Overview

Open-AudIT is an open source network discovery and IT asset management (ITAM/CMDB) application from FirstWave. Point it at a network and it finds what is there - servers, desktops and laptops, switches and routers, firewalls, printers, storage, virtual machines and cloud assets - and for each device it collects a detailed inventory of hardware, installed software, operating system, network configuration, services and users. It tracks how all of that changes over time, so infrastructure, security and audit teams keep an accurate, current picture of the estate with an audit trail of what changed and when. Discovery is agentless, using nmap, SNMP, SSH and Windows fingerprinting, and the results feed a queryable CMDB and a large library of built-in reports.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg ships the full Open-AudIT Community application assembled and hardened, served by Apache and PHP 8.3 with MariaDB and the discovery toolchain already wired together, so a working discovery and inventory instance answers within minutes of launch. There is no shared credential in the image: it carries no database schema at all, so the documented default administrator account (admin / password) does not exist in the image, and the configuration carries no working database password. On first boot each instance mints its own database password and administrator password, loads the schema, rotates the seeded administrator to that per instance password and writes the credentials to a root only file, with the web server gated behind a bootstrap marker so an unprovisioned instance - and any setup page - is never reachable. The Community edition is fully functional with no paid licence key. Every deployment is paired with a step by step guide and backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.

Common uses

  • Discovering and inventorying every device on a network
  • Maintaining a queryable CMDB of hardware, software and configuration
  • Tracking asset change over time and reporting for audits
