* What is OCS Inventory ?
“Open Computers and Software Inventory” or OCS for short, is an open source assets management and deployment solution.
OCS contains tons of great features and has come a long way from when they first launched back in 2005.
One of the amazing features of OCS are the agents, OCS’s agents gather the software and hardware composition of every computer or server and in turn send that off to an on-prem OCS server for centralized management.
* Inventory feature
OCS Inventory NG uses an agent that launches an inventory on client computers, a management server centralizes the results of inventories.
The Web Administration Console allows you to view these inventory results, the detected network hardware, and to create deployment packages
Communications between agents and the management server are performed using the HTTP and HTTPS protocols. All data is formatted as XML and zlib compressed to reduce the network usage.
The Management Server decomposes as follows:
-Database server
-Communication Server
-Remote deployment server
-Communication interface
-Logical Disk/Partitions : Logical disk letters, type (USB, HDD, CD-ROM, network, RAM…), file system (FAT, FAT32, NTFS…), total size in MB, free space in MB.
-OS : Detailed system, user information, registered company, registered owner, registered product (ID)
-Software : Extracts from the registry as described in “Add/Remove Programs” in Control Panel: name, Publisher, version, language, installation name, architecture (32 or 64), hotfix list.
-Screen : Manufacturer, resolution, description, type, serial number.
-Computer Description : As described in the identification tab of the network settings dialog box.
*Addons for OCS inventory
OCS Inventory NG offers the ability to extend the functionality of your favorite inventory software using extensions.
On the agents side, a plugin can be a simple VBS or PowerShell script for Windows, or a shell script on UNIX, retrieving data that completes the inventory (such as reassembling Microsoft Office keys or scheduled tasks) or more complicated, a DLL on Windows or a Perl module on UNIX adding new full capacity to the agent.
On the server side, you can also create extensions to store data in database using a Perl plugin built into the communication server and display this information in the administration interface using a PHP plugin. These extensions can also control the execution of agents ‘ tasks.
With extensions, OCS Inventory NG no longer has a limit… Just your imagination!
