Software Inventory

Software Inventory

You can centrally view a list of software installed on all endpoints. The list includes details for each application such as vendor and version information. You can view this information by application or vendor on the Applications pane or by host on the Hosts pane. FortiClient sends installed application information to FortiClient EMS.

EMS sends software inventory logs to FortiAnalyzer for real-time and historic logging and reporting. FortiClient sends the software inventory information to EMS when it first registers to EMS. If software changes occur on the endpoint, such as installing new software, updating existing software, or removing existing software, FortiClient sends an updated inventory to EMS and EMS sends the changes to FortiAnalyzer. See System Settings.

This feature requires the EPP license. See FortiClient EMS.
