedded web server (all).

—httpd-port=PORT¶

The network port to use for the embedded web server (62354).

—httpd-trust=IP¶

For example: «192.168.0.0/24», «192.168.168.0.5» or an IP range like «20.34.101.207 — 201.3.9.99». Hostnames are also accepted. See Net::IP documentation to get more example.

Multiple values can be specified, using comma as a separator.

Logging options¶

—logger=BACKEND¶

Logger backend to use.

Multiple values can be specified, using comma as a separator. The available backends are:

• stderr: log messages directly in the console.
• file: log messages in a file.
• syslog: log messages through the local syslog server.

Multiple values can be specified, using comma as a separator.

—logfile=FILE¶

Log message in FILE (implies File logger backend).

—logfile-maxsize=SIZE¶

Max logfile size in MB, default is unlimited. When the max size is reached, the file is truncated. This is only useful if there is no log rotation mechanism on the system.

—logfacility=FACILITY¶

Syslog facility to use (default LOG_USER).

—color¶

Display color on the terminal, when the Stderr backend is used.

This options is ignored on Windows.

Configuration options¶

• none: don’t read any configuration.

—conf-file=FILE¶

Use FILE as configuration file (implies file configuration backend).

—conf-reload-interval=SECONDS¶

SECONDS is the number of seconds between two configuration reloadings. Default value is 0, which means that configuration is never reloaded. Minimum value is 60. If given value is less than this minimum, it is set to this minimum. If given value is less than 0, it is set to 0.

• when reloading, options set on commandline are kept
• completly empty defines (nothing after the equal sign) in config files is now supported and this fix an issue where windows portable version was trying to write to a log file by default

  • we fixed Batteries support and added an information to report capacity usage
  • we added some new Acer monitor serial support

  • on linux, Qemu Kvm virtualization inventory has been enhanced
  • dmidecode parsing result has been cleaned a little
  • on linux, virtual overlayfs related to docker are now filtered out
  • on linux, ASM storage inventory has been enhanced
  • manufacturer reporting is now better
  • we now support parsing few manufacturer PartNumbers which can enhance inventory for memories and controllers
  • thanks to a great work from Vadim Pisarev (aka po1vo):
    • smartctl could be used to enhanced storage support on linux
    • memory model is now included in inventory
    • controller model and serial are also supported
    • memory and controller inventory can also be enhanced using IPMI
    • Storage inventory has been enhanced
    • we have Micron PartNumber memory support

      • Oki printers support has been enhanced with model detection
      • support for few Siemens and MultiTech industrial modules
      • LinuxAppliance support has been extended to support Ubiquiti UniFi AP
      • Hwg support has been added thanks to Bertrand Keller
      • HP switches support has been enhanced
      • we now verify a user and password has been provided before attemting to connect to ESX server
      • fusioninventory-injector has been enhanced to avoid a fatal error while submitting a empty or wrong file and while using –xml-ua option
      • fusioninventory-injector also now check and report an error if the server is answering the XML is not valid

      On packaging side:

      • win32 installer now uses Strawberry Perl 5.32.0.1 and dmidecode v3.3-gitd64af97
      • Debian package will no more produce an error while installing again after an uninstall

      Check the Changes file for more details.

      The agent is no more supported for old operating systems. It may continue to work on these platforms but we won’t handle issues reported for them:

      As another reminder, Windows agent installers are built from the fusioninventory-agent-windows-installer github repository.

      As usual many thanks to all our community, users and contributors!
