[rudder-users] Windows agent only for inventory

[Jonathan Clarke]

Dear Fernando,

Sorry for the late reply. It should be possible to just run the 
inventory on your Windows machines, if this is what you need.

To achieve this, you just need to install the FusionInventory agent on 
each Windows machine. This should be called to make an inventory (you 
can have it stored on disk using --local=/some/directory). That (a .ocs 
file, actually containing XML) should be sent to Rudder's inventory 
endpoint (usually something like "curl -f --user login:password -T 
"/some/directory/your-inventory-file.ocs"). The login/password can be 
found in Rudder's configuration file 
(/opt/rudder/etc/rudder-web.properties on the server).

This whole operation could maybe be automated by FusionInventory, and 
configure it to send the XML file directly but I'm not sure about this step.

However, bear in mind that Rudder does not have a concept of "inventory 
only" machines, so will generate CFEngine promises for these machines 
(if you accept them in Rudder) and will show that the compliance is 0% 
because no reports will be coming from them.

Hope this helps!
Jonathan
