Inventory Drift

Inventory drift is when an endpoint's software or hardware changes- software is installed or removed, or hardware is added or pulled. This page lets you choose which changes to watch and who gets notified.

Availability

Inventory Drift is available on EndpointOps editions and above. If you don't see it in the menu, your license doesn't include it.

How to get here​

You reach this page through Settings, so you need administrator (settings) permission. If you don't see the Settings icon, ask your administrator for access.

  1. Sign in to EndpointOps.
  2. In the top-right of any screen, click the Settings (gear ⚙️) icon.
  3. In the Settings menu on the left, open Policy Management and click Inventory Drift.

Navigate to: Settings → Policy Management → Inventory Drift

URL path: /settings/policy-management/inventory-drift
