Data collector for OCS Inventory

This stand-alone application collects information from a single OCS Inventory NG server in order to populate the iTop CMDB with the collected Servers, PCs and Virtual machines. The collector uses the iTop data synchronization engine to synchronize the information between OCS Inventory and iTop.

• Automated inventory of Brand, Model, OS Family, OS Version, OS Licence, Physical Server, PC, Virtual Machine, Mobile Phone, Printer, Software from OCS Inventory server
• Automated inventory of Network Interfaces
• Collect IP addresses ad IP interfaces
• The collector can reside on any system with web access to iTop and mysql access to the OCS Inventory server
• Automatic creation and update of the Synchronization Data Sources in iTop.
• It is necessary to install the small extension itop-ocsng2 which adds some fields and an “OCS Inventory” link on synchronized PCs, Servers, Virtual Machines, Mobile Phones and software. This link opens a new tab with the OCS page of the device.

• The collector does not retrieve installed software information
• The collector is not normalizing Model, OS Family and OS Version
• The collector synchronizes only PCs and Servers which have a valid serial number in OCS
• If IP collection is enabled, only IPv4 addresses are collected, not IPv6
• There is no single sign-on between iTop and OCS, so you will need to log in to OCS when you display the OCS tab

Comprehensive documentation on that extension is available here, on iTop Hub.
