Overview¶
The Asset Management Module is an additional NetEye feature module that allows to keep an inventory of a company’s IT infrastructure. NetEye 4 integrates a solution to provide this functionality: the server and agent part of the Open Source Software GLPI.
GLPI helps you plan and manage IT changes in an easy way, solving problems efficiently, automating business processes and gaining control over the IT infrastructure. It provides advanced features for inventory, asset and mobile devices management.
The inventory feature of GLPI serves to collect assets from multiple devices in the monitored IT environment and list them in a inventory. This functionality is granted by the GLPI Agents which send all the collected assets to the Server in the NetEye Master.
GLPI can be directly accessed from the NetEye GUI (within the Asset Management menu) using Single Sign On, with suitable permissions (see Configuration Section). Upon the first access from a user, that user will be created inside GLPI with a profile that reflects the permissions defined in NetEye.
The official, full documentation for GLPI is available directly from within its interface.
Note
If the user logs out from NetEye, its active GLPI session will be closed automatically and it will be redirected to the NetEye login page.
Note
The users will be not able to use the GLPI’s Marketplace feature, because we disable it to guarantee the integrity of the NetEye ecosystem.
