Struggling to configure remote agent

Good morning gentlemen,
I've been trying to configure network discovery and SNMP inventory done by a remote agent for a long time, but without success.
As you can see, my remote agent can connect via SNMP to network devices, but the results are not sent to the GLPI server.
Here's the summary of my environment, and what I've tried so far:
I have a server with Ubuntu 22.04.2 running GLPI in version 10.0.8, in a DMZ, I want to use my zabbix server that already has its ip and community configured as read only for all my network devices.

GLPI Server config:

root@glpi:/home/administrator# glpi-remote list targets
id        type      url/path                                     maxdelay  Next run date
listener  listener                                               3600      Fri Jul 28 17:48:28 2023
local0    local     inventory                                    3600      Fri Jul 28 11:04:20 2023
server0   server    https://glpi/front/inventory.php  7200      Mon Aug  7 10:56:00 2023
root@glpi:/home/administrator# glpi-remote list
index  deviceid                        url                       target   Next run date
1  srv-zabbix-2023-08-02-09-36-00  ssh://root@172.16.100.47  server0  on next agent run

Re: Struggling to configure remote agent

Hello fvilaca,

I see few problems in your setup:
1. you need glpi-inventory plugin installed in glpi to create netdiscovery & netinventory tasks
2. when using glpi-inventory plugin, you need to update the defined "server" parameter following the documentation here: https://glpi-agent.readthedocs.io/en/la … tml#server
     Formerly, you'll have to use as url something like:

https://glpi/marketplace/glpiinventory/

3. It seems you're defined "tasks" parameter with "inventory,deploy,inventory"... "netdiscovery" & "netinventory" are missing. If you want to enable the tasks add them or add ",..." to enable all remaining available tasks as explained in documentation: https://glpi-agent.readthedocs.io/en/la … html#tasks
