[Fusioninventory-devel] Getting started...

[Cajus Pollmeier]

Hiho!

Beeing freshly subscribed to the fusioninventory mailinglist, let me introduce 
myself: I'm Cajus, being responsible for most of the stuff happening around 
GOsa (http://www.gosa-project.org).

While there has been some support for the GLPI project in older versions of 
GOsa, it has been dropped some years ago, because it had to be massively 
polished to work with current versions of GLPI and there were no resources for 
that. Now - while rewriting some core code - it is time to get back with 
inventory. Indirectly.

I've some different architecture here and would like to ask if (and how) it's 
possible, to adapt (make a module, what ever) the server/client side to fit the 
needs. Here's how it goes:

Similar to d-bus, which is used on most linux systems in some way, I've a 
network bus, where you can post events. Subscribers can get the events they 
want to get a notification for.

OCS or GLPI would be subscribers for "fusioninventory/(ocs|glpi|*)" events on 
this bus or may trigger commands using their native XML if they want to. The 
fusioninventory agent does not contact OCS/GLPI/* directly. It just sends the 
events to the bus, while the appropriate component catches the event and does 
something with it.

Is it possible to integrate fusioninventory that way? I mean - not sending to 
different instances of various servers, but sending named events with payload 
to a unique bus, and using an bus2ocs agent to get it processed?

Thanks!
Cajus
