Logs of the job
If in doubt about the proper functioning of the task, you can check the agent logs.
You can also follow the logs in GLPI, in the FusionInventory menu Network 1 > Discovery Status 2.
The list of executions is displayed with the result.
Forcing the import of ignored material
During discovery networks, it is possible that equipment is ignored. By default only equipment discovered with their serial number is imported into the Park at unmanaged equipment level.
Here is an example of a log with rejected equipment:
1. In the FusionInventory menu click on Rules 1 > Important and material binding rules 2.
2. In the list of rules find the NetworkEquipment import (by mac) 1 rule and click on it.
3. Change Active to Yes 1 and click the Save button 2.
4. Do the same thing for the NetworkEquipment update (by mac) rule.
At the next discovery, non-inventoried items that have a mac address will be imported.
Pass unmanaged imported equipment into network equipment.
1. In the GLPI navigation menu, switch to Asset 1 and click on Unmanaged Equiepemnt 2.
2. Click on the equipment to import 1.
3. Select type 1, in the field Approved hardware put Yes 2, enjoy being on the form to inform your SNMP 3 community then click on Save 4.
4. Then click Import 1 and the Import 2 button.
SNMP inventory job
This job will interrogate the discovered equipment and also the equipments recorded manually in GLPI. To interrogate equipment entered manually, you must inform the snmp community in the form.
To create an SNMP job, you must first create a new job.
1. Give the task a name 1, select the Network Inventory (SNMP) 2 module and click Add 3.
2. As for the discovery task add the configured IP ranges as well as the agents. In addition, you can add a manually entered Network Device 1.
When preparing the job, if an IP range is configured, only known and managed devices will be added. Unlike the discovery job, not all IPs are queried.
As with the inventory job, you just have to wait for the agent to do the job.
The inventory logs are available in Network> Network Inventory Status.
I hope this tutorial will help you in setting up the couple GLPI and FusionInventory.
