✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so the whole vibe in one code block, look:

fusioninventory-netinventory [options] [--host <host>|--file <file>]

  Options:
    --host <HOST>          target host
    --port <PORT[,PORT2]>  SNMP port (161)
    --protocol <PROT[,P2]> SNMP protocol/domain (udp/ipv4)
    --file <FILE>          snmpwalk output file
    --community <STRING>   community string (public)
    --credentials <STRING> SNMP credentials (version:1,community:public)
    --timeout <TIME>       SNMP timeout, in seconds (15)
    --type <TYPE>          force device type
    --threads <COUNT>      number of inventory threads (1)
    --control              output control messages
    --debug                debug output
    -h --help              print this message and exit
    --version              print the task version and exit

so like, you either point her at a live --host or hand her a --file — pick your fighter 🥊 — and then stack options on top like accessories. periodt.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

fusioninventory-netinventory can be used to run a network inventory task without a GLPI server. that's it, that's the whole serve. no server, no problem, she's doing it herself and she's doing it beautifully 🌸

---

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

• --host HOST — run an online inventory against the given host. multiple usage allowed, for multiple hosts. like, stack them, she can hold more than one 🫶
• --port PORT[,PORT2] — the list of ports to try. defaults to: 161

set it to 161,16100 to first try on the default port and then on 16100. yes, she'll knock on door number one and then door number two, very polite 💅

• --protocol PROTOCOL[,PROTOCOL2] — the list of protocols to try. defaults to: udp/ipv4

possible values are: udp/ipv4,udp/ipv6,tcp/ipv4,tcp/ipv6 — that's the whole menu bestie, no secret off-menu items 🌈

• --file FILE — run an offline inventory against snmpwalk output, stored in the given file. multiple usage allowed, for multiple files. offline era 😌✨
• --communty STRING — use the given string as the SNMP community (and assume SNMPv1).

okay bestie heads up: this one is spelled --communty right here on the page. that is genuinely how it's written. i'm not fixing it, i'm just reporting the facts 🙈 the synopsis up there says --community, and this section says --communty, and both of those are exactly what the page says. live your truth.

• --credentials STRING — use the given string as an SNMP credentials specification. this specification is a comma-separated list of key:value authentication parameters, such as:
  • version:2c,community:public
  • version:3,username:admin,authprotocol:sha,authpassword:s3cr3t
  • etc.

so like, key colon value, comma, key colon value, forever and ever, iconic 🎀

• --timeout TIME — set the SNMP timeout, in seconds. patience levels: configurable 🧚
• --type TYPE — force the device type, instead of relying on automatic identification. currently allowed types:
  • COMPUTER
  • NETWORKING
  • PRINTER
  • STORAGE
  • POWER
  • PHONE

those are your options, no freestyling with made-up types 💀

• --threads count — use the given number of inventory threads. multitasking queen behavior 👑
• --control — output server-agent control messages, in addition to the inventory result itself. two things at once, we love that 🦋
• --debug — turn the debug mode on. multiple usage allowed, for additional verbosity. stack it, stack it again, she'll get chattier every time 😭🔥

---

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

run an inventory against a network device, using SNMP version 2c authentication:

$> fusioninventory-netinventory --host 192.168.0.1 \
--credentials version:2c,community:public

run an inventory against a network device, using SNMP version 3 authentication and forcing its type:

$> fusioninventory-netinventory --host my.device --type NETWORKING \
--credentials version:3,username:admin,authprotocol:sha,authpassword:s3cr3t

see how she just goes? no GLPI server in sight, just vibes and credentials 💖
