Inventory

Two related AWS Systems Manager capabilities for seeing across all your managed nodes.

• Fleet Manager
  • A single console UI to view and act on your entire fleet of managed instances — Windows, Linux, on-premises, and multi-cloud.
  • Browse the file system, view logs, inspect performance counters, manage users, and open a Session Manager shell, all without RDP or SSH.
• Inventory
  • Collects metadata about what’s on each node: installed applications, OS details, network config, running services, and custom attributes.
  • Data can aggregate across accounts and regions and be queried in Amazon Athena / visualised in Amazon QuickSight.
• Together they answer
  • “What software is running where, and let me act on it from one place.”
• Not to be confused with
  • AWS Config — tracks AWS resource configuration and change history. Inventory tracks inside-the-OS software and settings.
