    IT inventory

    Have been asked by my boss to prepare an IT inventory interface or software or even spreadsheet to record all our IT equipment. I created an excel for this from microsoft and all is fine. But some of my superior heavily use linux and they now want me to come up with another kind of interface or software ideally web-based or some kind of interpreter to interpret or translate the excel i created from microsoft to linux compatible. Ps guys i knowthis is a bit of a mouthful BUT I NEED HELP AND NOW

    Have them install Open Office. It will be able to read/write to those excel files.

    RackTables works quite well.

    As a webtool, it is OS agnostic.
    Also, it can tell what is connected to what: for example NIC1 of server A is connected to port 21 of switch B

    On the dark side:
    - it needs some time to get used to its logic
    - the more information you put into it (like the mentioned connection documentation) the more effort is it to keep it sane
    You must always face the curtain with a bow.

    Hi.

    I noticed this in a Debian repository, but it has a home page that you can peruse. It appears to be current.

    It looks very complete, but of course that probably means complicated. I have no experience with it, I track hardware and software with utilities and package managers.

    Best wishes ... cheers, drl
