Hardware inventory
Maintain the hardware facts an IT team needs to identify, support and plan endpoint lifecycle decisions.
What the administrator needs to solve.
Inventory becomes unreliable when hardware facts are collected manually or only during procurement. Distributed devices change, move and age outside a central spreadsheet.
How ZENQIX handles it.
ZENQIX collects endpoint hardware and operating-system facts into the same device record used for operational status and site context.
Requested action and verified outcome stay separate.
What is currently in scope.
Manufacturer/model where supported
CPU and architecture
Memory
Disk capacity where supported
Operating-system version/build
Serial/platform identifier where supported
Availability by operating system.
Private-pilot collection path exists.
Cross-platform agent build exists; physical acceptance is pending.

Inspect the state the UI needs to expose.
This panel uses synthetic data. A genuine ZENQIX Endpoint screen can replace it only after sanitization and publication approval.
Security
- • Collect only operationally useful fields
- • Keep customer telemetry separate from public website analytics
- • Restrict inventory access through product authorization
Evidence
- • Collection timestamp
- • Observed hardware values
- • Agent identity
- • Device record association
Technical detail
- • Inventory is treated as current evidence, not a permanent truth
- • Unsupported fields should remain unknown rather than be fabricated
Technical questions for this capability.
Does ZENQIX collect every hardware field available?
No. The goal is a trusted operational record, not indiscriminate collection.
Can inventory be used without endpoint status?
It can be viewed independently, but combining inventory with heartbeat and site context is what makes the record operationally useful.
Evaluate hardware inventory in your environment.
Use the capability matrix and the written acceptance checklist to confirm whether the current status matches your pilot needs.
