DevID Agent: Device Identification Utility
A device identification tool collecting detailed info on hardware & software for unique fingerprints, aiding in asset management, licensing compliance, and security
What is DevID Agent?
DevID Agent is a lightweight system profiling and inventory utility developed by Solarwinds. It collects detailed information about computer hardware, software, and other system components to create unique device fingerprints and system IDs. Key features and uses of DevID Agent include:
- Hardware and software asset management - Automatically scan networks to catalog installed software, drivers, system components, and hardware details across managed devices. This helps maintain accurate inventory records.
- License compliance and optimization - Ensure your organization has properly licensed software installed. Reports detail installation counts to simplify license reconciliations.
- System analysis and reporting - Generate detailed reports containing system profiles, software and hardware inventories, changes over time, and more to inform IT management and planning.
- Enhanced endpoint security - Create whitelists of known systems. Unauthorized machines missing certified DevID fingerprints can then be flagged as suspicious to improve cyber security.
DevID agents can be securely deployed to Windows, macOS, Linux, and other endpoint systems with minimal impact. Details collected from endpoints are stored in a central database for convenient reporting and analysis. Overall, DevID Agent simplifies the asset management tasks of taking inventory, monitoring systems, keeping licenses compliant, securing endpoints, and more.
