How to customize OCSNG and GLPI

Using work through customized scripts or applications is smart approach by System Administrators. For a busy system administrator to collect all the h/w and s/w information from the network is really tedious. For this work there fantastic open source tool named “OCS Inventory NG” which would collect all the h/w and s/w information from the network. But the web interface of OCS (where all the information about networked machines are visualized) is not much user friendly, rather confusing.

However, there is another open source application called GLPI, having a cool interface with capability to import & synchronize records from OCS.

For importing records from OCS to GLPI you have to use a plug-in in GLPI named OCS import and this plug-in manages the whole OCS synchronization process. To use OCS Import effectively, one need to make sure that the OCS mode is operational.

Here are the simple steps for the synchronization process:

Activate OCSNG mode in GLPI:

  • Click on Setup; then select General-Restrictions [Tab]-Activate OCSNG mode – Set to YES and then click on Post.

To add custom fields to GLPI we need another plug-in named Custom Fields. It can be found in the Plug-in folder of GLPI archive.

  • Now to add fields click on the ‘Manage Custom Dropdowns‘ below the device list.

Suppose you want to add a custom filed named ‘Assigned to’ in the device Computers. Then first you need to enable the device Computers in Manage Custom Fields.

KurrentJobs.com – A Better Choice for Technical Recruiters

The Start-up trend is rising in the webosphere. Inspired from companies like Facebook, Foursquare and Instagram, many people are willing to implement their ideas as start-ups. As your start-up company grows you need right people to do your jobs and that’s what most of the recruiters are tired about. There are many information technology job portals on the web featuring start-up jobs, but they still got hung around with some loop holes. We had gone through some start-up job posting sites in the past few months and found that:

Most of the job sites-

  •     Ask for registration by filling out long forms, we bet, you shy away from this!
  •     Limited to major countries (like UK, USA etc.)
  •     Confused over jobs, news, companies and widgets
  •     Limited or no free job posting allowed (some charges between 99 to 400 USD per job)
  •     Don’t come up with job types
  •     Don’t support social login with Facebook or Twitter
  •     Somewhat biased to either employers or candidates
