System Information
This topic also applies to SolarWinds SCM, which supports Asset Inventory polling.
This SAM widget provides a general overview of the selected node. It appears on the Asset Inventory view of the Node Details page if the Monitor Asset Inventory in SAM is enabled for a node.
- To refresh data in this widget, click Poll Now to force all Asset Inventory data to be polled immediately.
- To navigate to the Node Details view of the current node, click the link in the System Name field.
When the listed machine is Microsoft Hyper-V virtual hardware, certain fields are populated with VM-related information. Because SAM collects physical enclosure information from this class when using WMI, the following fields may read as follows:
- Manufacturer will read, "Microsoft."
- Model will read, “Virtual Machine.”
- Serial Number will read a GUID string.
Fields on this widget include:
