What is FusionInventory Agent FOR LINUX?

FusionInventory Agent

FusionInventory Agent is a cool, open-source app that’s totally free and works on different platforms. It’s built using Perl and designed to be a web-based tool that connects with major free software products like GLPI, GOSA, OPSI, FAI, and the Tracker plugin. Pretty neat, right?

Compatibility with Popular Tools

This handy application plays nice with the GLPI (Gestionnaire Libre de Parc Informatique) Tracker and OCS (Open Computer and Software) Inventory plugins. It can manage computers, network devices, printers, virtual machines, and even Android smartphones!

Cross-Platform Support

The best part? FusionInventory Agent is cross-platform! It supports many GNU/Linux distributions such as Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Fedora, Gentoo, Mageia, and OpenMandriva. If you're into BSD flavors like FreeBSD or OpenBSD or even using Solaris or AIX or Mac OS X – you’re covered!

How It's Built

This software is written entirely in Perl and needs several Perl modules to run smoothly. These include File::Which for file handling; Text::Template for text processing; LWP for web requests; UNIVERSAL::require for loading modules dynamically; Net::IP for IP address handling; and XML::TreePP for XML parsing.

Required Modules

You’ll also need the Compress::Zlib module to compress messages. The HTTP::Daemon module sets up the web interface while IO::Socket::SSL helps with HTTPS protocol support. Plus there are Proc::PID::File and Proc::Daemon modules for running it in daemon mode.

Printer Detection & Hardware Inventory

If you want to detect printers easily or gather hardware inventory data, you'll need Net::CUPS along with the dmidecode and lspci utilities. This program works perfectly on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
