Running a targeted software inventory
Running the detailed file inventory task finds out which file resources in the CMDB
have basic information. Then it also finds out which of computers it can get the
detailed file information for. During the next software scan, the detailed
information about the file resources is sent back to the CMDB.
You can use the predefined Detailed File Inventory Task that is scheduled to run
weekly the first day of every week.
You can view the executed detailed file inventory client tasks. This ability is
important because there is a possibility that a target computer may be offline. As
a result, the detailed file inventory task can t run. To find out whether detail file
inventory client task is ran successfully, look under Task status on the task page.
The currently executed task is prefixed with the date and time at which the client
task is run.
You should review the lists of includes and excludes in the task's File Properties
Scan Settings (advanced options). Otherwise, you may unintentionally exclude
applications.
