How to manage IT assets with this integration?

This integration aims at providing a better visibility into IT and perform informed actions with the data gathered. This setup pulls data from the IT assets and stores them in a CMDB, which can be accessed by authorized personnel. This integrated workflow allows easy compilation of data and accessibility, since both helpdesk technicians and IT technicians work on the same platform. The data collection and compilation takes place during the following events:

  • Manual Asset Scan:When an IT administrator triggers an asset scan manually, the details are collected from the endpoints and updated in Endpoint Central server and ServiceDesk Plus server.
  • Scheduled Asset Scan:The asset scan takes place during the scheduled time. During every schedule, the data is posted to the CMDB through Endpoint Central server.
  • In addition, IT admins can map asset status to ServiceDesk Plus Cloud. Any asset state change captured in Endpoint Central Cloud will be relayed to ServiceDesk Plus Cloud. For example, when a asset is removed from Endpoint Central Cloud, that specific asset can be marked as 'Disposed' or remove the corresponding asset from ServiceDesk Plus.

 

The following data will be collected during asset scan and posted in the CMDB

  • Hardware details of the endpoints
  • Software details of the endpoints
  • Warranty Details
  • User Account Details
  • Driver Details
