The configurable audit report takes only seconds to run and contains data such as System Overview, installed software, licensing, usage, uptime statistics, BIOS version, Processor and Memory.

Reports can be saved in spreadsheet, text and HTML and can be exported to a database, which makes it easy to create and maintain configuration management data on multiple servers.
