Versions:
GLPI Agent 1.17, published by Teclib’, is a generic IT-asset management agent designed to automate inventory collection, hardware/software auditing, and remote-control tasks either autonomously or under the direction of a central GLPI server. Born from a fork of the well-known FusionInventory agent, the program retains backward compatibility with the FusionInventory-for-GLPI plugin while adding a native communication protocol that streamlines data exchange with current GLPI installations. Typical deployments include enterprise networks that need periodic, agent-based discovery of workstations, servers, printers, and network devices; software-license compliance audits that require granular application metering; and data-center environments where accurate, up-to-date CMDB records feed change-management workflows. The agent’s scheduler can execute local jobs—such as registry inspection, WMI queries, or SNMP walks—without immediate server contact, then compress and forward results when connectivity is available, making it equally suitable for highly secured VLANs and mobile endpoints. Since its inception the project has released eleven successive versions, each refining security, expanding platform coverage, and integrating new inventory criteria requested by the GLPI community. System administrators commonly deploy the lightweight service through GPO, Puppet, or Ansible playbooks, pairing it with the GLPI web console to obtain normalized asset records, automated network maps, and rich reporting dashboards. GLPI Agent is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads supplied through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest build and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
