OCS inventory is a system that polls information about servers and PCs through an agent.
Installing the server / reporting
apt-get install ocsinventory-reports ocsinventory-server
then go to http://monitor.tripnet.int/ocsreports
finish the questions and it's up and running. It will have no info in it.
Installing the agents
apt-get install ocsinventory-agent
during this proces it will ask for local / http (http if connected) and the server name (monitor.tripnet.int / 192.168.0.10 if it doesn't resolve that). You can change that in /etc/ocsinventory/ocsinventory-agent.cfg
next run
/etc/cron.daily/ocsinventory-agent
and after it's done, you should see it in the reporting server.
Give it a relevant tag.
Polling ESXi hosts
you need fusioninventory-agent-task-esx package.
Before running the script,
cd /usr/share/fusioninventory/lib
Or it will give you a perl error then:
fusioninventory-esx --host hostname --user root --password foo --directory /tmp
Creates the .ocs file in /tmp/
You then need to inject it into OCSInventory, which can also be done from the server:
fusioninventory-injector -v -f /tmp/*.ocs --url http://user:pw@monitor.tripnet.int:80/ocsinventory
This may not work if you're polling a later version of ESXi though, because it only supports up to 5.0 http://www.fusioninventory.org/documentation/references/agent-task-esx/2.x/fusioninventory-esx/
