...boh, i think it depend; if your goal is to provide a valud URL,
probably http://`hostname -f`:62354 is a better alternative.
But if the goal is only to provide feedback that internal HTTPD server
was started, a simpler 'HTTPD service started on port 62354' will
suffices.

Sorry, i was late and i was really unclear.
I meant that manual run works, but if i create a task and run it
(manuial start) task run, complete but provide no data. Sorry.

A-HA! I'm starting to understand how Fi works... i try to summarize.

1) we need to add to GLPI a network device (or a printer), add some
 info like IP addesses (i think needed to have some IP to scan, right?)
and in 'FI SNMP' tab associate it to the right SNMP auth schema.
Probably this task can be done automagically with network discovery.

2) we can check SNMP inventory doing a ''manual'' scan, eg running:
	fusioninventory-netinventory --verbose --credentials version:2c,community:public --host m110-1
 so we can look ad the data the task will get from the device.

3) then we have to create a task (clearly, set to active) in the
 actions we have to specify the module used (SNMP inventory), specify
an actor (a host that have FI agent running as a daemon) and one or
more target.

When the task run (scheduled or manually forced) GLPI contact the
agent/actor and run the actions specified.

No, i've binded the targets to the correct SNMP auth and now:

note that i've defined 4 targets, but effectively one of the target have
no IP defined. After that, i've redefined the task, using instead of
one action with 4 target, 4 actions with one target each.
