Hi people ! 

 

So I upgraded EMS to 6.0.2 - and all looks fine. But I am unable to get anything for the software inventory ? There is nothing there... might it take a long time to populate ? And/or do my forticlient to be at a minimum level ??

 

EDIT !

After googeling hard I found a blog that states that you will need FortiClient 6.0 to get Software Inventory to work. I cant se this being mentioned anywhere in fortinet documentation or web.

 

Looks like a completley useless feature, it dont even recognize that I have chrome or spotify installed. Impossible to run any reports or use it for anything. Anyone actually got this to work in a proper way ?

    It only works with DC 6 and above!

     

    I'm confident FN have more plans ahead for this feature......

    Yeah - I fgured it out eventually.

     

    Im sure that they have plans Ahead, I just find it strange that they release something that is useless. The sales material from Fortinet looks to be finalized allright :) .. They are just not delivering what the sales material says. When you tell Your customers that you can have software Inventory - you should deliver software Inventory. Or at least something Close to it.. this feature is just completley useless

    Yeah agreed that it is useless at the moment. This was just introduced in 6.0 so just be patient with it. I recently updated to 6.0.3 and it seems to work much better in this version, though there is still no reporting that I can find (maybe this is supposed to be done through FortiAnalyzer?)
