Collecting Agent Inventory Dates

The information collected by the asset management agent includes the delivery date and creation date of the software signature file used by the asset management software scanner. The System Status pane displays these inventory items for an asset. The names of the items are:

Software Signature File Creation Date

Identifies the date and time when the signature file was created by the engine and was ready for distribution to the scalability servers.

Software Signature File Delivery Date

Identifies the date and time when the signature file was delivered to the target computer.

You can include these inventory items as part of query definitions in Client Automation.

Note: The signature creation date is not available until the engine has created a signature that has been downloaded by the agent. This action does not occur if content distribution has been disabled in the collect task.
