About Scheduled Inventories

The WLSE runs 3 types of inventories on a regularly scheduled basis:

•Basic inventories that collect all the information required by the WLSE to populate displays, such as reports, and to place devices in system-defined groups. This inventory runs hourly by default.

In the inventory history listing, these inventories appear under the name Inventory.

•Client inventories that only collect information about associations of clients to access points. This inventory runs every 5 minutes by default.

In the inventory history listing, these inventories appear under the name ClientInventory.

•Performance inventories that only collect the performance attributes used in trend reports for access points, bridges, and AAA servers. This inventory runs every 15 minutes.

In the inventory history listing, these inventories appear under the name PerformanceInventory.
