About Inventory Settings

Purpose

This document has been produced to provide guidelines and reference materials for navigating and using the Inventory Settings page within your assessment.

Instances Tab Overview

• Node Name - This is the host name of the node being assessed

• IP Address - Local IP Addresses of the machines being monitored

• Platform - Shows the OS Platform (Windows, Linux etc)

• CPU Info - CPU Model, Speed and Threads assigned per node

• Asset - Shows which Asset group the node is in

• Agent Status - Shows whether the agent is Collecting Data, Inactive or Sleeping

• Data Collection Mode - Lists the source (Agent, AgentlessDC) of data collection.

• Data Collection - This allows you to toggle data collection for the specific node

• Assessment Scope - This allows you to toggle nodes in and out of the scope of the assessment for results

• Reason - If a node is excluded from the assessment scope this will show the reason for the exclusion, e.g. User Disabled

• MS SQL Data Collection Status: This will provide you with the status of the MS SQL data collected from the node.

  • MS SQL Data Collection Status will have the following values and its meaning.

    • N/A: The machine doesn’t have MS SQL edition

    • Collecting: MS SQL data is successfully collected.

    • Any error message: There was an error while collecting the MS SQL data. The error may be due to the PowerShell version, .NET Version, etc. The prerequisite for the MS SQL Data Collection is available on our KB here.

Note: If you add nodes after the data collection has started, Cloudamize will not automatically include those new nodes into the assessment data. If newly added nodes are required in the final assessment, please get in touch with the Cloudamize Helpdesk for assistance at helpdesk@cloudamize.com or via our portal.

Asset Tab Overview

Within Asset settings we are able to create new asset groups and edit them. Asset groups allow for easy management of groups of machines during data collection and within the migration planner.

To create a new asset group enter a name, toggle if you want it in scope or excluded, then click add.

Asset groups can be edited or deleted by clicking the three dots and selecting the appropriate option.

Removed Instances Tab Overview

Instances can be removed from the assessment entirely in some cases (such as when duplicates are created or to tidy up the portal by removing unwanted nodes).

In the case that it is required to re-add an instance that has been removed from the assessment, you can find a list of removed instances in this tab. To re-add, check the mark next to the desired server/servers and click “Add to Assessment”.

Infrastructure views

By selecting View Infrastructure we can change views between Hypervisors and Hypervisors. By selecting a Hypervisor we can view all the VMs on a specific Host. 

By selecting Physical Infrastructure we will be able to look through all nodes with agents installed or that are being monitored by an agentless data collector even if they are being monitored already.

Downloading and Uploading Infrastructure and Asset information

We can download an overview of the infrastructure by clicking the Download button (see screen-shot).

We can also upload an asset group mapping in .csv format by clicking the Upload button (see screen-shot).

Nodes Overview

At the top right of the inventory settings page there will be the 3 following fields:

• Purchased Nodes - The total number of licenses assigned to the assessment.

• Consumed Nodes - The total number of licenses consumed by instances included in scope (one per instance).

• Installed Agents - The total number of nodes monitored by Cloudamize Agents/ADCs, including any Removed Instances.
