You can add devices to inventory manually, either within the Administrator Console or by using the inventory API (application programming interface).
To add devices to the K1000 inventory, you can:
• |
Install the K1000 Agent on devices. Devices are automatically added to inventory after the Agent is installed on them and the Agent reports inventory to the K1000. See Provisioning the K1000 Agent. |
• |
Enable Agentless management for devices. Agentless management is especially useful for devices that cannot have the K1000 Agent installed, such as devices with unsupported operating systems. See Managing Agentless devices. |
• |
For information about the K1000 features available to devices, see Features available for each device management method.
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.
You can add devices to the K1000 inventory manually by entering device information on the Device Detail page.
