Appearance
View Inventory
The Inventory page shows all assets that have collected inventory data. Use it to browse inventory coverage, check collection freshness, and drill into per-asset inventory details.
Accessing the Inventory Page
Navigate to Inventory in the left menu. The page lists all assets with inventory data.
Inventory Table
The main table lists each asset's inventory summary with the following columns:
| Column | Sortable | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Asset | Yes | The asset name. Click to open the asset's inventory detail page. |
| Datasets | Yes | The number of distinct dataset types collected for this asset (shown as a badge) |
| Records | Yes | The total number of inventory records for this asset |
| Last Sync | Yes | When inventory data was last received from this asset. Shows "Never" if no data has been collected. |
| Version | Yes | The snapshot version number (e.g., v1, v2, v3) |
| Type | No | The most recent snapshot type: Full (green) or Delta (yellow) |
| Actions | No | View button to open the inventory detail page |
Search
Use the search bar to filter the inventory list by asset ID or asset name.
Sort
Click any sortable column header to sort:
- Last Sync descending shows assets with the most recent data first
- Records descending shows assets with the most inventory data first
- Version descending shows assets with the most snapshot updates
TIP
Sort by Last Sync ascending to identify stale assets: those where inventory data has not been collected recently. This may indicate a sensor that has gone offline or a connectivity issue.
Understanding the Summary
Datasets Count
The datasets count indicates how many different types of inventory data have been collected for an asset. A higher count means more comprehensive coverage:
- 1-3 datasets: Minimal collection (may indicate a misconfigured sensor or partial collection)
- 4-7 datasets: Standard collection
- 8+ datasets: Comprehensive collection covering packages, services, policies, networking, and users
Snapshot Type
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Full | A complete capture of all inventory data. Expected on first collection. |
| Delta | Incremental update containing only changes. Expected on routine collections. |
A series of delta snapshots indicates the sensor is operating efficiently. If you see only full snapshots, the sensor may be restarting frequently or unable to maintain state between runs.
Common Workflows
Check Overall Inventory Coverage
- View the inventory list
- Verify that all expected assets appear
- Check the Datasets column to ensure adequate coverage
- Identify any assets showing "Never" for Last Sync
Identify Stale Inventory
- Sort by Last Sync ascending
- Investigate assets where the last sync is older than expected
- Check the corresponding sensor status to diagnose collection issues
Drill Into a Specific Asset
- Click the asset name or the view button
- The inventory detail page opens with full records, snapshots, changes, and collection runs
