Inventory
The Inventory tab provides details related to the appliance metadata, physical monitoring attributes, software details, and the properties of storage components.
You can export all the inventory data in an Excel file by clicking Export in the kebab menu.
For a clustered system, the individual serial numbers for the nodes are listed under the Appliance tab, along with the summary details such as, number of nodes, change count, inventory 'last collected on' timestamp etc.
Click on each of the serial numbers to open the node-specific inventory details. You can adjust the Timeframe filter at the cluster level to retrieve the node-specific inventory change count limited to the selected time-frame.
In the Timeframe filter, select from one of the options ranging from 'Last Collected' to 'Past 15 Days', to filter data for a specific snapshot in time.
You can also define a custom date range for the Timeframe filter. Click the calendar icon and specify a date range, which will be applied to all the nodes within the cluster for fetching the change count.
Click on the serial number of a node to independently apply Timeframe filters and view node-specific inventory collections.
Refer to the following section for details.
Select a desired date/time from the Collected On filter to retrieve the inventory data received on that specific date and time.
By default, the Collected On filter provides the options to select from the 'most recently collected' date, to the 15 collections prior to that date.
You can also filter the inventory collections for a specific date range. Click the calendar icon and specify the date range, and then select a specific date to load the inventory data received on that date.
Then the Collected On filter allows you to select a different date snapshot for the inventory collected 15 days prior and 15 days later, from the custom date.
If there is any change in the parent component, a blue dot will appear next to it and the changed values will be represented in new value (old value) format.
The Inventory tab displays the number of total changes detected (highlighted with a blue dot) as having changed from the most recent, previous inventory, across all the components and attributes of an appliance.
You can click on the changed component (marked with a blue dot) listed on the left-side pane to expand it in the right-side pane. Then browse through the details to find the changed properties that are also marked with blue dots. This allows you to track and pinpoint the exact components and attributes that were changed.
Multi-component comparison
Parent component categories that contain multiple instances of a component (e.g. DIMM category contains multiple DIMM slot details) show all component details in a matrix table view. This allows you to quickly scan the entire contents of a category and compare each component to its relative siblings.
