Troubleshooting Agent-Based Audit

Alloy Discovery offers several agent-based audit methods: Network Folder Audit, Remote Audit, and Portable Audit. Those methods involve deploying the Inventory Analyzer to a target network or to a flash drive and launching the audit from the deployment location.

INFO: For details, see Overview of Audit Methods.

Alloy Discovery supports the agent-based audit of all supported types of hypervisors, except for VMware ESXi, which can be audited only via the Direct Network Scan. The agent-based audit of hypervisors is performed using the same standalone audit agents that are used for regular computers. Thus, please refer to the section corresponding to the operating system of your hypervisor, if its agent-based audit is not working as expected.
