💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

fusioninventory-netinventory can be used to run a network inventory task without a GLPI server.

that's it. that's the pitch. no server, no problem, main character energy. 👑

---

🫶 OPTIONS 🫶

• --host HOST — run an online inventory against the given host. you can use this multiple times if you've got multiple hosts, because why settle for one. ✨
• --port PORT[,PORT2] — the list of ports to try, and it defaults to: 161

set it to 161,16100 to first try the default port and then try 16100. yes, it tries them in order, it's polite like that. 💖

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

possible values are: udp/ipv4,udp/ipv6,tcp/ipv4,tcp/ipv6 — pick your fighter. 🌈

• --file FILE — run an offline inventory against snmpwalk output stored in the given file. multiple usage allowed, for multiple files. ngl this is the cozy offline mode. 🍓
• --communty STRING — use the given string as the SNMP community (this assumes SNMPv1).

bestie, real talk: the flag is spelled --communty in this manual, missing an i, and no we are not fixing it. it's iconic, it's canon, we leave it exactly as written. don't come for me. 🙈

• --credentials STRING — use the given string as an SNMP credentials specification. this spec 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.

the way that's just a little config language inside one flag… obsessed. 💅

• --timeout TIME — set the SNMP timeout, in seconds. no default listed here in the options, but the synopsis above says (15), so. you know. iykyk. ⭐
• --type TYPE — force the device type instead of letting it do its little automatic identification thing. currently allowed types are:
  • COMPUTER
  • NETWORKING
  • PRINTER
  • STORAGE
  • POWER
  • PHONE

pick one, be decisive, slay. 🔥

• --threads count — use the given number of inventory threads. parallelize, queen. 🌸
• --control — output server-agent control messages in addition to the inventory result itself. bonus content fr fr. 😭
• --debug — turn debug mode on. multiple usage allowed, for additional verbosity. yes you can stack it. yes that's a little unhinged. no you don't have to. 💀

🧚 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

look at those backslashes. look at that indentation. immaculate. no cap. 🎀✨

okay so that's genuinely everything, bestie. go inventory something. 💖
