Introduction

The Software Inventory app analyzes and displays a list of installed applications and services for each resource. This feature enables users to gain insights into the software landscape of their resources, providing valuable information about the applications and services that are installed and running on those resources.

Configuration Parameters

  • Query: Use the query to select the entities that you wish to include in the report.
    • Default query: The default query {state=active AND monitorable=true AND agentInstalled=true} will be populated by default when an asset inventory app opens. User can modify or delete the default query and run a specific query.
    • Using an OpsQL query, you can customize the report result. If users did not select state and monitorable attributes in the query string, the user selection query would be appended by default with state and monitorable attributes.
      For example: If a user only selects the aliasName attribute, the query will automatically append state = “active” AND monitorable = “true”
      The query will look like as below:
      state = "active" AND monitorable = "true" AND (aliasName = "xxxxxx")
  • Select Report Content: User can filter applications and services based on attributes such as application names, service names, vendor, service state/status using Query section.
    The content that is chosen has been added to the report. You can select either from:
    • Application: To generate the report of installed applications of your resources.
    • Services: To generate the report of installed services of your resources.
  • Attributes Selection: Specify the attributes of the selected entities that you wish to include as columns in the report.
    • Default attributes: The default attributes (Id, Resource Name, Make, Type, Native Type) will be populated by default. User can modify/delete the default attributes and select his required attributes to view in the report.
    • Only selected attributes related data will be included in the report. If no attributes are selected, the default attributes data will be included in the report.
    • You can customize the default attributes selection order by using the drag and drop functionality. You are allowed to select a maximum of 25 attributes.
