ubuntu glpi及plugin install

GLPI是一个不仅仅是一个优秀的资产和服务台管理软件，还可以帮助企业部份实现ITIL，网上找的资料多是一些如何安装的。对于企业的IT部管理人员来，不仅仅是安装好软件就完了，更重要的是如何有效的使用软件来达到你的管理目的。在我们公司我主要使用它配置OCS来来管理软件、硬件资产、对IT部门的绩效评分，提高IT部门的满意度等。 另：OCS来发现网络设备、发布、部署软件等功能

这节将帮助你开始快速的设置GLPI

I)  用户

GLPI安装好后系统已经自动帮助你建立了几个默认的用户。我推荐你马上修改这些用户然后增加一些需要连接到GLPI的用户

1、操作方法：进入“管理”菜单然后点击“用户”子菜单，点增加新用户并输入此用户的一些基本信息。

"Post-only"用户组能够通过服务台接口提交单据。

"Normal"用户能够在只读权限下访问资产信息，此组的用户不能修改或增加任何数据。

"admin"用户拥有“normal”用户组的权限，但是他们可以增加、修改和删除数据。该类型的用户一般情况是分配给使用GLPI做为日常工作的技术员。

"super-admin" 组的用户拥有“admin”组的所有权限，访组的用户还可以修改GLPI，备份、恢复数据库等权限。它一般情况下是分配给“IT经理”或GLPI程序管理员。

II) Collect data  收集数据

在开始录入资产之前你必须提供一些关于该资产的资料。

1、技术资料： 资产情况、软件信息、网络信息

2、资产的财务信息和业务信息：采购价格、购买日期、首次使用日期等等。

3、商业信息：                供应商（地址等）、生产厂家

III)基础资料字段设置

你必须对GLPI中的“基础资料”进行一些设置才能使用。该菜单可以在“管理”--“配置”--》“名称”找到。它是根据字段的含义来设置的

地点可以设置为：“业务部”，“子公司的地点” 设备类型可以设置为工作站、笔记本、苹果电脑、服务器等。

IV) 公司设置：

你必须先为你的供货商建立一个公司对像，然后才能操作它所提供产品的一些属性。它可以在“管理”菜单下设置：   1、公司---》增加一个新的公司名

V) 模板：

建立模板可以避免重复的录入软件、配件信息。它一般用在同类型的资产上。请不要忘记准备每个资产项的信息（位置、型号、技术负责人、操作系统、供货商等等）

下面是一个资产管理菜单中计算机的模板的示例。 选择“计算机”--》“管理模块”---》“增加模板”--》输入模板的名称--》输入你之前收集到的相关信息。

VI) Inventory  资产（管理）

现在你可以输入你的设备数据。你也可以使用模板来更快的完成此项工作。你也可以安装OCSInventory资产管理软件来收集资产信息，它可以自动收集、更新你的电脑硬件配置和电脑上已安装软件的信息到GLPI中。如果你想使用OCSInventory来更进一步的管理设备的生命周期，请参考OCSNG-FAQ中的“this equipment life cycle”文章

下面怎么安装GLPI:

GLPI stands for “Gestionnaire libre de parc informatique”, GLPI is the Information Resource Manager with an additional Administration- Interface. You can use it to build up a database with an inventory for your company (computer, software, printers…). It has enhanced functions to make the daily life for the administrators easier, like a job tracking system with mail-notification and methods to build a database with basic information about your network-topology.

GLPI Plugins

Add simply and easily new functionalities to GLPI using plugins.

The plugins need to be uncompress and copy in the “plugins” directory of your GLPI
installation. Each plugin is contained in a repertory

Download GLPI Plugins from here

安装GLPI插件：

Back up the GLPI database.

• Download the plugin from the GLPI plugins.
• Uncompress the file using “tar -xzvf < pluginfile.tar.gz>”. The plugin contents will be uncompressed in a subdirectory < pluginname>.
• Copy or move the uncompressed directory in the “ plugins” directory of your GLPI root (e.g. /var/www/ glpi/ plugins).
  • If you move the directory, remember that you probably will have to take care of the permissions using chmod - your Apache user will need at least to be able to “read” and “execute” the directory and its contents. Plugin functionality and “un install” routines might require write access to the directory.
  • Important: Do not change the original name of the directory, otherwise, you may break plugin functionality.
  • If you want to change the display name of the plugin, you might modify the corresponding entry in the language locale file contained within the plugin directory.
• Log off from GLPI and log in again.
• Select Setup and Plugins.
• You will see a option “Select a plugin to configure”, below it you should see the plugin you just installed. Click on the name of the plugin to start it.
  • If the plugin needs to modify the GLPI database, some preliminary installation will be initiated once you start it the first time. Once this one done, you will be redirected towards the configuration of the plugin.
• Some plugins do have configuration options which may need to be set to fit your environment. Use the Plugin Configuration Page (“Administration” - “Setup” - “ Plugins” - < Plugin Name>) to change these options.
• Your plugin is ready for use.

Enjoy

) Update of an existingplugin

The update procedure is basically the same as the initial installation, but you should take some additional precautions so you can revert to the old version in case of a setup failure:

• Back up the GLPI database or at least the database tables which are created by the plugin. Typically, the tables affected are listed in the file readme.txt that comes with each plugin and can be found in the plugin directory (e.g. /var/www/ glpi/ plugins/< pluginName>)
• Move the old plugin directory outside the plugin directory (e.g. using “mv /var/www/ glpi/ plugins/< pluginName> /var/www/ glpi/ plugins_old/< pluginName>”)

After that, you can proceed with the installation instructions given in Section a)

c) Removal

• Back up the GLPI database.
• Go on the setup of the plugin (Administration - Setup - Plugins - “Name of the plugin”).
• Click on Un installation of the plugin.
  • Warning : all the data related to the plugin will be removed.
