Features available to Agentless devices differ from those features available to Agent-managed devices. See Features available for each device management method.
You can enable Agentless management using Discovery information.
1. |
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. |

: Agentless management is enabled for the device. : Agentless management is enabled for the device, but the device is not currently reachable. |
Depending on the device, the appliance uses various connection types to run commands on the selected devices, obtain inventory information, and display that information on the Device Detail page. Information is updated according to the inventory schedule for Agentless devices. See:
You can enable Agentless management by entering device information manually.

SNMP scan results include all SNMP capable devices. Remote shell extensions enable the appliance to connect, run commands, and capture information that can be managed as inventory. For more information about SNMP options, see Add a Discovery Schedule for SNMP-enabled non-computer devices. | |||||||
(SNMP v1, SNMP v2c) The community string to query. The default is Public. The Public String is required if authentication is not required. When authentication is required, the scan returns SNMP enabled with no system data. | |||||||

| |||||||
The level of information to display on the Device Detail page. To see only the most important messages, select Critical. To see all messages, select Debug. | |||||||
The name of the device that you want to use as a relay for agentless device inventory. A relay device that is used during discovery as a relay is used for agentless inventory, when a new device is provisioned automatically from discovery results. You can select a relay device on the Discovery Schedule Detail page. For more information, see Add a Discovery Schedule to perform a quick "what and where" scan of your network. |
The asset subcategory, if applicable. This information enables you to identify and manage subtypes of assets, such as Device assets that are computers, printers, or routers, and Software assets that run on Windows, Mac, or Linux systems in the inventory.

Select this option to allow the appliance to import a Microsoft Hyper-V or System Center Virtual Machine Manager infrastructure using agentless management. For more information about this feature, see Add a Discovery Schedule for a Microsoft Hyper-V or System Center Virtual Machine Manager. | |||
The name of the device that you want to use as a relay for agentless device inventory. A relay device that is used during discovery as a relay is used for agentless inventory, when a new device is provisioned automatically from discovery results. You can select a relay device on the Discovery Schedule Detail page. For more information, see Add a Discovery Schedule to perform a quick "what and where" scan of your network. |
The host name or IP address of the ESXi host or the vCenter Server. | |||
The asset subcategory, if applicable. This information enables you to identify and manage subtypes of assets, such as VMware devices. For example, hypervisors (ESXi hosts). See About Asset Subtypes, custom fields, and device detail preferences. | |||
The connection method to use to connect to the VMware device and obtain inventory information. | |||
The VMware device type: ESXi or vCenter Server. | |||
The details of the service account required to connect to the device and run commands. Select existing credentials from the drop-down list, or select Add new credential to add credentials not already listed. An account with read-only access can be used.

SNMP is one of the possible methods that appliance Agentless Inventory uses to extract data for inventory and integration into the appliance. The appliance uses the RFC1213 MIB (Management Information Base) as the primary data gathering layer, because it contains data that is specific to all SNMP-capable devices. All SNMP-capable devices expose RFC1213 data. For more information, go to http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1213.

The SNMP Inventory Configurations list page provides you with the tool to create new mappings or manage existing ones.
After you have determined the OID data you want to collect, you select a subtype for the device from categories that are the same as those on the Device Detail page. You then select a property of that category, the result of which maps the OID to a field in the inventory table. The SNMP object appears in the device inventory after the next scan.
For example, if you had a printer in inventory, added manually or through a discovery schedule, you could use an SNMP Inventory Configuration to have the printer report cartridge ink levels to the appliance. In this case, you would use an Asset Subtype of Printer that you have created as a subtype of device, with a field named Toner Level.

The SNMP Inventory Configurations list page displays the available printer templates. When you apply a printer template to a device, the data defined in the template, such as toner levels or descriptions, is collected for the printer in the next inventory cycle.
You can edit or create these templates, as needed. To create or edit a printer template, you must have the relevant SNMP OIDs (Object Identifiers) for the fields that exist as the associated Asset Subtypes. The appliance comes with two Asset Subtypes that capture printer-specific fields such as toner levels: Laser Printer: Color and Laser Printer: Monochrome. For more information about mapping OIDs, see Map Object Identifiers to fields in the inventory table. For details about Asset Subtypes and to find out how they relate to SNMP configurations, see About Asset Subtypes, custom fields, and device detail preferences.
