SysAuditor data collection tools collect and create a real time inventory of a system by capturing hardware, software (all components) licensing, processes, applications and connections.
This information is sorted based on the SPDX data sharing profiles for easy display with relationships.
The data graph can be stored in a database for easy retrieval and analysis.
Data Capture Tool - This tool reads, captures, and stores metadata on a computer related to hardware and software in near real time using the SPDX V3.1 standard. A comprehensive inventory of all components, including virtual machines, is required for compliance with purchase, operations, and insurance regulatory requirements.
Change Monitoring Tool - Changes between different “Data Capture” versions are identified using the Change Monitoring Tool. It is essential to determine if system changes have been implemented and not documented.
Amalgamation Tool - Inventories from different systems can be amalgamated into a master inventory for better searching, traceability, and management. A central inventory reduces the time and errors associated with searching for components across many systems.
Analysis Tool - Analysing the significant amount of metadata collected is important. Specific analysis needs will be determined with the support of specialized tools.
Visualization Tool - Most systems have hundreds to thousands of nodes. The visualization tool helps users understand the relationship between components by visually presenting information. Different views and presentations help identify Licenses, certificates, hardware, software, virtual machines, etc.
Augmentation Tool - Information augmentation helps system operators document and share information related to risk management and operations. Defining processes for enhancements, updates, and related processes is all part of enrichment. The visualization tool can be used for augmentation or enrichment.
Import and Export Tool - SPDX documents can be imported and exported for a variety of reasons.
Supply Chain Creation Tool - Creating a supply chain for internal and external sharing is made easy with the SysAuditor SC Creation Tool. Designing, changing, and expanding the supply chain visually is a practical and easy method for managing supply chains. Adding supply chain information to hardware is an example of the power of this creation tool.
