This view aggregates discovery and inventory data of your devices.

 

 

The view is divided into three parts:

 

•Toolbar - showing buttons to perform quick operations like adding, editing, and removing entries.

•Main grid - showing the list of all saved devices (physical and virtual).

•Sidebar - showing the details of the current selection, including inventory data if available.

 

Columns

The grid supports a predefined set of columns, only some of which are visible by default. It is possible to select more columns by pressing the Column chooser button in the grid toolbar. The following columns are available:

 

•Type - The device family (Windows / Unix / Unknown). This determines the inventory methods available for each device.

•Hostname - Either the DNS hostname of a device or it is empty if no name has been configured (in that case the IP address will be non-empty).

•IP Address - Either the IP address of a device or it is empty if the IP address is resolved automatically from the DNS name.

•Status - The inventory status. There are three possible values:

on/a - The device has not been inventoried yet

oOK - The device has been inventoried and returned some results

oIn any other case, the column Status contains a short description of the most recent issue

•Discovery source - A text value determining the import source (for example Discovery AD-import or Discovery ping-sweep). Manually added devices have an empty value in this column.

•Last inventory attempt - The last time the inventory has been started (whether successful or not).

•Credentials - The logical names of credentials used when scanning this device.

oZT = Zero-Touch

oFS = Access to File System

oSMB = Upload to SMB Shares

oWMI = Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Queries

oWSM = Windows Service Manager
