Linux Inventory

Linux inventory with Docusnap offers IT administrators and IT managers an efficient and comprehensive solution for managing and documenting their Linux systems. This agentless inventory uses standard protocols such as SSH and SFTP to ensure seamless integration and data collection. The collected data is stored in Docusnap's ITIL-compliant Configuration Management Database (CMDB), which provides a central and structured overview of all systems.

Through automated and recurring data collection, Docusnap significantly reduces manual effort and always provides up-to-date information about hardware, software, configurations and settings of Linux systems. This is particularly useful for planning and managing IT infrastructure, as well-founded decisions can be made based on accurate and up-to-date data.

The option to carry out inventory manually, time-controlled or scripted provides flexibility and adaptability to different security requirements and network conditions. Script-based inventory is a major advantage, particularly in security-sensitive areas such as demilitarized zones (DMZ), as it enables the secure recording of system information.

Another practical advantage is the ability to inventory decentralized locations without complex database exports and imports. Online or VPN connections and encrypted, time-controlled data transfers ensure efficient and secure Linux inventory.

The automatically generated documentation outputs, such as data sheets and graphical representations of the network infrastructure, provide a clear and customizable presentation of the collected data. This not only makes internal IT documentation easier, but also supports audits and compliance checks.
