Introduction

Snow Inventory Agent for Linux is used for the inventory of Linux computers. The agent scans the computer and saves the collected data to a compressed and encrypted file, which is sent to a Snow Inventory endpoint (Master Server, Service Gateway, or Snow Extender).

Note that the descriptions on how to install and run the Linux agent apply to the latest version of the agent. Some of the described functionality may work differently or not at all in previous versions.

For detailed information on the agent configuration file, see Configuration of Snow Inventory Agents.
