Updating information on software inventory

[abmteam]

Hello all,

When I install (setup) the swaudit product I get information about software inventory.

How can I update the information about inventory? I'd like to run again software inventory without lose information about firstseen/last seen/last used.

Thanks in advances,

Alexandre Borges

Hello,

Not sure what you mean with "firstseen/last seen/last used"

For updating information on software inventory you have to set

Code: Alles auswählen

swaudit=setup

or

Code: Alles auswählen

swaudit=always

After running swaudit on the client, information about "last seen" will be changed, information about "created" will not be changed.

Hope this helps,

regards,

Hello,

First, thank you for your answer.

(I´m using FILE backend). When the software inventory runs, the information (first seen/last seen/last used) on the /var/lib/opsi/config/audit/machine_name_xxxxxxxxxx.sw file changes.

But the first seen field, I think, shouldn´t change. (The software had been seen on the previous inventory.) Does it also happen with the mysql backend?

Thanks again,

Alexandre

Hello Alexandre,

(I´m using FILE backend). When the software inventory runs, the information (first seen/last seen/last used) on the /var/lib/opsi/config/audit/machine_name_xxxxxxxxxx.sw file changes.

now i understand.

- we recommend for the auditing functions the use of the mysql-Backend.
- Dont rely on the information in the backend (for instance file or mysql) cause this information may change in future releases.
- have a look at the json-api Web service / API methods in the opsi-manual (method auditSoftwareOnClient)
