Getting Started > Uploading and Reporting

The intention of RayVentory Scan Engine is to gather data. It offers a basic reporting on inventory health and status to assist in managing an inventory campaign. The report Summary of inventory health integrates the inventory wizard to support workflows regarding inventory updates and troubleshooting. The tiles on the report, which show number that represent certain sets of devices, are clickable. When clicked then the inventory wizard will be opened with the respective devices selected.

The devices and service lists offer views on the gathered inventory data including summaries of certain devices or service specific facts.

More in-depth reports that will show discovery and inventory data are available on the RayVentory Server. There are facts shown, that RayVentory Scan Engine will not show in its summaries, for example MS SQL Server instances or data on Oracle Database options.

The data gathered by RayVentory Scan Engine must be uploaded to RayVentory Server in order to fill the discovery and inventory database for reporting.

In the RayVentory Scan Engine settings, the upload endpoints for inventory and (optionally) discovery must be set. Uploading discovery data is needed to see the gap between devices known without inventory data and devices known with inventory data in the reports that the RayVentory Server offers. See SETTINGS > HTTP Services > UPLOAD LOCATION URL to upload inventory files and URL to upload legacy discovery data.

Usually, the URL is of the following form: http://yourRVServerAddress/ManageSoftRL/inventories or http://yourRVServerAddress/ManageSoftRL/discovery.
