Asset Inventory

License Required

For IGEL OS 11 and IGEL OS 12 devices:

The Asset Inventory Tracker requires a valid license from the IGEL Enterprise Management Pack (EMP). When the license expires, the feature is no longer available; devices whose licenses have expired will no longer send updated asset information to the UMS. For information on license deployment, see IGEL Subscription and More.

With this function, you find information about peripherals connected to an endpoint device. The peripherals are sorted according to categories. A device can belong to more than one category and, accordingly, may be shown a number of times.

The Asset Inventory Tracker can be activated or deactivated under UMS Administration > Global Configuration > UMS Features > Enable inventory tracking.

Read Out Asset Data via API

If you have a license for Asset Inventory Tracker (AIT), you can read out asset information as well as the asset history via a REST interface. For details, see Asset Information in the IGEL Management Interface V3 > IMI API V3 Reference.
