Collection Modules

Asset management ships with two types of collection modules—Inventory Detection Modules and Inventory Template Modules.

The Inventory Detection Modules contain the specifications for collecting the hardware inventory information. The Inventory Template Modules define the information to be collected from a .MIF file.

These modules are available under Control Panel, Configuration, Collection Modules in the DSM Explorer.

Note: The templates scheduled for a user are executed when a particular user logs in to the asset and those scheduled for a computer are executed with the Local System account (Windows) or root (Linux/UNIX) depending on their scheduled settings.
