Audit

Agents audit the hardware and software configurations of their managed machines on a recurring basis. Agents report the information back to the Kaseya Server so you can access it using the VSA even when managed machines are powered down. The system maintains three types of audits for each machine ID:

• Baseline audit - The configuration of the system in its original state. Typically a baseline audit is performed when a system is first set up.
• Latest audit - The configuration of the system as of the last audit. Once per day is recommended.
• System Info - All DMI / SMBIOS data of the system as of the last system info audit. This data seldom changes and typically only needs to be run once.

The VSA detects changes in a machine's configuration by comparing the latest audit to the baseline audit. The Kaseya REST API provides both a summary audit record (single level) and a detailed audit record (multi-level).
