Configuration of Snow Inventory Agents

The Snow Inventory Agents collect inventory data from the computers in your organization, enabling you to manage and control your software assets via Snow Atlas or Snow License Manager.

The Snow Inventory Agents are used for inventory of Windows, Linux, macOS, and Unix computers. The agents scan the computers and save the collected data to encrypted files, which are sent to a Snow Inventory endpoint (Snow Inventory Server or Snow Extender).

The agent configuration file is an XML file that contains configurable settings telling the agents what to inventory, when to inventory, and where to send the inventory result.

This document describes the configuration of the agents in the latest version of the products. Some functionality described in this document may work differently or not at all in previous versions.
