Status of RTx::AssetTracker

RT Users

We are/where looking for a way to use RT as an asset manager as well,
when I stumbled on RTx::AssetTracker. But the site seems to have
disappeared. (Last entry in the InternetArchive has Mar. 13th)

I was wondering if anyone here could tell me about the status of
AssetTracker. And if AssetTracker is dead/bad idea can anyone tell me
if they are currently using RT in an Asset tracking mode. How do you
have it set? Custom fields etc.

Any and all thoughts and ideas would be appreciated.

Todd Chapman maintains Asset Tracker and lurks on these lists. I believe
that the wiki site for AT is on a personal machine of his so it’s not
reliably up and it’s been wiki-spammed a few times. I think he switched
jobs recently so there hasn’t been an update in a year or so. But we sed
AT 1.2.3 a great deal and it’s excellent. It integrates with RT very
tightly and we’re using it to manage all assets, build config files for
services, and much more. You basically have to define your data schema
for asset types (read, custom fields) and then it’s all visible in the
RT GUI. I wrote a REST extension so that you can view/modify assets just
like tickets over raw http or using the “rt” command-line. This will
probably be incorporated into the next AT version to be released.

AT is not dead but the wiki and mailing list are currently down.
Svn too.

Hi,

We use AT with older version of RT (3.4.5). Does anyone use it with RT
3.6? Does it work with the most recent RT?

I’d be more interested where to get Asset-Tracker these days.
The atwiki.chaka.net page is gone.

cheers,

Hi Todd

Seems to be a few people keen to get hold of AT including ourselves. We
are will be happy to give you some free web hosting / domain name if
that will help get it back online?

Many thanks

Thanks for the offer. I have new hosting but not the
time to get things in place. I’ll see what I can do
this week.
