Software inventory

Page Software Inventory presents applications detected on computers monitored by eAuditor. It enables aggregated software analysis and review of the details of each installation.

Three views are available:

• All - aggregated list of detected programs,

• Details - information about each installation on a specific computer,

• Recently installed - programs sorted by installation date.

All view

View All groups detected applications and displays basic information such as:

• program name,

• manufacturer,

• organizational structure,

• number of detected installations.

The number of installations is an active element. When selected, the system displays a list of computers on which the given program was detected.

The organizational structure is configured in the organization settings. For the data to appear in the appropriate structure, computers must be assigned to it.

Checking where the program is installed

1

Find the program

Use the search box or the filters available above the table.

2

Select the number of installations

Click the value in the column showing the number of detected installations.

3

Check the computers

The system will display a list of devices on which the selected application was detected.

Details view

View Details presents each installation as a separate entry. Depending on the available data, the table may include:

• program name,

• version,

• manufacturer,

• detected vulnerabilities,

• installation date,

• registry key,

• computer name,

• IP address,

• organizational structure,

• operating system,

• Host ID.

This view is especially useful when:

• preparing reports,

• comparing program versions,

• searching for outdated installations,

• analyzing vulnerabilities,

• exporting data for selected computers.

View Details is used for data analysis and does not allow direct uninstallation of applications. To initiate uninstallation, use the view All or Recently installed.

Recently Installed view

View Recently installed makes it easier to detect new installations and review changes from a selected period.

The table may include, among other things:

• installation date,

• program name,

• manufacturer,

• the number of installations.

After selecting the number of installations, you can check the computers on which the program was detected. From this view, you can also proceed to remote uninstallation of the application if the given installation supports such an operation.

Searching for a specific installation

1

Open the Details view

Go to the detailed installation listing.

2

Apply filters

Enter the program name and optionally select the version, manufacturer, computer, or organizational structure.

3

Verify the result

Check the version, installation date, computer, and other information available in the row.

4

Export data

If you need a report, use the export function after setting the appropriate filters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the number of installations differ from the number of computers?

A single computer may have different versions, editions, or components of the same program. The result may also be affected by the way the vendor registers individual application components.

Why does the installation date appear incorrect?

The date comes from information stored by the system or the program installer. An update, repair, or re-registration of the application may change this date.

Why does the program have no manufacturer or version number?

Some installers do not record complete data. In such cases, eAuditor may display an empty field or a limited set of information.

Are portable applications visible in the inventory?

Not all of them. A portable application (commonly referred to as portable) that does not leave a standard installation entry may not be detected as an installed program.
