Add possibility to extend inventory in Rudder with scripts on the client side

[ncharles]

The goal is to add an extra tag in the inventory, in RUDDER/CUSTOM_PROPERTIES , that would contain all the JSON outputed by scripts existing in 'C:\Program Files\Rudder\hooks.d' or '/var/rudder/hooks.d'
Script needs to be executable, and will be executed in alphanumerical order
JSON needs to be valid

I don't know if it's really related to your issue, but I'm thinking to enhance Collect task to support JSON file parsing to permit collecting specific data from a well-known JSON file. From the FusionInventory plugin view you'll have the possibility to create Collect job like it's actually done to query win32 registry specifying a path, a hive and value name.

Regarding your issue, this can't replace the fact of collecting ALL the Rudder custom properties placing them in the RUDDER XML namespace. I even don't know if Rudder has the feature to push Collect tasks toward the agent. But it could be a simple helper to collect Rudder custom properties also in GLPI.
