In this guide, we are going to learn how to install OCS-NG Inventory on CentOS 8 Stream.\u00a0OCS (Open Computer and Software) Inventory Next Generation<\/a>\u00a0is an opensource tool that is used to inventory IT assets. It collects information about the hardware and software of networked machines running the OCS client program (“OCS Inventory Agent”). OCS can be used to visualize the inventory through a web interface. It is deployed in a agent-server architecture where an OCS NG agent is installed on an asset to be inventoried to collect the information about that asset. In cases where an agent cannot be installed like in routers, switches, SNMP polling can be used to collect asset information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
