Inventory Schedule Settings

Field Description

Enable Inventory Select to schedule inventory.

Configure Global Inventory Polling Interval Set the frequency of the inventory in weekly or daily

intervals.

NOTE: OpenManage Essentials performs inventory

only on devices that have already been discovered.

• Every Week On—Specify the day or days of the

week that you want to schedule the inventory and

the time that you want it to begin.

• Every <n> Days <n> Hours interval—Specify the

intervals between inventory cycles. The maximum

discovery interval is 365 days and 23 hours.

Inventory Polling Speed Set the amount of resources available for accelerating the

inventory poll speed. The faster you set the inventory poll

speed, the more resources are required, but less time is

required to perform the inventory.

After changing the speed, OpenManage Essentials may

take several minutes to adjust to the new speed.
