Data model for OCS Inventory

This extension is required to use the collector Data collector for OCS Inventory which collects information from an OCS Inventory NG server. It creates these new fields below in existing classes for synchronisation:

• PC:
  • OS comment
  • OS licence
  • OCS id
  • Cvss
• OSLicence:
  • list PC
• Server:
  • OS comment
  • OCS id
  • Cvss
• VirtualMachine:
  • OS comment
  • OCS id
  • Cvss
• MobilePhone:
  • OS family
  • OS version
  • OS comment
  • OCS id
  • Cvss
• Printer:
  • Driver
• Software:
  • Cvss

And it adds 2 new typology type classes that are used for better synchronization with OCS.

• OCSAssetCategory:
  • Label in OCS
  • target class
  • description
• OCSSoftwareCategory:
  • Label in OCS
  • Type

In the synchronized object (Server, PC, Mobile Phone or Virtual Machine), it creates a link to the corresponding OCS inventory object and opens it in a new tab.

• PHP Version 7.2.0
• The extension Data collector for OCS Inventory installed and working on your iTop

Use the Standard installation process for this extension.

• Go to the extensions store on iTop Hub
• Click on the shopping cart icon to purchase the extension and follow the on-screen instructions to deploy it to your iTop instance.

• unzip the file “itop-ocsng.zip” in the iTop extensions folder
• ensure that the web server process has sufficient rights to read the copied files
• Launch iTop setup
• Select the OCS Inventory Integration extension, when prompted

• Edit the iTop configuration file to specify the URL to access the OCS web server:

      'itop-ocsng' => array (
                'ocsng_url' => 'http://localhost/ocsreports/',
        ),

• For a shortcut button add ‘UI:Menu:New,OCS_Inventory' to the list of shortcut actions (param 'shortcut_actions'): (since iTop 3.0)

      // shortcut_actions: Actions that are available as direct buttons next to the "Actions" menu
        // default: 'UI:Menu:Modify,UI:Menu:New'
        'shortcut_actions' => 'UI:Menu:Modify,UI:Menu:New,OCS_Inventory',

• Cvss

Cvss fields are hidden. If you have configured cve in OCS inventory, you can display this field on the screens, otherwise it is not necessary, as it will always be empty.

In order to use asset categories in synchronisation, you need to configure these categories in both OCS and iTop. For OCS use ocs wiki for asset categories to create your categories. Then enter these categories into iTop through the typology configuration menu.

Create an asset category with name of the different categories created in OCS and the corresponding class in iTop. To help you, you can synchronise the names of the asset categories. After synchronisation, all you have to do is select the target class.

The same process is used for software (cf OCS documentation ocs wiki for software categories)

When an asset is synchronised with OCS, an OCS button is displayed with a direct link to the corresponding OCS inventory page and opens it in new tab.
