Action: Change the inventory-scanner-options zmd setting to a particular
hardware component. This option is passed to the hardware scanner, 'hwinfo -
-all', to control the probing of specific hardware components.
For example, hwprobe=inventory-scanner-options hwinfo --all.
For more information, see the hwinfo readme located in /usr/share/doc/
packages/hwinfo.

Action: The inventory delayed schedules for a registered device is affected when you
change the zmd setting, delay. The default value is 900. The random delayed
schedules to update inventory at the server are created using the delay setting.
The new delay settings affect the next random delayed schedule only after the
next refresh schedule.
All delayed schedules for inventory are added during the device registration
and subsequently, when refresh schedules are triggered. The "Software
Inventory delay" schedule is added to update inventory when packages are
installed or removed on a client.
