Release GLPI Agent for Android

Description:

Features:

This new version allows you to override the serial number :

In new versions of Android, it is no longer possible to retrieve the ‘real’ phone’s serial number (considered as sensitive and private data). The agent therefore generates a UUID (as recommended by Google -> https://developer.android.com/training/articles/user-data-ids#best-practices-android-identifiers).

However, on a factory reset or when reinstalling the inventory agent, this UUID changes. And when an inventory is uploaded, GLPI will create a new device (because the serial number is different). It is now possible to define a serial number (with the one already stored in GLPI) to avoids duplication in the GLPI inventory.

The Agent Config plugin has also been updated, to feature a new QRCode / Deeplink on the device file containing the serial number.

Android compatibility

  • From Android 4 (Jelly Bean) to Android 13 (Sdk 33)

Unlocking Efficient Network Inventory Management with the GLPI Agent Toolbox Plugin

When we speak about IT asset management, ensuring the efficient tracking and management of your organization’s hardware and software assets is paramount. The GLPI Agent, an essential component of the GLPI Inventory ecosystem, is your ally in achieving this. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the GLPI Agent, its importance, and a valuable toolbox plugin that allows administrators to manage tasks locally without the need to create them on the GLPI server.

This is especially valuable for complex networks where installing agents on every computer may not be feasible or when security and compliance reasons restrict server connections.

Understanding the GLPI Agent

The GLPI Agent is a powerful tool developed to simplify the challenges associated with IT asset management. It facilitates the collection and transmission of vital data from connected devices to the central GLPI Server. This continuous flow of data empowers organizations to:

  • Maintain Real-Time Inventory: With the GLPI Agent, you can keep an up-to-date inventory of your hardware and software assets. This real-time snapshot is crucial for making informed decisions.
  • Reduce Downtime: By having a clear view of your IT assets, you can minimize downtime by addressing issues proactively and efficiently.
  • Optimize Resource Allocation: Resource allocation becomes more efficient when you know exactly what you have. This leads to cost savings and improved productivity.
  • Enhance Security Protocols: Security is a top concern in the IT world. With the GLPI Agent, you can better protect your assets by staying informed about their status.
  • Compliance and Licensing: For organizations that need to comply with licensing and security requirements, the GLPI Agent is a valuable asset for maintaining compliance.

Introducing the GLPI Toolbox Plugin

One of the standout features of the GLPI Agent is its toolbox plugin. This plugin allows administrators to manage tasks locally, directly from their computers, without the need to create tasks on the GLPI server. This feature is particularly valuable in scenarios where:

  • Installing agents on every computer is not practical.
  • Security measures or compliance regulations prevent direct server connections.

Since the version 1.6 some new and important features were added to the Toolbox plugin like:

  • A dedicated page to schedule tasks — you can also setup the tasks to run on a daily basis or in blob times ( e.g.: every hour, or every three hours)
  • A dedicated list of inventoried devices — when using the Agent Folder as the target of the tasks
  •  New layout of icons and buttons
  • A wider range of credentials and IP ranges administration for Remote Inventory and ESX Inventory support.

To help you get started with the GLPI Toolbox Plugin, we’ve created a video tutorial. In this video, you’ll learn step-by-step how to set up the toolbox plugin for local task management and also how to create a scheduled task. This visual guide will make the process easy to understand and implement, ensuring that you can efficiently manage your tasks without unnecessary server interactions.

GLPI Partner’s Day 2023: A Memorable Event for Teclib and Our Partners!

GLPI Partner’s Day event, held on October 27th in Paris, was a global gathering that brought together over 60 partners representatives from 18 different countries. This event served as a platform for networking, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas among our valued partners, demonstrating the strength and diversity of our international network. 

The event took place on the “River Palace” boat, which cruised along the Seine River for 2.5 hours, providing an elegant backdrop for discussions and collaboration. The guests engaged in productive conversations while enjoying panoramic views of Paris’s iconic landmarks during the cruise, enhancing the overall Partner’s Day experience.

The agenda began with a warm welcome, followed by an opening presentation by our CEO, Pascal Aubry

This presentation set the tone for the event, highlighting Teclib’s vision and the significance of our global network. Mr. Aubry highlighted the importance of the open-source business model, which relies on financial support from customers purchasing GLPI Network support or using GLPI Network Cloud. These financial resources are vital for ongoing product development and the addition of new features, fostering collaboration between Teclib, partners, and customers to ensure the continuous improvement of GLPI.

Next, our guests had the opportunity to get to know the Teclib sales team and meet our channel managers. It was a unique chance to put faces to the voices they collaborate with daily. 

Loïc Le Fur, Sales Director, expressed his sincere gratitude to each of the invited members for their presence and dedication to GLPI. He then handed over the mic to the channel managers, starting with Anna Kostrzewska, based in Poland, and Samra Mola, operating from Italy. Both shared crucial data related to our global partnership network, including the number of partners, the worldwide GLPI user count, and the various partner offerings (Silver, Gold, and Platinum levels).

Following that, Polina Marishicheva, Marketing & Communication Manager, took the floor to share some revealing data about the traffic on the following websites:

She also discussed the visibility Teclib offers to partners to expand GLPI support effectively.

Teclib´ Platinum partner EORIS, presented by Alexandre Tur, Sales Director, shared a significant success case of GLPI implementation in a major French engineering company which aimed to standardize its processes across all its French subsidiaries. They approached EORIS to see if GLPI could meet this need, and once again, GLPI proved to be the ideal tool for the job.

Teclib Gold partner, OMNICOM, presented (by CEO Miroslav Hlohovsky) their GLPI project “City of Košice“. This project came with several challenges due to its extensive scope. One of the most significant challenges was the need to include all existing IT technician teams from 12 municipal organizations. Additionally, all IT users in the city of Košice, totaling 1,500 users, needed to be integrated. The goal was to centralize all IT requirements into one system, making it easier for users to request services and for technicians to manage them. 

You can find the complete article about the city of Košice here: https://glpi-project.org/success-story-omnicom-city-kosice/ 

These real-users testimonials explain the vital link between Teclib and our partners. 

GLPI, one of the most widely deployed ITSM software globally, plays a crucial role in the evolution of both the software and our partnerships.

The day continued with a presentation by Alexandre Delaunay, Head of GLPI Development, who shared the GLPI roadmap, the latest news, including new plugin features and updates, and engaged in constructive discussions with event participants.

The time came for the cocktail reception, followed by a two-and-a-half-hour cruise on the Seine. Our guests had the opportunity to enjoy exceptional views of Paris’s iconic landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower, while relaxing on the boat’s deck.

The GLPI Partners’ Day 2023 was a resounding success, strengthening the bonds that unite us worldwide. This event not only presented the Teclib team but also underscored our commitment to our partners. We look forward to continuing this journey together and exploring new opportunities for the future.

We want to extend our warm thanks to all our partners who made this celebration possible. It’s their trust and collaboration that continue to fuel Teclib’s growth and prosperity. The Teclib Partners’ Day 2023 will remain memorable in our company’s history, and we await the next steps in this fantastic adventure.
