Collecting Unknown Software

By default, a software discovery collect task performs a signature scan and retrieves only the registered applications—software that matches the signatures. However, you can also configure it to retrieve unknown applications, regular and virtual—software information that does not match any signatures.

The asset management agent collects either all the executable files on the hard disk of the asset or, if enabled, all of the virtual packages that do not match any of the software definitions and displays them appropriately in the following folders:

Note: The collection of unknown software information is supported only with signature scanning.
