The GLPI Agent is a generic management agent. It can perform a certain number of tasks, according to its own execution plan, or on behalf of a GLPI server acting as a control point.
This agent is based on a fork of FusionInventory agent and so works mainly like FusionInventory agent. It introduces new features and a new protocol to communicate directly with a GLPI server and its native inventory feature. Anyway it also keeps the compatibility with FusionInventory for GLPI plugin.
- Release: See our github releases for official win32, MacOSX & linux packages.
- Development builds:
- nightly builds for last 'develop' branch commits: GLPI-Agent nightly builds

The GLPI Agent has its dedicated documentation project where any contribution will also be appreciated.
The documentation itself is readable online.
