Inventory Collector

The Inventory Collector monitor collects the basic machine information that is shown in the System Details box on the Server Status Report. Most of the collected information does not change often, so the monitor defaults to running every few hours.

To configure the monitor, indicate what techniques should be used to collect inventory information. The available techniques are based on the server type of the target device. Selecting the inventory technique is as simple as checking the available box(es). (Note that some products will have different sets of check boxes available)
