DESCRIPTION

       The fusioninventory-agent agent is a generic multi-platform agent. It can perform a large
       array of management tasks, such as local inventory, software deployment or network
       discovery. It can be used either standalone, or in combination with a compatible server
       (OCS, GLPI, OTRS) acting as a centralized control point.

OPTIONS

       Most of the options are available in a short form and a long form.  For example, the two
       lines below are all equivalent:

           % fusioninventory-agent -s localhost
           % fusioninventory-agent --server localhost

   Target definition options
       -s, --server=URI
           Send the results of tasks execution to given server.

           If URI doesn't start with http:// or https://, the agent assume the parameter is a
           hostname and rewrite it as:

               % --server=http://servername/ocsinventory

           In general, OCS Inventory server URL have this format:

               http://servername/ocsinventory

           and FusionInventory for GLPI this one:

               http://servername/glpi/plugins/fusioninventory/front/plugin_fusioninventory.communication.php

           Multiple values can be specified, using comma as a separator.

       -l, --local=PATH
           Write the results of tasks execution locally.

           Exact behaviour according to given path:

           •   if PATH is a directory, a file will be created therein

           •   if PATH is a file, it will be used directly

           •   if PATH is '-', STDOUT will be used

           Multiple values can be specified, using comma as a separator.

   Target scheduling options
       --delaytime=LIMIT
           Set an initial delay before the first target, whose value is computed randomly between
           LIMIT / 2 and LIMIT seconds. This setting is ignored for server targets after the
           initial contact, in favor of server-specified parameter (PROLOG_FREQ).

       --lazy
           Do not contact the target before next scheduled time.

           This option is only available when the agent is not run as a server.

   Task selection options
       --list-tasks
           List available tasks and exit

       --no-task=TASK
           Do not run given task.

           Multiple values can be specified, using comma as a separator. See option --list-tasks
           for the list of available tasks.

   Inventory task specific options
       --no-category=CATEGORY
           Do not list given category items in inventory.

           Multiple values can be specified, using comma as a separator. The available categories
           are:

           •   printer

           •   software

           •   environment

           •   process

           •   user

       --scan-homedirs
           Allow the agent to scan home directories for virtual machines.

       --html
           Save the inventory as HTML.

           This is only used for local inventories.

       -f, --force
           Send an inventory to the server, even if this last one doesn't ask for it.

       --backend-collect-timeout=TIME
           Timeout for inventory modules execution.

       --additional-content=FILE
           Additional inventory content file.

           This file should be an XML file, using same syntax as the one produced by the agent.

   Package deployment task specific options
       --no-p2p
           Do not use peer to peer to download files.

   Server target specific options
       -P, --proxy=PROXY
           Use PROXY as HTTP proxy.

           By default, the agent uses HTTP_PROXY environment variable.

       -u USER, --user=USER
           Use USER for server authentication.

       -p, --password=PASSWORD
           Use PASSWORD for server authentication.

       --ca-cert-dir=DIRECTORY
           CA certificates directory.

       --ca-cert-file=FILE
           CA certificates file.

       --no-ssl-check
           Do not check server SSL certificate.

       --timeout=TIME
           Timeout for server connections.

   Web interface options
       --no-httpd
           Disable the embedded web server.

       --httpd-ip=IP
           The network interface to use for the embedded web server (all).

       --httpd-port=PORT
           The network port to use for the embedded web server (62354).

       --httpd-trust=IP
           Trust requests from given addresses without authentication token (false).

           For example: "192.168.0.0/24", "192.168.168.0.5" or an IP range like "20.34.101.207 -
           201.3.9.99". Hostnames are also accepted. See Net::IP documentation to get more
           example.

           Multiple values can be specified, using comma as a separator.

   Logging options
       --logger=BACKEND
           Logger backend to use.

           Multiple values can be specified, using comma as a separator. The available backends
           are:

           •   stderr: log messages directly in the console.

           •   file: log messages in a file.

           •   syslog: log messages through the local syslog server.

           Multiple values can be specified, using comma as a separator.

       --logfile=FILE
           Log message in FILE (implies File logger backend).

       --logfile-maxsize=SIZE
           Max logfile size in MB, default is unlimited. When the max size is reached, the file
           is truncated. This is only useful if there is no log rotation mechanism on the system.

       --logfacility=FACILITY
           Syslog facility to use (default LOG_USER).

       --color
           Display color on the terminal, when the Stderr backend is used.

           This options is ignored on Windows.

   Configuration options
       --config=BACKEND
           Configuration backend to use.

           The available backends are:

           •   file: read configuration from a file (default anywhere else as Windows).

           •   registry: read configuration from the registry (default on Windows).

           •   none: don't read any configuration.

       --conf-file=FILE
           Use FILE as configuration file (implies file configuration backend).

   Execution mode options
       -w LIMIT, --wait=LIMIT
           Wait a random delay whose value is computed randomly between 0 and LIMIT seconds,
           before execution. This is useful when execution is triggered from some kind of system
           scheduling on multiple clients, to spread the server load.

       -d, --daemon
           Run the agent as a daemon.

       --no-fork
           Don't fork in background.

           This is only useful when running as a daemon.

       --tag=TAG
           Add the given tag to every inventory results.

       --debug
           Turn the debug mode on. You can use the parameter up to 3 times in a row to increase
           the verbosity (e.g: --debug --debug).

           Level 3 turns on the debug mode of some external libraries like Net::SSLeay.  These
           messages will only be be printed on STDERR.

       --setup
           Print the agent setup directories and exit.

       --version
           Print the version and exit.
