Hi,
Is there a way to change the time when an installed agent launches his daily inventory ?
Have a nice day.

Hi Paul,
For an agent that is downloading the configuration settings that are maintained globally, you can configure the following settings related to agent scheduling from the FNMS Web UI in the 'Policy' (Discovery & Inventory > Settings):
The agents pick a random time within the time window configured for creating the inventory.
In addition, you can fine tune these settings using the 'Do not rerun after success for X minutes/hours' flag and/or by setting the 'Run last missed event' flag.
Please note that there is only a single policy that will be used by all agents connected to the same FNMS environment.
If you must run agents at a specific time, the alternative is not to use the global agent configuration settings, but trigger the agent (ndtrack) for example using the 'task scheduler' on Windows. In this case, you have to control agent settings including the Beacon to be used for uploading the Inventory data using agent command line options. In this scenario, agent settings have to be maintained locally. You can use a single Beacon for uploading data only, and you cannot track application usage data.

Hi Paul,
There is no agent option for configuring a specific time for the Inventory, unfortunately.
You can only configure the start time and time window globally, and FNMS agents will pick a random time from with this time window.
