Hey all, honestly i do not see the point in pumping up OTRS with an asset management plugin as this topic is quite complex. If you take a look at a global market for ticket and asset tools, you will realize that if a tool combines both features it is either: - lacking basic functions of either

Yeah; this is a valid point: you really should control the changes done to your CMDB. That said, auto-populating and/or updating the CMDB with a discovery tool should not lead to an out-of-control configuration management process per se. The problem is that you would NOT want to populate and/or m

Agreed. We use nmap2mysql to build initial databases, then selectively import into the CMDB. The next evolutionary step would be an OTRS CMDB client agent. On Wed, Apr 27, 2011 at 2:50 PM, Leonardo Certuche < leonardo.certu...@itconsultores.com.co> wrote: > Hello, > > We happen to be partners o

Hello, We happen to be partners of both OTRS and OCS Inventory. Please keep in mind that auto-populating your CMDB using a discovery tool will lead to an out of control configuration management process. What we do is the following: we get the inventory from OCS, export it to CSV, and then import
