ABSTRACT:
Efficiently performing a complete inventory of a shared file system is provided. A list of a set of shared file systems is sent from a configuration management agent to a central server, the list indicates which shared file systems are mounted by a computing device associated with the configuration management agent. Responsive to a notification from a central server indicating that a software inventory scan is to be performed by the configuration management agent, a software inventory scan of the one or more shared file systems is initiated. Results of the software inventory scan are uploaded to the central server and shared with other computing devices that mount the one or more shared file systems in the set of shared file systems. Thus, other the computing devices do not have to scan the one or more shared file systems to retrieve the results of the software inventory scan.
