Custom port option for inventory upload
IT Asset Management version 2020 R1
Each inventory beacon has a BeaconEngine.config file that,
among other things, specifies its own
networkname
where installed
instances of FlexNet Inventory Agent may attempt to upload inventory collected on their
local inventory device. This release enhances the possible values of this
networkname
(an attribute of the
beaconCommonSettings
element in the
BeaconEngine.config XML file) to allow a custom port on the
inventory beacon, specified in the format
host:port
(or, when no
custom port is specified, the defaults are port 80 for HTTP, or port 443 for HTTPS).
This extends the existing options that also allow:- An alternative computer name, which can redirect uploads to a different inventory beacon
- An IPv4 address (useful, for example, when the installed FlexNet Inventory Agent cannot access a reliable DNS)
- A fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
