Custom Data Registry Keys

Overview

The inventory scanner can scan for registry keys you specify and add their values to the core database. This can be useful for customized software, asset information, or other information stored in the registry that you want to include in the core database.

The Manage Software tool lets you specify registry keys to add to inventory scanning. Results are displayed in whatever section of the inventory you specify.

With Custom Data, we can query information that isn't normally gathered by landesk or information we've added ourselves.

Requesting new Custom Data

If you have a specific registry key you would like to have Landesk gather, email the Landesk administrator at IT@tufts.edu with the following:

  • location of the key
  • value the scanner is looking for
  • a attribute name for landesk to use when displaying the information
