This version comes with a lot of changes and enhancements for the MSI packaging for Windows:
first of all, a huge work has been done to provide the windows installer with Perl 5.38.2 using latest essential libraries version for more security, like OpenSSL 3.2.1 and libssh2 1.11.0.
the patch for the CVE-2024-28240 security advisory is now based on a DLL library.
only 64 bits packaging for windows is provided.
the “Typical” installation no more includes Deploy and Collect tasks.
7-zip provided command is now v23.01 version.
GLPI-AgentMonitor tool is provided in 1.3.0 version and now the installer supports AGENTMONITOR_NEWTICKET_URLto configure the GLPI url for the open new ticket option.
On the inventory side, a new feature will help you reduce the carbon footprint of your GLPI system: the full inventory postpone
now, by default, and if your server is a GLPI 10, GLPI Agent can decide to postpone the upload of a full inventory up to 14 times, so about 2 weeks using the default configuration. Until then, the agent will upload partial inventories only containing detected changes.
full-inventory-postpone is a new configuration parameter which value is 14 by default. Setting it to 0, it is still possible to disable this feature coming back to previous normal running.
glpi-agent script is also supporting --full option to temporary disable the feature.
The MacOSX package only activates Inventory task by default now. You’ll have to explicitly activate any other tasks you need in a dedicated configuration file.
A lot of fixes and enhancement have also been included. Inventory, RemoteInventory, NetworkDiscovery et NetInventory tasks, but also Proxy and ToolBox plugins, are concerned. We encourage you to check all changes details in the official online Changelog available here: https://github.com/glpi-project/glpi-agent/blob/1.8/Changes
We encourage you to update your agents as soon as possible to take advantage of these improvements.

In the dynamic world of IT asset management, maintaining accurate and efficient control over asset allocation is crucial. GLPI, an open-source IT Asset Management system, provides a powerful and comprehensive solution to manage a vast array of assets. From hardware to software inventories to networking equipment.
When looking for efficiency, an effortless and reliable asset management process is crucial for maintaining operational data up-to date, laying the foundation for strategic planning.
The Challenge of Manual Asset Transfers
Manual asset transfers and update are one of the most faced challenges within an organization that starts the CMDB processes. The process, inherently prone to human error, can lead to inaccuracies in data, misallocations, and administrative overhead. It means costs and less perception of value to the company. Not to mention the time consumed from the people responsible to assure the inventory is correctly updated.
Automating Asset Transfers with GLPI
Automating asset transfer in GLPI not only saves time but also ensures a more efficient and error-free management process. By leveraging business rules, you can ensure that computers, software licenses, and monitors are always optimally allocated, improving overall productivity and resource utilization.
Benefits and Best Practices for Automated Asset Management
Choosing the correct criteria
Name – beginning, ending
IP – ranges, or fixed ones
Serial number – if it’s a lot
Inventory numbers
GLPI Inventory Agent tags
Standardize those rules in real life decisions
Make operations team understand that naming devices, VLAN, selecting IP addresses, impact directly into the documentation scenario.
Create documents to let everyone knows the new standards and the why’s.
Keep records of every asset and where they are in the organization.
