Metering is available for Software Catalog applications only. Metering is not available for applications that appear on the Software page.

For information about enabling metering, see About metering information.

Schedule metering and inventory collection intervals

Metering and inventory collection intervals determine the frequency with which metering and inventory information is collected from managed devices. If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, you can schedule the metering and inventory collection intervals separately for each organization.

1.
Do one of the following:
◦
If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, log in to the appliance System Administration Console, https://appliance_hostname/system, or select System in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information. Then click Organizations. To display the organization’s information, click the organization’s name.

On the Organization Detail page that appears, locate the Communication and Agent Settings section.

◦
If the Organization component is not enabled on your appliance, log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Then select Settings > Provisioning., and click Communication Settings on the Provisioning panel.

The Communication Settings page appears.

2.
In the Agent and Communication Settings section, specify the following settings:

If disk space is not an issue, enable Agent Logging to keep all log information for Agent-managed devices. These logs can be useful during troubleshooting. To save disk space, and enable faster Agent communication, disable Agent Logging.

Agent Inventory

The frequency at which Agents on managed devices report inventory. This information is displayed in the Inventory section.

Agentless Inventory

1 Day

The frequency at which Agentless devices report inventory. This information is displayed in the Inventory section.

Catalog Inventory

The frequency at which managed devices report inventory to the Software Catalog page.

Metering

4 hours

The frequency at which managed devices report metering information to the appliance. Requires metering to be enabled on devices and applications.

Scripting Update

4 hours

The frequency at which Agents on managed devices request updated copies of scripts that are enabled on managed devices. This interval does not affect how often scripts run.
