About inventory information

About inventory information

Inventory includes information about the devices, applications, processes, startup programs, and services on managed devices on your network.

Inventory is:

•
Collected by the KACE Agent, which is installed on managed devices
•
Uploaded using the inventory API
•
Obtained through connections to Agentless devices

You can view detailed data about individual managed devices, as well as aggregated data collected across all managed devices. In addition, you can use inventory information in reports, and in decisions about upgrades, troubleshooting, purchasing, policies, and so on.

This section focuses on device inventory. For information about other inventory items, see:

•
Managing applications on the Software page
•
Managing Software Catalog inventory
•
Managing process, startup program, and service inventory

Tracking changes to inventory settings

Tracking changes to inventory settings

If History subscriptions are configured to retain information, you can view the details of the changes made to settings, assets, and objects.

This information includes the date the change was made and the user who made the change, which can be useful during troubleshooting. See About history settings.

About inventory change history

Change history for devices begins when there is a change to the information collected during the first report.

The first time a managed device reports inventory to the appliance, the information is considered to be a baseline report. As such, it is not recorded in the change history.

To manage inventory information, you can add custom data fields, view devices in inventory, and view device details.

Add custom data fields

Add custom data fields

You can add custom data fields for applications added manually from the Software list.

Adding custom data fields enables you to obtain information from the registry and elsewhere on the device. This information can be viewed on the device detail page and used in reports.

For example, you might want to add custom fields to obtain the DAT file version number from the registry, the file created date, the file publisher, or other data for a device. You could then create labels based on this information to group similar devices, or create reports using this information.

1.
Go to the Software list:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Inventory, then click Software.
2.
Select Choose Action > New.
3.
Enter values in the Name, Version, and Publisher fields.
This information is used to identify the custom data field on detail pages.
4.
In the Custom Inventory Rule field, enter the appropriate syntax for the information you want returned:
◦
To return a Registry Value, enter the following, replacing valueType with either TEXT, NUMBER, or DATE. NUMBER is an integer value: RegistryValueReturn(string absPathToKey, string valueName, string valueType)

Example: RegistryValueReturn(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\McAfee.com\Virusscan Online,SourceDisk, TEXT)

◦
On Windows, Mac, and Linux devices, you can retrieve the following attributes from the stat() function:

access_time, creation_time, modification_time, block_size, blocks, size, device_id, group, inode, mode, number_links, owner, device_number

◦
On Windows devices, you can retrieve the following attributes from the VerQueryValue() function:

FileName, Comments, CompanyName, FileDescription, FileVersion, InternalName, LegalCopyright, LegalTrademarks, OriginalFilename, ProductName, ProductVersion, PrivateBuild, SpecialBuild, AccessedDate, CreatedDate, ModifiedDate

5.
