Hardware change logging

About hardware inventory

Miradore clients run hardware inventory scans and send collected inventory information to Miradore server at regular, configurable intervals. The inventory interval can be set for each client platform separately in the system settings of Miradore. See Inventory types and update intervals for detailed description of what data is collected from devices running on different platforms. The collected data may vary between different client platforms.

About hardware change logging

If Asset inventory change logging is enabled at "System settings > Main > Event log settings > Asset inventory change log" in Miradore, then Miradore compares the newest hardware inventory scan results with the previous scan result to detect changes in the devices hardware configurations. If a change is detected, it is logged and shown in Hardware inventory change log report. At the system settings, it is also possible to define how long information of the changes is stored in Miradore.
