The Technology Inventory Add-on for Splunk provides a dynamically automated solution for keeping track of assets and the software installed on them. The goal is to replace the manual efforts (and related human errors) historically used for tracking such things. This might be spreadsheets, wikis, or simple CMDBs.
This Add-on contains new search time fields and prebuilt panels to demonstrate them.
The Technology Inventory Add-on for Splunk provides an information model (but NOT the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM)) for your inventory items. To take advantage of this, start with the prebuilt panels available with the Splunk Add-on for Technology Inventory or run a search of your own by accessing the data with `techinventory_indexes` tag=inventory in the base search.
The naming conventions for fields are as follows: tinv_(domain)_(attribute)(|_units). For example: tinv_cpu_speed_ghz, tinv_cpu_cores.
The following table shows the various data points made available by the Technology Inventory Add-on for Splunk along with the inputs that are used to generate that data.
