Audit > System Info

Show me an explanation of the items on this page.

System Info displays all DMI / SMBIOS data collected for each managed machine. System Info collection, like Baseline Audit, is automatically scheduled and run once after creating a new machine account. System Info data rarely changes so running once is usually sufficient. To collect fresh System Info again, check the box in front of each requested managed machine and then click the Schedule button.  Missing data or data not available for a particular machine may be entered manually by the administrator.

When is System Info collected?

System Info runs once each time a collection is scheduled. Collection is automatically scheduled after creating a new machine account. To collect fresh System Info again, check the box in front of each requested managed machine and then click the Schedule button.

When would I Cancel a System Info collection?
