What is it?

GLPI (Gestionnaire Libre de Parc Informatique) is a web-based package for tracking IT assets such as computers, peripherals, network printers and their components. It keeps a configuration database that can be updated through native dynamic inventory from version 10 onward.

On the service side, GLPI provides ITIL-oriented modules for incidents, problems, requests, changes, a knowledge base and FAQ, and a service catalog. It also covers contracts, purchase and warranty information, software and license tracking with auditing, asset reservations, impact analysis, and data center infrastructure management with rack layouts.

GLPI is written in PHP and runs on a standard web server with MariaDB or MySQL. Its functionality can be extended through a plugin ecosystem and a marketplace.
