# Assets

The GLPI Asset module is used to manage all the assets that are part of your IT infrastructure, whether they have been added manually or brought up by automatic inventory

## Asset management in GLPI

In order to manage hardwares and software of an IT infrastructure, GLPI allows natively to list all the assets that are used inside the managed organization.

However, it is possible to automate information pushing from the assets thanks to the native inventory and GLPI Agent.

More information on the GLPI Agent can be found in its dedicated [documentation](https://github.com/glpi-network/gitbook/tree/main/manual/modules/assets/broken-reference/README.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
if you were using Fusion Inventory on your previous versions, this plugin is no longer supported. We advise you to install the GLPI Inventory plugin for tasks such as deploying packages, SNMP inventory and data collection, or to use GLPI's native inventory for simple reporting of your equipment.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.glpi-project.org/documentation/modules/assets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
