Configure Inventory Detection Module

By configuring the existing inventory detection modules, you can collect additional inventory information. A best example is configuring the WBEM Inventory module. This module collects the hardware inventory information from the Windows assets. You can configure or create a new module based on this module and collect additional inventory information.

Important! You should be careful while enabling additional inventory data. Configuring a lot of information can cause heavy load on the asset and considerably reduce the network performance as the collected, transferred, and imported data can be huge.

To configure the WBEM inventory module

1. Double-click the WBEM inventory module.

   The Properties for WBEM Inventory dialog appears.

2. Click Launch in the Configuration tab.

   The WMI Configuration window appears.

3. Select the inventory items you want to add to the module and click OK.

   The inventory detection module is configured with the additional inventory items. You can add WBEM module to any of the collect tasks so that the assets running the collect task returns the additional inventory items.
