Synchronize WAPT Inventories with GLPI

Overview

WAPT Enterprise allows seamless synchronization between your device inventories and GLPI, an IT Service Management (ITSM) solution.

This feature automatically syncs changes in your IT assets with the GLPI server.

WAPT supports synchronization with:

• GLPI 10 using the built-in native JSON API.
• GLPI 9.x using the FusionInventory plugin with XML format.

⚠️ Important Notes ⚠️

• GLPI synchronization via WAPT is not compatible with Kerberos authentication. If your GLPI instance uses Kerberos, be sure to exclude glpi/plugins/fusioninventory/ from Nginx authentication.
• If the GLPI server fails to receive full inventory data, install the package tis-audit-glpi-inventory on client machines to generate an official GLPI-compliant inventory.

Required Dependencies

For GLPI 9.x, install the FusionInventory plugin on your GLPI server to receive inventory data.

Refer to the official FusionInventory installation guide.

After installation, an endpoint will be available to receive inventories, for example:

http://glpi.mydomain.lan/glpi/plugins/fusioninventory/

Configuring the WAPT Agent and Sync Package

Install and configure the WAPT Agent on the machine that will handle the synchronization.

If you prefer to run synchronization from the WAPT server itself, simply configure the agent on that server.

Step 1: Install the appropriate sync package

Install the package tis-glpi-plugin-export-to-glpi9

This package will create two configuration files in the WAPT installation directory:

• Linux: /opt/wapt/private
• Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\private

Step 2: Configure the files

glpi.ini

[glpi]
username = glpi
password = xxxxxxx
url = http://glpi.mydomain.lan/glpi/plugins/fusioninventory/

Ensure inventory processing is enabled in GLPI.

wapt_api.ini

[wapt]
username = waptregister
password = waptregister2023!
url = https://srvwapt.ad.tranquil.it

Testing the Configuration

To verify the setup, trigger an audit manually using:

wapt-get audit tis-glpi-plugin-export-to-glpi9
