Device Group Inventory

Device Group Inventory

The different types of inventory are also available for the device groups, offering an overview over a specific part of your network, such as the Anti-virus situation of your laptops or the current situation about the RAM of the computers in your development department. The inventory is accessible via the Inventory node below the respective device group.

Purge - Inventory Manager

All other inventory types can be purged. All inventory data will be deleted in this case. This operation is also taken into account by the Inventory license which will then be incremented again. If the device for which the inventory is purged does not have a CM agent installed, that is, it is of topology type Scanned Device , not only the inventory will be purged but the device itself will be deleted from the CM database. To purge a device and all its connected data from the database, proceed as follows:

  1. Select the inventory to purge from the list in the left window pane.
  2. Select the Edit > Purge trash.png.
     A confirmation window appears.
  3. Click Yes to confirm and delete all hardware inventory data.
