- syscollector -- a system management / inventory collection service
- ====================================================================
-
- “System Collector” (syscollector) is a multi-backend system management and
- inventory collection service. It may be used to collect information from
- various backends (inventory services, monitoring services, etc.) and
- provides a unique interface to access the information independent of the
- active backends. This is done by mapping the backend objects to generic
- objects and correlating the attributes to create a single hierarchy of your
- infrastructure.
-
- This is free and open source software, licensed under the 2-clause BSD
